Retail industry trends: What retailers need to kno

What is a POS for fashion retailers?

A POS (point of sale) is the system where transactions occur between the retailer and the customer. In the fashion and garment industry, a POS system helps manage sales, track customer preferences and optimise stock levels, ensuring a seamless shopping experience and effective inventory control.


POS systems are crucial in retail as they facilitate sales, manage inventory and provide valuable data insights. Clothing stores commonly use POS systems to manage operations efficiently and streamline payments. POS payment works by processing transactions through various payment methods, recording sales and updating stock in real time. POS systems like Lightspeed also double as inventory management software.

How do clothing stores keep track of inventory?

Clothing stores keep track of inventory using POS systems that record stock levels, track sales and update data in real time.


Retail stores often use barcodes and RFID tags for precise tracking. Inventory checks can occur weekly, monthly or quarterly to maintain accuracy. For clothing stores, the perpetual inventory control method, which continuously updates inventory records, is recommended. The simplest way to track inventory is through an integrated POS system like Lightspeed, combining sales and inventory data for real-time updates.

How do I make an inventory list for clothes?

To make an inventory list for clothes, start by listing all items in your store, including details such as item name, category, size, colour and quantity. You can get inventory for your clothing store by sourcing from wholesalers, manufacturers or fashion markets.


To keep an inventory of your clothing, use a reliable system like Lightspeed, which integrates inventory management with sales data for real-time updates. When creating your own inventory, categorise items by type and assign unique identifiers or barcodes. The amount of inventory you should have depends on your sales volume, storage capacity and demand trends, but it’s essential to maintain a balance to avoid overstocking or understocking.

What is the best inventory management software for a clothing store?

We think the best inventory management software for a clothing store is one that offers comprehensive features tailored to retail needs, like Lightspeed.


More simple POS systems like QuickBooks can manage inventory, but lack the specialised features found in dedicated retail inventory systems like Lightspeed. Excel can be used for basic inventory tracking, but is not an inventory management software.
