Announcement posted by ACCPAC 26 Feb 2004
Internet-based point of sale software operates online and offline for maximum flexibility; provides easy administration and real-time accounting integration
ACCPAC has announced the release of ACCPAC ePOS v. 5.2 point of sale (POS) system. The software enables retailers to manage their POS operations securely over the Internet with complete integration to ACCPAC Advantage Series accounting. The systems Internet-based approach provides a high degree of flexibility, especially for multiple-site operations, while remaining cost-effective, and easy to administer.
ACCPAC ePOS 5.2 enables retailers to easily link POS registers at multiple retail locations to the head office over the Internet -a single installation of the ACCPAC ePOS server connects ACCPAC ePOS registers at both local and remote locations. This Internet-based approach makes register setup simple and cost-effective. ACCPAC ePOS also provides real time integration with back office accounting for single point transaction management, and its on-line and off-line modes ensure uninterrupted transaction processing should Internet availability become compromised.
New with version 5.2, ACCPAC ePOS also enables retailers to:
Handle transactions in multiple currencies; even rounding up where required as in Australia where pennies are no longer used;
Easily manage multiple tills at POS registers for fast cashier changeover; For example, sales transactions for the a.m. clerk can be kept in an ACCPAC ePOS electronic till or virtual cash box dedicated to that cashier, while transactions are processed in the p.m. clerks electronic till, once that clerk starts his/her shift. Each clerk maintains a separate total, eliminating the need for time-consuming, manual cash register transitions and helping to prevent till errors.
Handle complex inventory barcode schemes such as those for multiple part products.
It also offers advanced security:
New, variable encryption technology to prevent another system or hacker from processing transactions. The ACCPAC ePOS Server verifies the next transaction and credit card numbers during Register activation, ensuring that previously used or duplicate numbers from inactive or stolen registers cant be used. Users can configure security by Company, Register and Rights, and password protection is provided in both offline and online modes.
"Our goal is to provide SMBs with an excellent POS application, made even better through its use of the Internet and tight integration with surrounding business applications," said ACCPAC Senior Vice President (Pacific), Daithi Holden. "With ACCPAC ePOS 5.2, were providing more operational flexibility, full integration to the back office, bulletproof transaction processing, and much higher security. Additionally, since ePOS uses the Internet, SMBs can now benefit from the centralised management and real time transaction processing that larger retailers have enjoyed for years - and at a price they can afford."
