Features Include:

• Retailers increase your capacity - Check out more customers faster! Happy customers frequent your stores often. UPOS speeds up the checkout process by utilizing Bar Code Entry and in most cases single keystroke changes for a fast, optimized, and easy Ticket Entry process.

• Take Control of your Inventory! UPOS provides real time inventory updating which gives you up to the minute inventory control. UPOS warns when inventory items are low, suggests what needs to be reordered and also provide sales analysis information to track trends and seasonal information to effectively stock items when they are in demand.

• Eliminate Redundancy and Repetitive Transaction Entries! UPOS integrates the Cash Register with BackOffice Accounting and Real Time Credit Card processing thus eliminating errors because the transaction has to be entered up to (3) times: (Redundancy Sample Below)
  1. The sale is entered on the cash register by the clerk. For Example, a sale for 1000.00
  2. Customer presents payment with a credit card. The clerk then reenters the the 1000.00 sale on the credit card bank terminal for approval. A typical problem is the clerk inadvertently leaves off a 0 and the bank approves the transaction for 100.00 instead of the 1000.00. You as a merchant may have possibly loss 900.00 on this sale, possibly even more.
  3. This same transaction is now entered into the Back Office Accounting system for bookkeeping purposes. Again, this is another opportunity for numbers to get transposed or other errors.

  With UPOS these (3) steps are integrated into (1) transaction entry.

  • The clerk rings up the sale at the UPOS workstation and chooses credit card as the payment tender type.
  • The system will automatically dial out for credit card approval without any reentering of amounts by the clerk.
  • Once the transaction is approved and completed, Inventory is updated accordingly, as well as the Back Office Accounting for financial reporting. Again without any reentry by the clerk or the bookkeeper.

  UPOS not only handles the sale transaction, it also facilitates the credit card approval and the backoffice accounting General Ledger entry all with one step.

• UPOS always knows the correct sale prices of items! Special or "On Sale" pricing is date sensitive for items. This allows items to go on sale automatically at a predefined date and automatically go off sale and back to their regular price as defined without operator entry. The correct price rings up at the register consistently with UPOS.

• UPOS provides information for Frequency Programs! UPOS can keep up with customer purchases to allow the implementation of a Frequent Buyer program which creates consistent patronizing of your store. Customers are awarded accordingly i.e. gifts, coupons, discounts, etc. This concept is being used broadly to promote customer loyalty and buying frequency.

• UPOS is a Tool for Marketing and Increasing Sales! UPOS provides clerks with information on the screen that prompt the clerk to suggest to the customer additional items that complement, go with, or work well with, the items the customer is already purchasing.This is called the suggested "add-on" feature of UPOS. This turns your clerk into a salesperson and increases sales and customer service. Customers appreciate clerks taking a personal interest in them by making additional item suggestions. Some customers will thank you for reminding them to get the item if they had forgotten it. Others will be grateful to get someone elses opinion for example a way to enhance a certain outfit. Still other customers may not know everything they need for a complete setup. For example a camera purchase, may prompt the clerk to suggest film, batteries, tripod, upgraded carry case, etc.

• UPOS keeps the line moving! No more line stoppage because of price checks or customer leaving the line to add additional items or "wallet in car". UPOS has a Ticket Hold feature that allows a transaction in progress to be placed on hold. Other customers can then be checked out. When the held ticket customer returns his transaction can be resumed from the point it was left.

• Great Customer Service! With UPOS, returns and purchases can be handled on the same ticket.

• Instantly turn a POS ticket into an house account invoice!

• Efficiently handle layaways and down payments from the check out counter!

• Serialized Items or Lot Numbers! UPOS can track both.

• Full Touch Screen support
