5 Must-Have POS Features for Mall Tenants in Malaysia
In Malaysia’s vibrant retail scene, having attractive storefronts and quality products is no longer enough.
For tenants in malls like 1 Utama and KL East Mall, a modern POS system with the right features is key to staying competitive.
From seamless GTO integration to real-time analytics, a well-equipped POS is crucial to delivering an efficient and satisfying shopping experience.
The adoption of advanced POS systems has become essential as retailers aim to reduce friction at checkout and enhance the overall customer journey.
Studies show that over 50% of customers are less likely to spend more time at the checkout counter, making efficiency critical.
This trend is expected to drive a global POS system market growth of 10.8% over the next few years.
Why the Right POS Features Are Crucial for Mall Tenants
Customers enjoy the physical shopping experience—browsing items, interacting with staff, and experiencing the ambiance.
However, many retailers overlook how a powerful POS system can directly impact customer satisfaction and operational success.
Here are five key features every Malaysian mall tenant should look for in a POS system.
1. Automated GTO Reporting with Mall Integration
Gross Turnover (GTO) refers to the total sales before taxes or expenses, including both cash and card payments.
In Malaysian malls, tenants are required to report their GTO daily, as rental fees are often tied to these figures.
Automating this process through POS-mall integration removes the need for manual input, improves accuracy, and reduces the risk of reporting disputes.
EasyStore’s POS integrates with malls like The Exchange TRX, KL East Mall, Gurney Plaza, Queensbay Mall, and 1 Utama, enabling tenants to submit GTO data effortlessly and accurately.
This integration saves time and ensures compliance with mall regulations, freeing businesses to focus on sales and customer service.
2. Built-In E-Invoicing Automation
Electronic invoices (e-invoices) are digital records of transactions that offer a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional paper invoicing.
With e-invoicing automation, businesses benefit from:
Seamless Integration: Automatically connects with your POS system.
One-Time Customer Entry: Customer details are securely stored after one input.
Quick Verification: Customers can scan a QR code to verify and retrieve their e-invoice.
At EasyStore, our POS supports e-invoicing through a user-friendly interface, making it easy for customers to request and receive their invoices—improving customer service while staying compliant with tax standards.
3. Built-In Staff Management Tools
Effective staff management is essential, especially in malls where tenants are expected to operate from 10 AM to 10 PM.
A reliable POS system can help ensure compliance while also offering insights into team performance.
Key features include:
Check-In/Out Monitoring: Ensures staff are operating within mall-mandated hours.
Sales Attribution: Assigns sales to specific staff for performance tracking.
Daily Sales Reports: Offers a clear overview of store performance each day.
With EasyStore’s POS Staff Management System, tenants can efficiently oversee staff schedules, reward high performers, and remain compliant with mall regulations.
4. Accurate Inventory Tracking
Keeping shelves well-stocked is vital to satisfying customers and driving sales. A reliable POS system supports accurate, real-time inventory tracking to prevent stockouts and overstocking.
How it works:
Open the “Inventory Count” function.
Start a new inventory check.
Scan each item for precise tracking.
With accurate stock data, staff can instantly check availability, assist customers with product alternatives, or recommend items from other locations—providing a seamless shopping experience.
5. Consistent Omnichannel Experience
Modern shoppers expect a unified experience across all retail touchpoints.
By offering consistent services in-store and online, mall tenants can boost loyalty and ensure brand consistency.
Examples include:
Cross-Outlet Loyalty Programs: Customers earn rewards and receive personalized offers regardless of where they shop.
Save to Wishlist, See It In-Store: Allows customers to shortlist items online and check them out at a physical outlet later.
Buy Online, Pick Up In-Store (BOPIS): Combines the convenience of online shopping with the immediacy of in-store pickup, saving time and reducing shipping costs.
With EasyStore’s POS, merchants can create a connected shopping journey that meets evolving customer expectations—whether online or in person.
Conclusion
To thrive in Malaysia’s competitive mall environment, tenants must look beyond visual merchandising and product quality.
A feature-rich POS system—equipped with GTO reporting, e-invoicing, staff management, inventory tracking, and omnichannel capabilities—can dramatically streamline operations and improve customer satisfaction.
By leveraging modern POS technology, mall tenants can stay compliant, enhance service, and build lasting customer relationships, setting themselves apart in an ever-evolving retail landscape.
