Electronic point of sale over the Internet
Electronic point of sale over the Internet becomes a reality with Emperium Web EPOS from E-Novations
E-Novations, a leading UK retail systems and ecommerce specialist, has launched the first secure electronic point of sale (EPOS) system available over the Internet.
The service, available for a monthly rental fee, will enable retailers to offer advanced sales processing and store management quickly and inexpensively.
E-Novations CEO, Manoj Jethwa, said, "This is the quickest and cheapest way for a small, medium or indeed a larger retailer to get trading.
The service is ideal for retailers of any size who want to open new stores, offer mobile point of sale when the store is busy or trade at temporary locations, such as trade fairs, markets, or public transport." Emperium Web EPOS is a Microsoft-based product developed on a.NET framework.
For small retailers, the service provides all the functionality that they will ever need, including elements that are normally only available to much larger retailers, such as multi pricing, Mix and Match promotion management and real-time data store processes, stock movement through to comprehensive management reporting.
The retailer requires no software on their own PC.
They simply log onto Emperium Web EPOS and process transactions as normal.
Emperium Web EPOS is fully compatible with the retailer's bar code scanner, cash drawer, Chip and PIN and/or loyalty terminal.
Security concerns about sharing trading data over the Internet are dispelled by E-Novations unique, secure data model which will transfer data through an existing internet connection, or store data on local machines until a connection is restored.
Jethwa added, "I don't say that one day all epos transactions will be handled in this way, but I think this option will open up the market for advanced epos to a much wider community of retailers and range of sales transactions.".
