InfoTouch Specialty Store System
Inventory
InfoTouch Specialty Retail™ software allows you to control, track and manage your inventory electronically in real-time. More theft happens in retail stores internally from employees than from customers. Take away the opportunity by tracking your inventory with our state-of-the-art system. This module is the core of the POS application. The system updates quantities on hand for each inventory record in real-time. Additionally, each item can have a retail price plus 9 additional price levels and be sourced from up to 10 different vendors. You can maintain a wide array of sophisticated pricing rules — Buy 1 Get 1 50% off, Get 25% Off with the purchase of 3 or more Items, etc. Substitution and Suggestive Selling as well as Open to Buy for departmental budget tracking and reporting are standard features. Bar code label printing functionality is available to print Price Labels, Shelf Tags, and Price labels for items received directly or from receiving a Purchase Order.
Layaway Function is Standard at the POS
Our software supports Layaway purchases, including specifying a minimum deposit amount and payment schedule. The payment schedule is stored with the layaway so changes do not effect outstanding layaway transactions. Layaway statements are included with every platform as a standard feature.
Manage, Adjust or Delete Inventory w/Audit Reports
Our software has an Inventory Quantity Adjustment feature to remove items from stock. You can pre-define up to 20 reasons why the items are being removed or enter a free form reason. All adjustments to inventory quantities are tracked and can be reported on using the Inventory Quantity Audit Trail report. Options include a selectable range of items to report on as well as a selectable date/time range. The report shows all adjusted items including the reason, quantity, and value at average cost at the time adjusted.
Touch Screen Register
It's proven that your employees will be trained faster and have fewer mistakes with a touch screen register. InfoTouch Gift Store™ graphical user interface is fast, easy to learn and use, and helps cashiers ring up items quickly and more accurately than keyboard-based systems. You can sell service items by touching buttons and products by scanning or looking them up by description. Full customer sales history is available to every employee to help with suggestions for additional sales and gift buyers. Have even the newest employee get to know your clientele faster with the sales history and personal notes left by other employees. Many other services are available at the POS register and can be accessed right in the middle of a sale! PCI compliant payment processing, including credit/debit/gift cards is a standard feature. Additional features include incredibly easy cash draw reconciliation, an integrated loyalty program, real time inventory tracking, and the ability to special order for customers with unique task requirements.
Purchase Orders
Save money and time by tracking and managing your purchasing. Integrated with the Inventory module, purchase orders can be created automatically using the Min/Max/Reorder quantity scheme. Additional criteria for generating purchase orders automatically include specifying your preferred vendor, the vendor with the lowest cost, or the vendor with the fastest delivery time. If you create purchase orders manually, you can view a 14 month Sales History of each item being ordered or all items supplied by the vendor. You can also use hand-held devices for Receiving and Receiving by Exception.
Reports
Know what profit you made and what sold in real-time. Standard reports show your daily margins on sales, services, specials, and what merchandise in your store is making you money. Easily find out how many times does your inventory turn, who are your most profitable employees, and what products are giving you the best return on your investment. Run our reports to get real insight into your store’s trends and profit centers. You have access to an enormous amount of detailed information with the 100+ reports that are standard with the system. Most reports have multiple search and sort criteria giving you maximum flexibility in analyzing your operations. All reports come with the option of viewing to screen, printing, or saving as a file for export to other applications. In addition, InfoTouch Gift Store™ comes with extensive documentation and integrated help system.
Customers
Give your customers more of what they want and maximize your sales and your profits! The InfoTouch Gift Store™ gives you vital information for every customer. View their sales history, integrated loyalty program, Accounts Receivable system, and frequent shopper pricing to maximize sales. Use the Reports section of this module to print customer mailing labels based on shopping activity or inactivity. You can also use customer shopping and ordering patterns to generate low cost email campaigns to your customers to help you sell slower moving products for improved ROI. Also use email blasts to promote new product arrivals and promotions.
Example: Use a unique email blast to promote special sales or to increase your sales on your slowest day of the week by offering an email special or a free additional promotional item with any purchase that day. Provide your contractors a discount to help you move overstock inventory for a limited time or with a email coupon to effectively market and manage your cash flow.
Employees
One of the largest costs for most retail locations is the employees. Time management and scheduling employee’s during the high traffic times and adjusting for trends is crucial in successfully containing costs and increasing cash flow. Time and attendance records of all employees and gross wage calculations are at the center of the Employee Module. All employees can clock in/clock out through any register in the system while managers can monitor and adjust these ‘punches’ accordingly. In addition to hourly and salaried wage rates, the system calculates individual or group commission plans, bonuses, contests, and spiffs by employee. Employee shift scheduling is also available.
