Empowering retailers to effectively accept multiple modes of payment

Pine Labs Merchants Success Stories: Manyavar

Background

Manyavar store was set up in Varanasi by Sanjeev Yadav, in the year 2007. The store brings an exquisite collection of ethnic wear for both men and women, making this label the most preferred choice for fashion lovers in Varanasi, for their special occasions. Sanjeev Yadav expanded his store to three locations within Varanasi, building excellent infrastructure spaces for this brand, with a wide collection of fashionable ethnic wearables that cater to everyone's preferences.

Challenge

Though Sanjeev Yadav was willing to embrace the latest technology to make payments smarter, his basic challenge was equipping his staff with hands-on knowledge related to the use of POS technology and empowering them to use, keeping in mind the business advantage. Cashiers and other staff members knew how to operate on a basic level but found themselves stranded, when faced with an unexpected situation, where the receipt doesn't print, or when they need to re-visit the last transaction. They also found it difficult to use POS machines to accept all forms of payments and would be okay accepting cash payments.

"Pine Labs has best-in-class technology, which not only helps us accept payments, but translates leads into business. The only challenge that I faced was in understanding all the features and processes that their POS machine offers." - Sanjeev Yadav

Pine Labs' POS technology is robust and designed to help merchants grow their business. However, the scenario where a store cashier has to struggle with the machine, to accept different types of payments and/or complete the transaction, can be disastrous for business.

"Today, my workforce is empowered to quickly perform various forms of transactions and we are able to deliver a better customer experience"
