Standard Modules

Register

The graphical user interface at the POS is second to none and helps cashiers ring up items quickly and more accurately than keyboard-based peers. You can ring up items via four methods: scanning, UPC/SKU number entry, item button entry, and by description or a ‘wildcard’ search. Full Customer Sales history is available at the POS, and unique transactions like Layaways, Quotes, Special Orders and Suspend/Resume are a standard part of this module. Additional features include Gift Certificate tracking, up to 16 different tax categories, a Bad/Negative Check file, Age Verification, currency conversion, and the ability to handle integrated credit cards and check verification.

 

Inventory

This module is the core of the Store Manager ES application. The system updates quantities on hand for each inventory record in real-time. Additionally, each item can have a retail price plus 9 additional price levels and be sourced from up to 10 different vendors. You can maintain serialized inventory as well as a wide array of sophisticated pricing rules — such as Quantity unit pricing, Fractional Quantities, Buy 1 Get 1 Free, Case Pricing, 50% Off after 10 Items, etc. Additional functionality includes Kit/Explosion sales and tracking, a printable Notes field, Substitution and Suggestive Selling, Alternate Keys, and Open to Buy for departmental budget tracking and reporting. Some label printing functionality is available to print UPC Price Labels, Shelf Tags, and Received Item Price labels. Store Manager ES also supports the sale of items by weight and Food Stamps.

 

Customers

Sales history, Accounts Receivable, loyalty/frequent shopper pricing, and purchasing trends are available within this module. You can also customize categories to use for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) program. The Accounts Receivable functionality can print detailed customer statements, and you can use the Reports section of this module to print customer mailing labels based on shopping activity or inactivity.  You can also use shopping patterns to generate email campaigns.

 

Employees

Time and attendance and gross wage calculations are at the center of the Employee Module. All employees can time in/time out through any register in the system while managers can monitor and adjust these ‘punches’ accordingly. In addition to hourly and salaried wage rates, the system calculates individual or group commission plans, individual or group bonuses, contests, and spiffs by employee. Employee shift scheduling is also available.

 

Purchase Orders

Integrated with the Inventory module, purchase orders can be created automatically using the Min/Max/Reorder quantity scheme or by using criteria such as a preferred or specific vendor, lowest cost or fastest delivery time. You can also use handheld devices for Receiving, Receiving by Exception, and Backordering inventory.

 

Reports

You have access to an enormous amount of detailed information with the 100+ reports that are standard with the system. Most reports have multiple search and sort criteria giving you maximum flexibility in analyzing your operations. All reports come with the option of viewing on screen, printing, or saving as an electronic file for export to other applications. In addition, the Store Manager ES application comes with extensive documentation and integrated online help
