Gitex 2006: Software Design launches VD Retail

Software Design realize that to keep ahead of the competition, retailers need to manage their total business with ease and accuracy. Sales at the register, tax collection, inventory status, financial position, and customer/supplier data all need to be monitored.

Mr. Nseir, CEO of Software Design Consulting Group describes most retailers worries. "You need to be able to make sales quickly. Customers are in a hurry. Your system must cope with a wide variety of tenders, such as cash, various credit cards, cheques and vouchers. You need instant access to sales figures and inventory. Only then can you make wise decisions based on real-time information."

In order to get every POS working for any type of business, Software Design invested time to gear up the software with flexible parameters that can configure the POS for the best business usage: access limitation to specific fields in the POS screen, sales related controls, client information updates, default price list, mode of payment and currency can be monitored.

The hardware settings (LCD or Drawer), banners to be displayed on the LCD pole display and the headers/footers to be printed on the invoice slip, function keys to allow fast and effective processing of transactions from the terminal are all configurable.

"While developing our solution, we included features that improve customer relationship, like flexible loyalty programs or even an embedded messaging system to automatically inform through SMS, clients about promotions, clearances or management about the POS daily, weekly or monthly sales or overall cumulated sales. SMS has a great value to Management of large retail stores that opens for late hours," explains Nseir.

Visual Dolphin Retail POS is designed to deliver all of the functionality and speed that the modern, competitive retailer requires, in a user-friendly and affordable PC-based package.
