Main Advantages Of A SoftRegister EPoS System
Efficiency = Reduced Costs = Better Profit
With a SoftRegister EPoS system, at the end of every day, week, month or a specific date range period you will have all the information you require such as:
√ Exactly what products have have been sold?
√ How much of the takings are actual profit?
√ How much has been collected in VAT and is owed to the taxman?
√ What products should be left in stock?
√ What products need to be re-ordered due to stock getting low?
Point Of Sale
Products are sold at the correct selling price by using barcodes allowing customers to be served more efficiently. An electronic journal also keeps track of every sales transaction, refund, discount etc made on the till by each cashier. With the option for integrated chip and pin, this will reduce "human error" as the cashier does not have to manually key in the sale value unlike the conventional stand alone chip and pin terminals, and the card transaction will also be processed within 5 seconds and does not require a dedicated phone line..
Reduce Theft & Stock Shrinkage
An EPoS system will encourage your staff to watch the stock in your shop more closely as they know it is being monitored by the EPoS system. You can perform random stock checks and compare the counted stock with the physical stock to show discrepencies.
Reduce Your Stock Holding
With sales and stock information on hand at the click of a button, the epos system will help you reduce stock holding for items that are not selling or do not need to have as much stock at a particular time of the year.
Correct Stock When It's Needed
The epos system will give you the information you require to help that you do not order too much or too little stock based on the same time period for the previous years sales.
Increase, Maintain And Watch Your Profit Margins
The product sales reports will give you the actual average profit margin and profit amount you have made on every item you have sold for the day, week, month, year or date range period. This will enable you to make sure you are not under pricing your products. (only available on the SoftRegister Pro version).
Customer Details
With some businesses it is very important to get your customers email, name and address details so that you can keep track of what your customers are purchasing and be able to create a mailshot to them for special offers etc. On average 80% of a businesses sales comes from 20% of its regular customers.

Serial Number Tracking & Warranty Expiry Dates
Products can be assigned to up to 4 different types of serial number tracking and can be given an "warranty period" in days.

If a serial tracked item is refunded, the till will ask for the serial number(s) to be scanned. The till will check the database for a record of the serial number(s) being sold and if found will display the date, time, branch, price of when the product was originally sold and when the warranty expires or if it has already expired. If a product is refunded and had multiple serial numbers, all serial numbers must match the database for when the product was sold. There is an option to override the refund of a serial tracked product if the serial number(s) cannot be found in the database. This would be where the item may have been sold previously to the SoftRegister system being installed.
