Enhancing efficiency with EPoS training for charity retailers
In today’s fast-paced digital world, charities face unique challenges when it comes to integrating technology into their operations. Kudos is dedicated to providing robust EPoS charity training, tailored specifically for the charitable sector. By offering on-demand training sessions, Kudos ensures that each organisation can maximise the potential of their software and receive maximum benefit from their investment. Our EPoS System project implementation and training ensure charity shops receive:
- Onboarding for staff and volunteers
- Ongoing technical support and guidance
- Regular software updates and enhancements
- Customised implementation projects to meet specific charity needs
- Dedicated account management and customer support
Software that’s designed to help your charity grow
Our processes have evolved over many years and thousands of installations. This means charities get great value and excellent customer service from the start. With a focus on understanding the distinct needs of each charity, Kudos delivers personalised training that aligns with the specific objectives of various departments, such as purchasing, finance, and retail management, ensuring that everyone can understand and utilise the software. We deliver focused sessions on specific topics, rather than long days of continuous training, to maximise the amount of knowledge retained from the sessions.
Training tailored to your charity’s needs
Kudos recognises that every charity is unique, with its own set of challenges and goals. Our training sessions are carefully designed to ensure that everyone from volunteers to fundraising teams, finance departments and shop managers receives the most relevant and beneficial instructions. We only train on areas of the software customers will use e.g. Loyalty (if and when they want to introduce a loyalty scheme). These bookable, on-demand sessions are not only convenient but also flexible, allowing users to progressively build their knowledge and adapt their approach as needed. Whether training is required at the office, remotely, or directly in-store for shop teams, Kudos has it covered, with a dedicated Project Manager to ensure seamless delivery and integration into daily operations.
Commitment to continuous learning
Kudos is committed to supporting continuous learning and development. We have a longstanding tradition of never charging for software upgrades, reflecting our dedication to our customers. Included in the annual software licence fee is a regular programme of software enhancements and upgrades, provided at no additional cost. It’s just one of the reasons charity’s switch to us, and stay with us. Free webinars and comprehensive supporting documentation accompany major upgrades, enabling users to fully harness the capabilities of the software and stay up-to-date with the latest technological advancements.
A community of charity retailers
Kudos fosters a sense of community among our charity customers through user forums and webinars. These events not only keep users informed about new developments but also provide a valuable opportunity for organisations to share best practices, insights, strategies, and success stories. Market research is conducted to ensure that Kudos’ software and support evolves and improves, making it a cost-effective way to remain at the forefront of retail technology innovation. This ongoing engagement helps charities optimise their use of technology, ensuring they can adapt to changes in the challenging retail environment and continue to make a significant impact.
Harnessing the power of Kudos’ EPoS System
Our project, training and account managers are proactive in supporting customers to help get the most out of the charity POS system, software and support that Kudos provides. By keeping in touch with our customers, we understand them better and can develop solutions and services in line with their needs. Reviewing the touch screen design at regular intervals, for example, helps ensure volunteers have an easy-to-use EPOS that keeps up to date with the evolving retailing environment. We’re also here to help charity retailers detect and address any problems before they have an impact on trading.
