Throwback Thursday - RegistWare POS

As we are headed in to a summer holiday weekend, I thought that a simple post might be in order. The image below contains 2 things:

  1. A single sided 5.25 floppy that I used with a TRS-80
  2. A CD with the RegistWare POS software that I formally did sales and channel development for but sadly was not established enough to be offered beyond the events of September 11, 2001 

As always - if you are a retailer in the US in need of no cost point of sale advice, please call me on my cell at 208-340-5632 or email me at kevinantosh@gmail.com

Enhancements for the Microsoft Dynamics RMS Point of Sale Software

Wow - so I've taken the time to review a lot of the various add-ons for the Microsoft Dynamics point of sale software and will be sharing more information on each add-on over the next couple of weeks. The idea is that these add-ons enhance RMS and many will be upgraded to work with Retail Management Hero as well (Retail Management Hero is the new version of RMS - contact me for verification on options and portability)

Here are the different modules:

  • Card Defender: EMV hardware and software for RMS
  • Age Verification: Verify customers age and read/scan/swipe state issued ID's
  • Advanced Purchase Order: Enhanced data for creating purchase orders
  • Biometrics/Fingerprint Reader: Use a fingerprint reader for log-in
  • Coin Dispenser: Use coin dispensers with RMS for change delivery
  • Enhanced Z Report: Get more detail in your daily Z report
  • Delivery Module: Use RMS in your retail business that offers deliver services
  • Express Customer Setup: Use ID card information to enter customer data in to RMS
  • Enhanced Gift Cards: Not happy with the Voucher Gift Card system in RMS? 
  • Inventory Roll Back Report: See changes in inventory that took place after request date
  • Keg Registration: Allows for the rental and tracking of kegs within RMS
  • Open Discount: Setup additional open discount buttons in RMS
  • RITE Label: Enhanced label printer features and functionality
  • Price Level Extension: increase the number of price levels offered in RMS
  • Profit Checker: Set desired profit margins
  • Restock Report: Quickly see which inventory items need to be replenished
  • Emailer: Email receipts to customers and perform very limited mass emails
  • Sales Velocity Tool: Quickly see product movement
  • Supplier Integration: Upload a suppliers database of products and use electronic purchasing
  • Time Clock: Enhanced use and reporting of the time clock function in RMS
This is quite the list in addition to the other e-commerce, mobile, and loyalty add-ons that already exist for RMS and will likely be used with Retail Management Hero as well. I'll be posting more information over the coming weeks but please get in touch with me if you have any questions.
