Epos Explained

The benefits of installing an Electronic Point Of Sale System come from a number of areas, which vastly improve a shop's efficiency and profitability

Bar Code Scanning - items are always sold at the correct price
Immediate price changing when cost price increases means that stock profit is achieved on existing stock
EPoS reporting highlights items achieving low margin - items can either be de-listed or have their price increased

Reduction in overall value of stock carried - stock is only ordered to replenish sales
Suggested re-order reporting based on rate of sales, lead time, pack size etc leading to less or no out of stocks
Perpetual Stock Inventory - highlights stock losses down to individual item level

Using EPoS ensures that the retailer has the right stock on the right shelf, at the right price at the right time.

Bar Code Scanning - eliminates under-ringing
Deters staff theft
Bar Code Scanning and regular Stock Checking - identifies problem areas item by item

Eliminates individual price labelling - shelf edge labels inform the customer of selling prices
On-line ordering with main suppliers from a computer generated order saves time
Facility for Sales and Stock analysis reporting provides useful and timely management information
Bar Code Scanning - staff do not need to remember prices
EPoS helps spot sales trends - ensures that stock is available
