Products and stock

One product file, every counter

Products, prices, offers and restrictions are held once and read by every lane. Change a price in the morning and the estate is selling at it, without visiting a single till.

In detail

What you get

Product maintenance

Codes, descriptions, prices, departments and tax treatment, maintained from the back office.

Product images

Pictures held against products for lookup screens and self-checkout, so unbarcoded goods can be found by sight.

Departments and hierarchy

Products grouped for reporting, with parent and child relationships for variants such as size or style.

Promotions

Offers defined centrally against products or departments and applied automatically at the point of sale.

Suppliers and deliveries

Supplier records, goods received and stock lines, so what arrived is reconciled against what was ordered.

Stock movement

Sales, returns, wastage and adjustments recorded as they happen rather than counted back afterwards.

How it runs

Step by step

  1. Maintain Products and prices are set up and amended in the back office.
  2. Distribute Lanes pick up the current product file — no per-till configuration.
  3. Sell Trading generates stock movements against the product record.
  4. Report Sales and movement are available for reporting and replenishment.
