Advantages of a Cloud-Based System

How does CampusCloud stack up against the standards?
The retail industry is constantly evolving to adapt to changing shopper behavior and advances in technology. Cloud-based retail management systems have a number of advantages to help you streamline your operations, reduce costs, and improve your overall store performance vs. on-premises systems:
- Accessibility and Flexibility: A cloud-based retail system gives you the flexibility to access your system from anywhere using a device with a web browser and an internet connection. With CampusCloud you have full access to the entire software suite from anywhere with no limits on the operations or processes you can access.
- Cost-Effective: Cloud-based systems eliminate the need for costly hardware and software installations, maintenance, and upgrades. Your cloud provider maintains the software infrastructure and updates are made remotely, reducing your capital and operational expenses. CampusCloud is hosted on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) platform and your all-inclusive subscription covers all of your support, maintenance, and system updates.
- Integration: Cloud-based systems are designed to integrate with other software solutions, such as accounting software and e-commerce platforms. This allows you to manage all your store operations from a single platform. CampusCloud has partnered with leading industry experts like Verba, VitalSource, Redshelf, and Watchman Payment Systems to modernize your processes using real-time APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) and offers a fully integrated eCommerce site with real-time updates.
- Data Security: Cloud-based systems provide enhanced features, such as encryption and multi-factor authentication, to protect customer information. This eliminates the risk of data loss or theft that can occur with traditional on-premises systems. With CampusCloud your data is secured in transit and at rest and our credit card integration with Clover is PCI compliant out-of-the-box with Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE).
- Real-Time Insights: Cloud-based systems provide you with real-time insights into your store activities, such as sales, inventory levels, and eCommerce activity. This gives you the tools to make informed decisions and respond quickly during busy periods. CampusCloud moves past static reports to give you in-the-moment data and metrics throughout the system and automates processes to streamline your operations.
