For most retail industries, incorporating an efficient point of sales system is an integral part of the business. There are many existing POS vendors in the market selling outdated DOS or UNIX software applications or “pseudo” Windows programs.
Sinfosys Technology will be able to provide a true Windows-based system running on Apache Web Server and mySQL Server which are freeware, fast and reliable.
Using a true client-server architecture, Sinfosys POS Solution leverages on the latest Windows technology, and can be easily scaled to bigger systems with the .Net architecture. The client-server approach is secure, recoverable and fast. The highly scalable system has a built-in database replication tool, to ensure data integrity.
Security and back-up of the data is also a key consideration in the design of the system. A multi-user system requires a comprehensive security access control, and multiple levels of authorization and security will be provided. The user accessing the machines to generate receipts on the POS will be clocked in and out, and the activity on the POS will be monitored.
The POS System supports Multiple Branches; at the end of each day, the daily sales report are exported to the Main or Head Branch or Office.
Functionalities of the point of sales system include:
- Multiple levels of member discount (eg. VIP Silver, VIP Gold)
- Multiple modes of payment (eg. Cash/Nets with Gift Certificates/Vouchers)
- Exchanging of items
- Voiding of receiptso Holding of receipts
- Logging of system for security reasons
- Monitoring of cashier activities
- Cash drawer balancing
- Generating closing reports
A sales analysis module will be integrated with the POS system, providing users with a comprehensive reporting tool to generate up-to-date sales reports easily. This allows the management to monitor sales and the health of the business. Some of the sales analysis reports that can be generated include:
- Daily / weekly / monthly sales report
- Hourly sales report
- Sales report by product categorization
- Division/department sales report
- Individual Sales Person report and commission
Generation of other specific reports that are useful for accounting and management review purposes include:
