Rocket� POS products offer advanced features because they are designed to run in the 32-bit Windows 98/NT/2000/XP environment. Many of these features are found only on more expensive Point of Sale systems.
There are three types of selling screens to accommodate the hardware requirements of the user. This allows the retailer to customize the software and makes for easier operation by clerks. With these built-in features it makes the software very flexible for upgrades by the retailer. The retailer may choose from the Standard Personal Computer, an Integrated System like the IBM SureOne or SurePos Series, Posiflex PST Series, or a special programmable keyboard. In addition, you may choose a Touch Screen product like the IBM SurePos Series or the Posiflex TP-6000.
The Visual Product Identification displays a photo ID of the product being sold. This will protect the retailer from customers switching bar code labels or tags on high value products.Another great benefit of this feature is when an item is lacking a bar code, identifying the product will be quick and easy.
Optional fully automatic credit card processing available. You have the option with staying with your current processor and bank. This option requires a modem and card reader.Credit card processing can also be done over the Internet to get blazing 5-second approval time.
The Customer Set-Up screen allows you to set up variable information such as price levels, sales tax, percentage discounts, customer type, credit card information, pop-up message when selling to a particular customer and other data. This is one of several screens dealing with customer information and data.
The Customer History screen allows you to look back at the purchase history of a customer, enabling you to check back on previous orders for pricing, purchase date, quantities, product number, invoice number and other information.
This inventory screen allows you to set up items that have the same bar code but are sold in varying quantities (UNITS OF MEASURE). A good example is soda - there is one bar code on the can that is the same for six packs, twelve packs, and 24-unit case. When you scan an item of this type a window pops up and asks the clerk to identify how this item is being sold.
Another function is to sell KITS. This is where you have several items put together so they are sold using one item number. You need to track each of these items as inventory items separately. A good example of a kit is a Happy Meal sold by McDonalds. They have one item number for the Happy Meal, but they sell the Hamburger, French-Fries and Drink as separate items and must be controlled on their inventory.
