SigmaTree POS Software includes inventory control, purchase orders, point of sale, and back office accounting. It's built to help you run your business instead of just reporting on it.
SigmaTree is much more than just a point of sale systems it's a complete Integrated Business Management System.
Features to consider in a POS system include the following :
Entry Of Sales Information : Most systems allow you to enter inventory codes either manually or automatically via a bar-code scanner. Once the inventory code is entered, the systems call up the standard or sales price, compute the price at multiple quantities and provide a running total. Many systems make it easy to enter sales manually when needed by letting you search for inventory codes based on a partial merchandise number, description, manufacturing code or vendor.
Pricing : POS systems generally offer a variety of ways to keep track of pricing, including add-on amounts, percentage of cost, margin percentage and custom formulas. For example, if you provide volume discounts, you can set up multiple prices for each item.
Updating Product Information : Once a sale is entered, these systems automatically update inventory and accounts receivable records.
Sales Tracking Options : Different businesses get paid in different ways. For example, repair or service shops often keep invoices open until the work is completed, so they need a system that allows them to put sales on hold. If you sell expensive consumer goods and allow installment purchases, you might appreciate a loan calculator that tabulates monthly payments. And if you offer rent-to-own items, you’ll want a system that can handle rentals as well as sales. : Once a sale is entered, these systems automatically update inventory and accounts receivable records.
Security : In retail, it’s important to keep tight control over cash receipts to prevent theft. Most of these systems provide audit trails so you can trace any problems.
Taxes : Many POS systems can support numerous tax rates—useful if you run a mail order business and need to deal with taxes for more than one state.
