Change can often spark feelings of anxiety, fear, and disdain. While something may seem to work for your business, the reality is the technology landscape for retailers is changing. If you don’t embrace it and evolve, you may end up losing out.

2. As humans, we’re all a little averse to change. It
comes from our innate sense to be comfortable
and feel safe. Change can bring feelings of anxiety,
negative outcomes, and the possibility of real risk.

CONTROL
FEAR:
SOLUTION:
We fear losing the control over how we’re managing
our store.
Changing your technology doesn’t mean you lose control,
it’s the opposite actually. When you work with RICS, we
enable you to be in control by working with you to plan a
timeline, set goals and expectations, and train you before
your new system goes live.

COMFORT
SOLUTION:
Any new system may take you out of your comfort zone
at first. With RICS, we’ll work with you to make sure that
you feel equipped to run the system and we’re moving at
a comfortable pace. Once you’re up and running, you’ll
realize that this change created a better (and perhaps
more comfortable) routine.
FEAR:
We’ve gotten comfortable in our routine.

CERTAINTY
SOLUTION:
FEAR:
We think we can’t control the outcome.
The only time you can’t control an outcome of a change is
when it was ill-planned. RICS will work with you to ensure
you know exactly what is happening with your technology.
Creating a plan and goals, and sticking to them, ensures
you know exactly what you’re getting out of the change.

SELF-CONFIDENCE
SOLUTION:
RICS was built to work for all skill levels, making it an easy
transition for any retailer. We do extensive training with
executives, owners, and staff to ensure you have the right
education to make you feel confident in the product. We
also offer continuous education, so your skills will never
get rusty.
FEAR:
We’re afraid we might not be able to learn
the new technology.

TIMING
SOLUTION:
Changing and getting used to a new POS system can seem
like a daunting task, and one that is too time consuming
to take on. But the reality is, our average client is up and
running within 47 days of subscribing with RICS. You can
manage your business day-to-day with your old platform
until you’re live with RICS, allowing you plenty of time to
transition without taking away from your daily tasks.
FEAR:
We don’t think we have enough time to change systems.
