With all the demands of the ever-changing business environment, we realise the need for innovation within the retail world. Our foresight has given us a proactive approach to the advanced requirements longed for by most retailers. Not only do EPOS solutions need to be reliable and user friendly, they also need to be flexible and capable of integrating with other back office packages.

» The solution is EPOS

KCPOS is a fully integrated point of sale system, designed for the modern retail or wholesale business. Flexible and affordable, Our EPOS system will fully integrate with your back office accounts software for full stock control and unparalleled reporting capabilities.

descriptions and bar code lookups, minimises search time and reduces queuing at the POS.

From initial consultancy to final ongoing support - our team of friendly, helpful experts will guide you every step of the way. » Secure Communications Business in many different sectors can benefit from our integrated EPOS solution. Ideally suited to retailers with multiple points of sale spread across multiple sites, KCPOS embraces secure communications technology such as Virtual Private Networking (VPN) to link up remote sites. broadband internet connections are used to process 'Chip and Pin', providing all the benefits of a fully integrated system. When used with KC Back Office, password protection ensures user access and client privileges can quickly and easily by implemented in real-time. As soon as settings are implemented client access is granted at the point of sale. Since security is of paramount importance in any retail transaction environment, our custom system makes sure that total security can be implemented with the absolute minimum of user intervention. Since all the security is controlled via a central system, any user can log-on to any point of sale terminal at the local site as soon as their account is configured.

» Remove The Separate Control System Since KCPOS reconciles directly with your chosen accounts package, there is no need to maintain a         separate stock ledger. Removing this third-party software not only saves you time and effort but                                              also makes sure that your entire Retail Solution keeps up-to-date and                                                                          fully accurate no matter how many transactions you                                                                           process each day.                                                                           Because KCPOS is fully integrated with your                                                                           Accounts Solution you can ensure that any price                                                                           changes are implemented directly to the point of                                                                           sale and that any sales processed are recorded                                                                           into your system.                                                                           This one stock file can be utilised to serve all your                                                                           requirements, in EPOS, E-Commerce or internet                                                                           shop, customer / trade accounts, stock                                                                           maintenance and stock checking systems.                                                                           » Complete Transaction History                                                                           As KCPOS uses SQL it is possible to recover a full                                                                    transaction history to any point of sale terminal. This                           means that previous customer transactions can easily be duplicated or receipts re-printed at any point of time post-transaction. The transaction history can easily be searched at any stage from any terminal at your local site. This transaction history is especially helpful locating transactions where a customer no longer has access to the original till receipt. This can be particularly helpful in environments where 'buy now - collect later' procedures are in place. » Automated Cashing Up & Integrated Accounts Reconciliation The Cash Book is perhaps one of the most important aspects of small business management. At-a-glance you have the ability to view monthly sales trends and 'drill-down' into individual transactions. KCPOS uses advanced reconciliation procedures to make sure that at all times the Cash Book, or 'General Ledger' is kept up-to-date and accurate. This is critical for your business and monitoring like-for-like trends. KCPOS goes further than that, the advanced features of the KCPOS software mean that aspects of the General Ledger (specifically individual transactions) can be reviewed at the point of sale from any period in time. This means that customers with specific transaction queries can be helped more efficiently from the point of sale ensuring your customers are kept happy and your data is kept accurate. Also integrated and updatable are pricing files, stock maintenance and stock checking systems.

» Save Money On Call Costs

With all inter-branch communications on one broadband link, retailers will save money on multi-line rentals. Everything your remote shop requires, including polling data to and from the head office, 'Chip and Pin' authorisations, back-up and support can be done on the same line! Even telephone calls can be made for free using Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP), saving you call costs as well.

» Specialist Features

Easy postcode lookup allows KCPOS to quickly collect customer details for loyalty schemes and promotions. Specialist retailers will benefit from comprehensive features, such as serial number recording and the placing and tracking of deposits and orders at the point of sale. KCPOS can even be configured to prompt a Gift Aid information at the ticket booth.

Even business with a mix of wholesale, trade counter, account and retail sales will benefit from KCPOS linked to their back-office sale order processing, purchasing and stock control systems.

» Powerful Reporting Capabilities KCPOS comes as standard with a comprehensive suite of reports in a variety of reporting tools. As KCPOS is based around a powerful SQL database you can extract the information you want in a format to suit you. The need for fast and accurate reports are imperative in the retail industry.
