MORE Point of Sale  KEY FEATURES …!

n      The sophisticated layaway and special orders module is a big selling point.  All payments on layaways and special orders are neatly organized and accessible with a simple name and/ or phone number lookup.

n      Change Your Receipt Type from a Sale to a Layaway or Special Order and back again, if needed on the fly.

n      Put one or more transactions on open (all day long) and process other customers. This is a great feature for gun ranges where customers may be shooting for hours and need to keep adding items to their receipt.

n      Add Inventory on the fly (security driven)

n      Change item price on the fly (security driven)

n      Give line item discounts and receipt discounts

n      Override security to grant temporary access to all functionality , when exceptions arise

n      Optionally put customer name on receipt or leave it blank

n      Supports Tax Exempt Purchases

n      Multiple Payment Lines on the Same Receipt using the same or different tender types  (great when 2 or more people want to split the bill but all want to pay with cash, or credit card, for example. )

n      Item Description and Part Number appear on screen.  This helps the cashier further identify the item being purchased and reduce the incidence of intentional and unintentional ticket swapping.

n      Receipt Totals are broken out by subtotal taxed and untaxed which reduces confusion on Receipt Totals

n      Shipping and Handling, Restocking and Misc. Fees can easily be added to the receipt during a sale using Add Fees button. 

n      Extensive Use of the “F1 – F12” buttons to expedite data entry

n      Voided Sales are tracked by the System and Cashier is Required to input a Void Reason.  Numerous voids may signal a cashier that needs more training!

n      Receipts can be printed in two formats!  Extended receipt with description, optional serial number, payment history, and customer name is available and quite suited to serialized transactions, sales of consigned items, and to any retailer wanting to offer its customers a detailed receipt.  Standard, concise receipts printed via a thermal printer are also available.  This is more suited to retailers that do not sell serialized merchandise.  However, the system can print either/or depending upon the user’s requests.  You may want to print the small receipts for normal sales and the large receipts for layaways and serialized sales. 

n      Keeps track of Cash in and out of the Drawer.

n      Processes Refunds with receipts by accessing the old receipt in the system, and letting you select from the old receipt what needs to be returned.  The price paid by the customer at time of purchase is transferred to the new refund receipt.  The customer is then refunded what he or she paid.  The customer doesn’t even need to bring in their old receipt!  The system can access that customer’s old receipts using their name! 

n      An unobtrusive running total lets you know your up-to-the-minute sales for the day without displaying it to your customer’s.  This is a security-driven feature!
