Retail Plus Lite

Retail Plus Lite is based on the same software as the full version but does not include invoicing, client database, supplier database or purchase orders. It does have an enhanced POS screen designed for even faster, easier checkouts. Its a good choice if you don't need to track customers and suppliers and will not be creating open invoices or layaways.

Here is a quick list of features. For more detail see below.

The Point Of Sale

The point of sale screen has the following features:

• Easy to learn - You do not have to send your staff out for expensive training.
• Easy to use - Requires minimum keystrokes and the mouse is never required (but you can use it if you want).
• Flexible - Handles any combination of discounts, taxes, returns, credits and sale specials in one easy transaction.
• Automatic - Applies automatic discounts or preferred price levels to special customers.
• Rewarding - Helps your staff to practice suggestion selling and tracks their sales commissions.
• Accommodating - If something is not in stock you can send a customer order to the purchase order system.
• Secure - You control who can see the profit margins and stock counts.
• Versatile - Prints sales slips, price quotes, packing slips and account invoices.
• Modern - Works with all the modern retail devices including bar code and credit card readers, customer display, cash drawer, barcoded scales, a two-color receipt printer and runs on any network.

The Retail Plus point of sale has evolved over a period of 15 years to offer a wide variety of options without putting clutter and complexity on the screen.

Inventory Control  

Good inventory control means balancing the expectations of your customers and your bankers, so you must avoid being either understocked or overstocked. Here are some inventory control features:

• Current - Get up-to-the-minute reports for sales & inventory.
• Precise - Support for portable stock counting devices.
• Focused - Options to focus any report on selected items or departments.

The inventory system includes a wide selection of processes from transferring stock to importing & exporting stock data. The system also uses the internet to transmit inventory adds & changes, sales logs and stock levels between stores or to and from head office.

Reports

Well designed reports can reveal some surprises about the nature of your business. Examples include:

• A selection of weekly, monthly and quarterly sales reports including top sellers.
• A selection of inventory reports including audit and shrinkage.
• Options to focus any report on selected items, department or code range.
• History of daily sales and POS totals.
• Option to subtotal reports by department.
• Catalog style output with product description, stock numbers, and prices.
• Export of sales data to a spreadsheet program for further analysis.

Convenience Features

The goal of retail management software is to let you concentrate on your sales and customers, not on your computer. The convenience features in Retail Plus are:

• Help screens free of computer jargon, available at the push of a button.
• Support for multiple locations - and stock transfers between locations.
• Sales tracking by product and department.
• Comparative sales histories.
• Multiple points-of-sale without a network.
• Import inventory from other databases.
• Store all data in a common file format for access by other programs.
• Stock code duplication check.

Security Features

Security refers to two different things:

1 - The ability to limit access to information or program functions. This is used to make sure that staff cannot make unauthorized transactions or see confidential information. Each employee is assigned a password to determine their access level.

    Some of the Retail Plus password features are:

• Passwords determine the functions a person can use.
• All sales transactions are logged with the date, time and name of the sales person.
• Optional requirement for a manager's password before the system will void a sale.
• A training mode, in which all POS functions can be used with password, but no data are saved.
• Password prompts that can be turned off. If you don't need passwords, you shouldn't be forced to use them.

2 - The ability to roll back (restore) your data to a previously saved version. This is used to undo the results of serious errors. For example, say you delete twenty invoices and then discover that they were the wrong twenty. Everyone who works with computers has days like that (bar none). An easy way out can avoid big headaches.

    The Retail Plus rollback features are:

• Selective roll back - the user can choose sales or inventory.
• Selective or batch backup - back up selected files or do them all in a at once.
• Automatic warning if your disk space runs low.
