IPOS has added a new site in the North East of England to the growing number of IPOS RS Software installations to the convenience store market.

IPOS RS Software ticked all the boxes to provide an off the shelf solution for EPOS and stock control.The software was also customised to provide reports to make the buying process simple. The stock order reports have been customised so that Will Render the owner of the business can visit his supplier with the product order list tailored so that he can walk round the cash &carry wholesaler in the exact sequence as he buys the products.

The store needed two compact pos terminals as selling space is always at a premium which was achieved with the Tysso 5715integrated POS terminal. The Tysso 5715 touch screen terminal is an All-in-one design and was configured with an integrated VFD customer display. The Tysso 5715 terminal also uses the latest ultra low voltage computer processor which keeps down the power consumption. Together with the fast Tysso thermal receipt printer and cash drawer makes a robust, compact solution.

Will also chose the Zebex 6070 omnidirectional laser scanner to ensure that customers are served quickly and efficiently at the point of sale. The Zebex 6070 laser scanner has achieved an Internationally recognised design award for its performance and reliability and has a great price/ performance ratio when compared with other leading brand names

Harrogate Tourist Information Centres upgrade EPOS system with Chip&pin

International POS Ltd (IPOS) have successfully completed a project to install a new chip&pin solution for Harrogate Tourist Information Centre’s(TIC’s) along with Poswyse multi branch stock control software for the Knaresborough, Ripon and Pateley Bridge sites.

The project started with the installation of the Poswyse stock control module with extra stock locations at the Harrogate head office to accommodate the other three TIC sites.

Ian Cannings of EFT-POS.com, an IPOS partner provided consultancy services to Harrogate TIC’s regarding the choice of the chip&pin solution. This was necessary as Harrogate Council are becoming part of the Government Secure Network. This means that no communication (SSL) or otherwise can go directly out from their site to the internet. A solution was recommended which uses the vx510 chip &pin terminals so they could place these in a DMZ network which can do TCP connects out to the outside world. The POS terminals then remain on the internal protected network and connect to the vx510 to send the value/purchase etc and the vx510s communicate out from there.

The chip&pin solution was first tested by Harrogate TIC and as that proved to be a success the installation of Poswyse Software and the Vx510 terminals were then implemented into the Knaresbourough, Ripon and Pateley Bridge sites.

Poswyse software was able to run on existing computers and with the addition of a Tysso PRP-080 receipt printer, cash drawer and Zebex bar code scanner provided a simple cost effective EPOS solution.

IPOS listed on Approved index for an EPOS System quote

To help retailers get a quotation for a new POS system IPOS are now listed on Approved Index.

IPOS may provide complete touch screen till systems with a lease finance rental agreement which is a tax efficient way of investing in a new EPOS Solution to help manage your business.

A reliable and sophisticated POS (Point of Sale) system or EPOS (Electronic Point of Sale) system is essential for any sort of retail business and has many advantages over the conventional cash register. The moment a buyer reaches the cash register is the most critical point of the sale, and you don’t want anything to hinder the transaction or frustrate the customer. And obviously you want a POS system that will correctly calculate the till’s ingoings and outgoings, so your books balance at the end of the day.

A complete POS system consists of both hardware and software – the cash register and credit card processing system, and the electronic software that controls it. POS software allows you to monitor the day’s sales and collect the data on a computer for analysis. This ability to analyse and produce reports on your cash flow is the real selling point of a POS system, which is why they are generally an investment for large, high revenue businesses. Other benefits include:

· Correct pricing of items. All of your stock is inventoried in the POS system, so employees do not need to enter the price manually.

· Less chance of employee misuse, since all activity is monitored.

· Reduced paperwork, since all data is recorded electronically by the POS software.

IPOS will be able to install the POS terminal, computer hardware and the accompanying software. Even if you already have a compatible PC, you may want to buy a new system since this makes it easier for us when it comes to maintenance. IPOS will also offer a quick training course so your employees can start using their new POS system as soon as possible.

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home install new EPOS system

The renowned Battersea Dogs & Cats Home was established in 1860 and over the last 150 years has seen a lot of changes in its organisation.

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home is currently made up of three centres - the central London site at Battersea, at Old Windsor in Berkshire and at Brands Hatch in Kent.

All three operate in the same way - taking in and caring for lost and abandoned animals and re homing dogs and cats, as well as providing veterinary and behaviour care. They also have retail shops on each site offering a wide variety of pet care products.

Like many retailers Battersea were in a dilemma who having already invested in an EPOS system for there three retail sites, the existing EPOS software supplier had gone out of business. They also felt trapped with outdated, proprietary point-of-sale (POS) systems that bind them to yesterday’s technology.

International POS Ltd (IPOS) came up with an innovative, cost effective solution by upgrading the existing POS terminals with IPOS TM 150 Touch screens to provide the benefits of the very latest touch screen technology.

IPOS also recommended using the latest Tysso 7000 All-in-one touch screen POS terminals to provide a mobile EPOS system when Battersea visit exhibitions and events.

Tysso 7000 POS TERMINAL

The first stage of the project needed to be completed quickly as Battersea Dogs Home were attending the Crufts Dog Show at the NEC at the beginning of March 2009.
The Tysso 7000 pos terminals were configured with Poswsye software to operate stand alone and capture the sales data when being used at Crufts. When the pos terminals returned to Battersea the sales data was retrieved for analysis.
The next stage was to install the Poswyse Software Head office system at Battersea headquarters and upgrade the POS systems at the Battersea retail shop. This was accomplished by having two teams installing the Poswyse head office software and retail shop pos terminals simultaneously which meant the implementation was completed in the same day including training with the minimum of disruption.
The Old Windsor and Brands Hatch sites POS systems were also upgraded with touch screens and using Poswyse software were connected to provide stock control across all three sites.
