Espresso ePOS is a comprehensive Point Of Sale "POS" solution offering high volume capacity for fast paced, multi-site retail operations. Espresso ePOS is highly scaleable. Whether you run a single shop, or manage dozens of stores with multiple POS registers, you will have the same user-friendly POS interface with full integration to Espresso Financials.

Financial Integration

It is not uncommon to hear that some POS solutions have weak integration with financial accounting software. By contrast, Espresso ePOS arguably has the most comprehensive integration with accounting financials of any POS solution. That is because Espresso ePOS and Espresso Financials are actually one in the same program, with the only difference being that Espresso ePOS has retail technology extensions and is set up differently (for example you typically hide the General Ledger at the POS Registers).

Retail Technology

With integration to all retail technologies available (including Bar-code readers, docket printers, pole displays, cash drawers, real-time credit card processing and weigh scales) Espresso Financials offers a tailored Point Of Sale solution for optimum check-out speed and accuracy while providing real-time reporting across the enterprise.

Live Internet-based Multi Site Connectivity

Espresso ePOS offers retailers a secure, cost-effective and easy-to-administer solution with a powerful unlimited view of the entire operation from any POS Register or workstation anywhere.

Because Espresso's interface is replicated throughout your enterprise, any task that can be performed locally can also be performed at any remote branch or at the head office consolidated level. Stock inventory can be priced and controlled centrally or remotely at the branch level. If an item is out of stock at one site your staff can easily run a live interbranch stock enquiry to find out where else the item is stocked. Then your staff can place an order for that item at the remote branch.

Some Point Of Sale vendors claim to have Live Internet Connected Multi-Site capabilities. What they don't tell you is that if the Internet shuts down then so does your operation. Espresso ePOS, on the other hand, will permit your staff to continue with uninterrupted operation until the connection is restored at which point all transactions will be resynchronised to the head office.

Deployment of the software, which is controlled at the server, couldn't be any easier to set up and maintain. Even new versions of both the server and workstation software are automatically installed via our Internet live update function.

Fast, Configurable, Easy to Use Windows Interface

Unlike DOS, Unix and Browser based user interfaces, Espresso ePOS benefits from the full, un-compromised functionality and performance of Microsoft's Windows operating system. With its highly configurable user interface, Espresso ePOS works the way your staff do, not the other way round. Your staff will be immediately familiar with its standard look and feel, saving you valuable training time and money. This intuitive user interface, with its SmartMove technology that allows moving around the screen by just using the arrow keys, has been designed to deliver faster, smoother sales. Because cashiers are less reliant on the mouse (which is hard to use in confined areas) they make fewer mistakes and lines move faster.

Successful retailers know that retailing is more than just selling products, it is also marketing that product in a rapidly changing environment. Today you need integrated systems with real time, enterprise-wide data reporting that allow you to fully understand what products sell, who is buying them, what they want, where they came from and how they reacted to your marketing. Your system must be configurable so that you can collect this information. And most importantly you must be able to act on this information and deploy any changes across your enterprise instantly. Espresso ePOS with its multi-site capabilities gives you all this and more.
