Store Management Solution

It’s the weekend at a local retail store and the weekend rush is in full force. Lines are backed up, customers are complaining, the employees are cranky, and management is struggling to keep everyone happy.

For the customers, a quick errand turns into a long waiting game complete with boredom and growing impatience. The cashiers become frustrated because items are not coming up at the right price or there’s a problem with a customer’s refund or coupon. And the only person with the solution to these problems is the one manager on duty, who is running around looking for barcodes, finding prices, fumbling with old receipts, and trying to keep up with the rising demands.

Managing retail is stressful, demanding, and all around exhausting. There is a constant need to make orders, control inventory, and let’s not forget the demand of customer service. One great way to relive the stress of retail is by implementing a Point of Sale Software system in the store. POS systems, like the Visual Retail Plus, offer a small to medium retail chains a way to manage their stores in orderly, structured, and a simple manner.

Visual retail plus works as Windows POS software that is compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. They offer the latest and fastest way to process credit and debit card transactions using Chase Paymentech’s Net Connect high-speed processing solution.

Visual Retail Plus point of sale software can also be used to manage multiple store’s in different locations. Visual Retail Plus allows each location to work off a local database, so the main headquarters’ is always up to date on each of the store’s information, without interfering with communication lines. Such information able to be shared store to store through this application are sales and inventory stats. There is also no restriction on the number of store locations able to be managed through this POS software.

This software allows stores to create purchase orders, receive merchandise, distribute to other stores, create shipping manifests, change prices, print barcode tags and labels, create multiple UPCs per item, change and maintain size scales, weights, shipping charges, categorize of the inventory, create "open to buy" budget figures and more.
