Cosmetics & Beauty Retail

Sell more shades. Waste less stock.

BigPlus is the all-in-one POS and retail management platform built for cosmetics and beauty retailers — from indie boutiques to multi-location chains.

BigPlus Cosmetics Retail POS
The Problem

Generic software can't handle beauty retail.

Hundreds of shades, expiry-sensitive stock, loyal clients, and commission-based staff — most POS systems weren't designed for any of this.

47+

SKUs per product line

Foundation alone comes in 47 shades. Managing variants across dozens of brands overwhelms generic systems — leading to stockouts on bestsellers and dead stock on slow movers.

30%

of cosmetics stock expires unsold

Without expiry date tracking, beauty retailers write off thousands in expired product every year. Most POS systems don't flag ageing stock before it becomes a loss.

more spend from loyal beauty clients

Repeat clients drive beauty retail — but without client profiles and loyalty tools, you can't identify who they are or bring them back in.

68%

of owners can't track performance in real time

Without live reporting by brand, staff, and SKU, beauty store owners make gut-feel decisions. BigPlus gives you the data to act on what's actually working.
