  • Un-resumed transaction report

  • Various discount percentages can be set for different groups of customers such as faculty, employees and alumni
  • Various discount percentages can be set for different categories of merchandise such as apparel, computers, trade, etc.

Customer Access Control

Simplify complicated transactions such as grants and department charges. Are some of your customers tax-exempt? Can department charges only be used for office supplies? Customer Access Control (CAC) helps establish group restrictions so your cashiers don't have to worry about it.
  • Inhibits the sale of certain classes or departments of merchandise to certain restricted groups such as
    • Students paying by scholarship
    • Faculty making department charges
    • Specific students or charge account groups
  • Sets taxability on a group by group basis for various categories of merchandise to allow for tax exemption

Intelligent Receipt Manager (IRM)

IRM gives you the ability to customize store receipts by printing a logo on them and by changing the trailer information based on the class of merchandise purchased. The system stores your logo based on the location of the POS terminal therefore auxiliary terminals such as tradebook terminals and computer store terminals can have different logos. You control the trailer information based on the type of merchandise in the transaction. For example, when you sell a new textbook the trailer can include the return and buyback policies. Other classes of merchandise, such as computer supplies or electronics would have a different trailer. Your store can create as many as 15 different trailer messages and associate them to a specific class of merchandise.

  • Increases customer satisfaction by including enhanced store policy descriptions on the receipt, including return, exchange, warranty, and buyback information.
  • Controls receipt paper use by printing only relevant information.
  • Gives you the ability to do in-house promotions based on the class of merchandise purchased, such as giving free coffee with the purchase of a trade book.
