Why Choose Futura’s Fashion Retail EPOS Software?
When you run a fashion retail business, your technology needs to work the way you do. Here is how Futura fashion retail EPOS supports your day-to-day store operations:
Find the Right Size or Colour While the Customer Is Still in Store
Size, Colour & Style Matrix: Manage the product variants that are fundamental to fashion retail directly from the till. Staff can view sizes and colours in a clear product matrix and check live stock availability across selected stores, helping them locate the right variant while the customer is still in front of them.
Returns & Exchanges: Manage the high volume of returns and exchanges that are part of fashion retail. Staff can scan a receipt to retrieve the original transaction and record the return against it, making refunds and size or colour exchanges easier to manage while maintaining a clear transaction history.
Customer History & Loyalty: Give store teams access to useful customer information and purchase history at the point of sale, helping them provide a more informed and personalised service. Futura also supports loyalty programmes, promotions and rewards to help retailers recognise and retain valuable customers.
Live Omnichannel Stock Visibility: Connect physical stores with ecommerce channels such as Shopify and maintain accurate stock information across your retail operation. Futura can also support store-based fulfilment, allowing suitable online orders to be picked from store stock and supporting services such as Click & Collect.
Reliable Offline Capability: Futura EPOS is locally installed, so stores retain access to the full product catalogue and core selling functions if connectivity is temporarily lost. Transactions can continue to be processed locally and sales data synchronises automatically once the connection is restored.

What Futura Fashion EPOS Delivers
Engage & Retain Your Shoppers
Building lasting relationships is an important part of fashion retail. Our fashion EPOS software allows store teams to capture customer details at the point of sale and access previous purchase information. This customer data can then support targeted marketing campaigns for upcoming seasonal drops, exclusive VIP events, and tailored promotions based on buying history.
Stay on Top of Sales & Stock Performance
Fashion trends move fast and you need to understand what is selling, where it is selling and what stock remains available. Futura provides detailed sales and stock reporting to help managers identify best and worst sellers, monitor performance, manage markdowns and make more informed buying and stock decisions.
A Unified Omnichannel Experience
Deliver the easy shopping experience modern consumers expect. Connect stores and ecommerce operations so customers have greater flexibility over how they shop. Futura supports services including Click & Collect, cross-channel returns and store-based fulfilment, while giving retailers visibility of stock across their operation. This helps make available stock more accessible to customers, wherever it is held.
Connected Retail Management Beyond the Till
Futura EPOS is not an isolated till system. It is part of the wider Futura Retail Management System, giving growing fashion retailers the tools to connect their stores with the rest of their retail operation without adding unnecessary complexity for store teams.
Fashion EPOS: Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fashion EPOS system, and how does it differ from a standard retail till?
A dedicated fashion EPOS system understands the relationship between styles, sizes and colours, making it easier to manage the large number of product variants common in clothing, footwear and accessories. Using a product matrix, store teams can quickly find different variants, check stock availability and process sales and exchanges.
Futura fashion EPOS combines this point-of-sale functionality with wider stock, customer, order and retail management tools, making it particularly suited to growing and multi-store fashion retailers.
Can Futura fashion EPOS manage size and colour variants?
Yes. Futura fashion EPOS is designed to manage products across different styles, sizes and colours. Store teams can view variants in a clear product matrix and see live stock availability across selected stores, making it easier to find the size or colour a customer wants without searching through individual product records.
Stock information across locations is continuously updated, giving store teams an up-to-date view of availability across the retail estate.
Can store staff check fashion stock in other stores?
Yes. Futura EPOS provides live stock visibility across branches, allowing store teams to check whether a particular style, size or colour is available at another location while serving the customer.
This cross-branch stock visibility helps fashion retailers make better use of available inventory and gives store teams the information they need to help customers find the products they want.
Does Futura integrate with online store platforms like Shopify?
Yes. Futura’s fashion point of sale integrates with eCommerce platforms including Shopify, connecting your physical stores with your online operation.
Product, stock, customer and order information can flow between the systems, helping fashion retailers maintain accurate stock availability and manage ecommerce orders alongside store operations.
Futura can also support store-based fulfilment, allowing suitable online orders to be fulfilled using store stock.
What happens to Futura EPOS if a store loses its internet connection?
Because Futura EPOS operates locally, stores retain access to the full product catalogue and core selling functionality if internet connectivity is temporarily lost. Transactions can continue to be processed locally and automatically synchronise with the central system when connectivity is restored.
How does Futura EPOS help manage high-volume fashion returns and exchanges securely?
Futura EPOS makes fashion returns and exchanges straightforward while helping retailers maintain control over the process. Staff can scan a digital e-receipt or standard till receipt to retrieve the original transaction and record the return against it, maintaining a clear link between the original sale and returned items.
This provides greater traceability around returns and helps store teams follow consistent processes when handling refunds or exchanges, including common fashion retail scenarios such as changing an item for a different size or colour.
Can Futura manage fashion promotions and seasonal markdowns?
Yes. Futura allows retailers to configure promotions centrally, including offers such as “buy one, get one half price” or multi-buy discounts. When sales start, seasonal markdowns apply automatically at the till, ensuring staff do not have to manually adjust prices or remember individual offers.
Can Futura show which fashion products are selling best?
Yes. Futura’s retail reporting tools provide detailed information about sales, stock and product performance. Fashion retailers can analyse performance by criteria including product group, brand and season to identify best and worst sellers, monitor margins and understand how individual product lines are performing.
This information can support replenishment, markdown and future buying decisions across the retail business.
Is Futura EPOS easy to learn for temporary or seasonal staff?
We know fashion retailers often rely on seasonal and part-time staff, so straightforward store processes are important. Futura EPOS uses clear buttons and logical workflows for everyday tasks such as processing sales, finding products and checking stock, helping new team members become familiar with the core till functions quickly.
Individual user logins and configurable access profiles also give retailers control over which functions each member of staff can use. Profiles can be set up for different job roles, such as temporary staff or store managers, helping restrict access to sensitive functions while giving employees the tools they need for their role.
Is Futura suitable for growing and multi-store fashion retailers?
Yes. Futura is designed for growing retailers that need to manage multiple stores alongside ecommerce and, where required, warehouse operations. Store teams use Futura EPOS for day-to-day point of sale, while the wider Futura Retail Management System connects stock, sales, customer, buying, order and reporting information across the business.
This makes Futura particularly suited to established fashion, footwear and lifestyle retailers that have outgrown simpler POS systems and need greater control and visibility without unnecessary enterprise-level complexity.
What implementation and ongoing technical support does Futura provide?
Futura provides implementation, configuration, data migration, staff training and ongoing support from our experienced UK-based team. We work closely with retailers during implementation and continue to support them as their business grows and evolves.
More than 90% of Futura customers have been with us for over 10 years, with many customer relationships extending beyond 20 years.
