Access accurate stock information in real-time and on the fly. Purchase orders, deliveries, inventory, and available items are all visible at the EPOS. The system has been designed for resiliency and to handle a surge in activity. It uses multiple database servers to distribute processing power as well as multiple database instances to assure simultaneous queries are handled quickly. As part of your requested solution, consider extending the solution to include inventory management functionality.Customer Specific Prices
"Customer Specific Prices" do just that, enabling staff to 'remember' a price paid for a product in the past. When a sale is completed, the software will automatically apply that price. If you have set criteria so that customers receive a discount on their payment, the system will calculate this for you as well.Time, Date and Sales Rep
The Time, Date and Sales Rep docket book means that when it comes to the end of a sale you are in a position to securely write the time, date and name of the sales rep on all of your hard copy paperwork. This includes any commission notes for admin purposes.Quick Find Customers

Our new system automatically alerts the sales staff when a customer is purchasing an item for which a quotation already exists. The quote number, customer details and quantity purchased is displayed on the screen of the terminal used by the salesperson, so that they can deal with any additional paperwork such as a VAT receipt etc. This helps to make sure that the sale is completed and reduces the administration involved in dealing with quotations.Customer Reference Number

Products can be routed based on the customer ID as well as invoicing, shipment notifications, and accounting entries will all have the customer ID to ensure accuracy.Multiple Delivery Addresses
