Home/Datasym.POS BackOffice/Features

Features

· Global changes
· Multiple sales locations. Reports can focus on an individual location or be consolidated over all locations to give you a company wide analysis
· Built in data backups. Backup the database remotely.
· Transaction Server. Imports data from the POS in real-time giving up to the minute sales figures.
· System Link Module. A simple, but powerful set of technologies which enables developers to quickly develop an interface between Back Office and any external system.
· Scheduled Jobs. Schedule data changes and communications with your POS terminals using Windows scheduler.
· Centralised exception log for easy fault diagnosis by our support team.
· Customer Accounts
· Customer statements and transactions reports.
· SQL Server relational database system
· Integrated SAGE Line 50 link. Connects directly to Sage’s database to synchronise products, customers, customer sales and cash sales.
· Integrated Stockade link. Receives product data from Stockade and sends back sales and financial data. Back Office essentially behaves as a cash register plug-in in Stockade to provide a smooth upgrade path from Stockade 1 to the SQL versions. This allows Back Office to be rolled out in stages.
· BHT 8000 Hand Held device support. Price changes and price checking supported.
· Comprehensive user set-up. Allow your staff to only view, edit or have full access to data that you want them to. Users can also be limited to only work with certain POS locations. i.e. can change prices in shop A, but not shop B.
· Label printing and label templates. Print shelf edge or sales labels as and when you want.
· Enhanced security and database robustness.
· Remote database connectivity (TCP/IP). LAN, WAN and Internet.
· DPOS transaction log importing. This gives more reporting possibilities.
· Centralised POS Job log (stored in database).
· MDI document interface (i.e. multiple browser windows) and a fresh new look.
· Editable and customisable (user specific) browsers. Any field displayed in the browser can be used to order the list of records.
· Copy functions in all browsers. This copies the selected record in a browser to a new record.
· Enhanced edit screens. Each edit screen now has navigation capabilities within them to easily move between records. The user can also add new and delete records from with the edit screen without having to drop back to the browser.
· Sub Departments.
· Automatic program updates. Program files are stored in the database. When a user logs on the program checks for newer versions of files in the database and updates accordingly. This ensures all users are using the correct version of the program for the database.
· Enhanced report linking. Multiple reports can now be linked to 1 report type (e.g. Sales Report). At the time of taking the report (or refreshing) the user can choose the report file to use. The system remembers the user’s last report used as well. Reports are also stored in the database. This works in the same way as the program updates and ensures that users are always running the correct version of the report.
· Enhanced report settings. Report settings can now be changed in the report window without having to close the report and start again. All reports, where logical, have multiple selection capabilities (i.e. selected locations and groups in sales reports).
· New reports: Cashiers financial report and hourly sales report.
· Transaction Server tray application. This program sits in the background checking for transaction log files in a selected folder (usually C:\tillserver). Files are imported directly into the database giving an online real-time system.
· Enhanced PLU Updates section. PLUs are now flagged with an update type (i.e. price change, minor change, full change). Type of update can now be selected in the POS Job (i.e. only export price changes).
· Exception processing of transaction logs. When importing transaction logs, if the system cannot import the line (i.e. unknown record type or invalid field value) then it is stored in an exceptions file in the database. These exceptions can then be processed later.
· Alphanumeric PLU codes can now be used.
· Real-time sales screen. Configure 10 views of 4 panels to display sales data as it happens. 4 screens can be opened at once to give a total of 16 different sales windows. Choose to group data by POS Location, POS Terminal or Cashier. Display data as financials or hourly sales. Please note that Transaction Server needs to be configured and running for this to work.
· PLU Change Templates. Schedule price changes and PLU data changes.
· System Options - Sales Rollover Hour. Transactions recorded at the POS before this hour will be treated as the previous day's transactions.

· Email support from within the program any exceptions in the program for quick fault diagnosis by our support team.
· Active Users screen. See instantly who is currently logged on and from what computer.
· Auto EAN check digit calculations. This automatically appends the EAN check digit to a PLU code to provide trouble free scanning.
