Devlin Retail Systems

POS Interface




Ideal POS System’s easy to use POS interface is flexible and can be customized to suit your business. There are a number of ways to enter a sale with most retail businesses using barcode scanners to accurately record sales. You can also program items on the POS screen, scroll through alphabetical menus, type in a product code, browse through images of your products, or use the item search facility to search by description, scan code or product code. Function buttons that perform voids, no-sales, discounts, and refunds can be put in any position or moved to a separate menu layer so only authorized staff can access them.

Customer Database




Our software comes standard with a complete customer database to allow you to have various types of customers, including lay-by, account and loyalty customers. You can add new customers during a sale and enter their personal contact details including phone number, postal and delivery address, email, gender, birth month, company, occupation, martial status and much more. There are 15 user defined fields that can be used to store any information you like about your customers.

Lay-By's




A Lay-by message can be printed at the bottom of the receipt with terms and conditions, with a default maximum lay-by period and minimum deposit options. Customers can hold multiple lay-bys and pay them off separately or all together in one transaction. Ideal POS System records any items that are kept on lay-by as a separate stock level, so you can see what stock you have that can be sold, and what stock is held for lay-by customers.

Gift Vouchers




Gift Vouchers can be sold with the Euro value and name recorded within Ideal POS System. You can print reports to show both redeemed and unredeemed gift vouchers. The Gift Voucher number can be automatically generated, or you can enter a Gift Voucher number from a Gift Certificate or Card.

Credit Notes





If a Customer returns a product for a refund, you can issue a Credit Note instead of a cash refund. The credit amount and customer’s details are recorded within Ideal POS System. You can print reports to show both redeemed and unredeemed Credit Notes.

Customer Loyalty




Customers can be issued with a customer loyalty card with a barcode or magnetic strip to quickly recall their details during a sale. You can reward customers by offering points for particular items or on the total Euro value of the sale. Customers can redeem the points for items offered on promotion or used towards paying for their next transaction. You can send bulk emails to your customers by accessing the customer enquiry search facility.

Scales



Scales can be connected to your Ideal POS system so each weighed item can have its price per kilo pre-programmed, allowing accurate sales entry and speedy service. Items can be ticked as ‘scale items’ in the database, which matches the item to the weight from the scale. Ideal POS System supports most scales brands including Mettler Toledo, PSC, Digi, Tec, Cas, and Acom. Items that have already been weighed and labeled with the price can be scanned, with the ‘programmable barcode’ allowing for the retrieval of the price and the product code from the barcode number.

Promotions


Promotion Tables is a feature in the software that automatically applies a discount without the operator remembering to press a discount key at the end of the sale. A group of items (by department) or individual items are linked to a Promotion Table, so at the end of the sale, Ideal POS System will apply a discount to those items if the preset trip level has been reached; for example, your retail shop is offering a ‘buy 3 get 1 free’ promotion on a particular range of items. Promotion Tables supports four types of discounts: percentage discount, dollar discount, fixed price and bonus item.

CCTV Interface



Ideal POS System can be interfaced to several types of Digital Surveillance Security Camera Systems. As sales are keyed into POS, the text is overlaid on the camera footage to allow a business owner to compare the visual image to what is being entered at the POS. You can search for particular transactions like no-sales or voids to see if any money has been removed from the cash drawer and which operator performed the transaction.
