Sage 200 - Point of Sale
Sage 200 POS is an electronic point of sale (EPoS) system suitable for any business
that needs to conduct quick, accurate and secure transactions with its customers.
Sage POS software is specfically designed for businesses operating within a retail
or trade environment and handling customer-present transactions. Typical businesses
already deploying Sage POS software include retailers, wholesalers, telesales operations,
catering outlets, leisure centres and visitor attractions.
Packed with Functionality - Sage Point of Sale is an electronic
point of sale system that’s packed with functionality and easy to use. It plays
an active part in increasing customer satisfaction by performing quick, accurate
and secure transactions. There’s no need to keep your customers waiting; they can
pay by cash, cheque, on account, voucher, etc. in part or full payment, and use
a mix of payment methods or currencies to settle a transaction. The software handles
electronic funds transfer; prints cheques; provides clear, itemised receipts; and
manages exchanges and refunds. It supports gift card loyalty schemes and can also
capture customers’ postcodes. Items can be quickly corrected, removed and edited
within a transaction. All transactions can be printed and stored in case of subsequent
queries.
Works the way your business does - Sage Point of Sale easily adapts
to the way you operate your day-to-day business. It can be customised to reflect
your unique processes and adopts the terminology and look and feel you require..
Configurable display - The operator touch-screen can be tailored
to make the system easier to use, reducing staff training overheads and minimising
operator errors. So you can colour code similar functions eg. Voids and corrections
could be red; category and product buttons can be grouped and arranged for maximum
eficiency.
Customisation by Sector - Customisation by sector The screen can be
customised to reflect the characteristics of a multitude of speciic retail types,
making it work the way you need to operate. So a point of sale at a visitor attraction
can prompt for and record a Gift Aid donation. Alternatively, a point of sale at
a paint shop offering a colour match service can prompt the operator for the details
of the tint used in the paint mix process.
Promotional support - To promote sales you can apply discounts
at product level and transaction level, as you wish. This supports promotions and
multi-buys such as 3 for 2, and buy 1 get 1 free; thereby delivering flexibility
and customer service, whilst reducing operator intervention by automating the process.
Full details are recorded on the receipt, reinforcing the value for money message.
Multiple payment methods - Sage Point of Sale offers flexibility to
the customer by supporting a mix of payment methods that may be used to settle a
transaction. Customers can pay with a mixture of vouchers and cash, credit card,
etc. All credit/debit card payments can be processed via integration with major
card clearing systems for fast and secure processing.
Operator security levels - Each operator can be allocated a unique
ID and access levels, allowing them to operate within pre-defined parameters. This
provides you with the peace of mind that the system has the necessary security and
business control whilst enabling tracking and reporting per operator. Security levels
means that junior staff can be restricted to certain transactions, leaving more
sensitive transactions, such as refunds, to be authorised and actioned by supervisors.
Customer flexibility - Sage Point of Sale fully supports layaways,
to help staff provide seamless service during transactions e.g. where customers
add items or change their minds. Where a point of sale is set so that staff cannot
void transactions, they can lay the transaction away for later recall and void by
the manager.
Electronic auditing and trading - All customer transactions are recorded
electronically, removing the need for paper journal rolls and providing a paperless
history and audit of transactions. The software provides the ability to easily drill-down
to investigate queries such as no-sale transactions and discounts. Sage Point of
Sale will automatically recover transactions in the rare event of a power failure
or other outage.
Flexible product entry and searching - Flexible product entry means
staff can type directly onto the keyboard, scan bar codes, press pre-set keys or
touch the appropriate key on-screen, as you prefer. When looking for a product in
the system, an operator can search by category, group, partial code, partial description
and key words. We’ve made it as easy as possible for operators to locate products.
For example, an operator in a stationers can locate a speciic product such as coloured
paper by entering the word ‘blue’ into the product search function.
Chip and PIN compatibility - If a retailer does not have a chip and
PIN acceptance device and the use of such a device could have prevented the fraud
from occurring, the retailer may bear the cost of a fraudulent transaction. Sage
Point of Sale is compatible with Chip and PIN devices to provide you with additional
security for debit and credit card transactions. Using Chip and PIN also ensures
the liability for any bad debts passes from you, to the card holder’s bank.
Reporting - Each point of sale can produce end of day/end of session
reports providing a summary of takings, category sales, time analysis, operator
activity and promotions applied. This assists with end of day reconciliation and
provides detailed analysis of the day’s takings. You can even run a Proit & Loss
report on an individual point of sale, location, activity or product type.
Secure, continuous operation - Integration with electronic funds transfer
solutions delivers fast and secure processing of customer card payments. Password-protected
user access and authorisation levels for different transactions support your own
security procedures to help safeguard your business.
Continuous trading and auto-recovery are vital to your business.
You must be able to trade in the unlikely event that the link to the back ofice
is lost. After a power failure, your Sage Point of Sale will recover and display
the transaction at the point of failure, once the power is restored.
Sage 200 - Point of Sale - Trade Counter Support
In-built trade counter capability means customer-speciic pricing, such as trade
or public pricing, can be applied, eliminating the need for dedicated terminals.
The information is shared from the sales ledger and pricing matrices in the back
ofice software. This enables, for example, a timber merchant selling to trade and
public to conduct all payment transactions on all points of sale.
