If they want advanced features they have to pay for to avail those extra benefits. Besides that, they have to pay charges on the monthly or yearly basis to use the software3. Though the charges they have to pay is quite high compared to the other retail software or Vend software, they can be assured that their productivity will get increased and they can get long-term benefits.Drawbacks of Vend softwareVend has multiple drawbacks, it cannot handle cash account; data reporting is not possible via Vend software. The inventory request cannot be sent to the suppliers, there are no employee management functionalities, the software processes sales if the item is not available in the stock.Investigative TechniqueThe hypothesis will be proved with the aid of the survey and literature review.
