The Choise Store back office system is designed for shops of all sizes. It will assist in maintaining the correct pricing structure, retaining adequate stock levels, producing end of day reports and producing daily/weekly sales reports.  The system is designed to run in parallel with the In-Tech IPoS Tilling System, but it can also interface with a variety of third party systems. A sub-system is available that uses Radio Frequency Hand Held Terminals to assist shop floor activities.

 

Processing Batches

This procedure receives updates from the central system containing new products, price changes, product changes and new/amended offers.  Batch lists and labels are produced and batches are released ready to be applied overnight for next day changes. Batches can be applied manually if the change is immediate. Also, manual batches can be created at store when required.

Enquiries

Enquiry facilities exist at system level for control, calendar and audit trail purposes. Various enquiries exist within the product, stock and purchase ordering modules and these use various search engines to access required information.

Stock Control

Through the auto-stock replenishment system, orders can be automatically generated for specified suppliers based on previous sales and current stock levels, thus maintaining adequate stock levels at store.

Purchase Ordering

Orders generated from the auto-stock replenishment system or created manually are viewed/confirmed/receipted/reported in this module.

On-Line Reports

Department, Financial and Hourly Reports can be run at any time retrieving information from all or specific tills.  Also on-line enquiries can be made for customer queries against till receipts.
