Touch Tills

The use of tills to serve customers quickly and efficiently with promotional offers and payment by credit card is only part of the epos package. It is all about having the right items on sale and then clearing as many as possible before the season finishes and good labelling is essential especially on outdoor ranges. It is the use of the information that these tills collect that is the key so we offer a large enquiries and reporting pack. The use of promotions to encourage sales and clear stock is a vital tool as is customer loyalty. The real time data gives you time to respond to changes in sales trend and therefore the best return off a reduced working stock level.

The Epos Systems for Garden Centres and Nurseries............Profitable Epos made simple

Epos tills capture the sales information to ensure you make better decisions. The tills need to be resilient and so each till carries a copy of the product range and pricing. New lines, product changes and other alterations get merged in seamlessly during the trading day without operator involvement. There are also shared functions like customer accounts, layaways and Q busting. The tills can perform promotion calculations that help sell more product. Due for the potential of theft and operator collusion, all activities have stringent security tests and back office reporting There are a number of different ways to tender cash, credit cards, cheques, vouchers, credit notes. Finished sales get sent up to the main database to downgrade stock and increase sales every few seconds so real time. The whole till activity is controlled by till produced readings of sales totals and funds declaration

Restaurant and kitchen

You can pick meal or drinks choices from all the buttons displayed. Customers can choose from the options offered with the meal like vegetables or extras. The meals get printed out in the kitchen where they are controlled on the serving of the tables and over time tables are highlighted.

Till Tendering

The payment or tendering at the completion of a sales allows for multiple payment methods. You can offer mixed payment types using cash, credit card , cheque, account, credit note or vouchers. For security reasons some advanced features will need to be run under supervisor control. Typical of this would sales refunds or cash drawer related like no sales or cash lifts. The system will also provide all end of day readings and group sales readouts.

Till Promotions

Promotions are the best tool for encouraging sales and clearing stock. The computer can perform far more complex tests to determine if special prices or discounts apply. All the operator has to do is scan the products. Their effectiveness can be measured by recording these sales and reporting on them and this also acts a prompt to do the same next year at the same time. The different promotions are, multi buys, mix and match, link sales, cheapest free, kits of items, and supplier vouchers.

Accounts and deliveries

Where you have regular customers it makes sense to record there details of address, delivery instructions on file . The use of a postcode CD can help where this is only a temporary customer. The account can be issued a card and sales directly traced back to them. It encourages customers to buy more and they can become part of either discount clubs where different discounts are offered on selected groups. Alternatively you may want to set up a loyalty scheme of your own voucher rewards.
