Discover the essential apps every entrepreneur needs—from accounting and scheduling to automations—and learn how your POS ties it all together.
Stack a Smart Toolkit for Your Small Business
Running a small business means wearing many hats. That’s why top owners rely on a toolkit of apps—each serving a different purpose: finance, scheduling, communication, and, of course, Point of Sale. Here's a comparison of essential apps—and how M&M POS fits into the bigger picture:
1. Accounting & Invoicing: QuickBooks / Xero
These tools help you track P&L, run monthly reports, and simplify tax time. They integrate with M&M POS, keeping your financials synced automatically so you don’t have to manually export sales data.
2. Staff Scheduling: When I Work / 7shifts
These apps automate shift planning, time clocking, and labor reports. M&M POS data can help you fine-tune schedules based on busy days or peak hours—so you're always staffed right.
3. Customer Engagement: Mailchimp / Klaviyo
Engage your customers with drip campaigns, loyalty builds, and review requests. M&M POS collects sales data and customer profiles to help you segment and personalize messaging effectively.
4. Inventory & Supplier Management: Sortly / Zoho Inventory
Keep stock organized with simple barcoding and ordering. M&M POS updates your inventory in real time—so you’ll never sell what you don’t have.
5. Automation & Integrations: Zapier / Integromat
Automate workflows between apps. Example: when a customer spends over a certain threshold, Zapier can trigger a review email or loyalty offer. And yes—M&M POS supports Zapier integration, so your data moves automatically.
The Heart of It: Your Point of Sale
Everything starts and ends at the POS. It’s where sales, products, customers, staff activity, and inventory connect. M&M POS ties into all these apps, giving you one central hub—no silos.
