The Electronic Point of Sale (EPoS) from Sage allows your business retail and transaction needs to be efficiently met, providing quick accurate and importantly secure transactions in store and online for customers present and non present. Furthermore, the software helps you manage finances, people, customers, stakeholders, suppliers and stock more effectively providing you with a 360 degree integrated operation giving you a competitive advantage.

Sage 200 Point of Sale is configurable to suit the way your business works, enhancing the integrations and enabling instant results and maximum staff uptake opposed to having to re train staff to manage around new software.

Listed below are just a few advantages of Sage POS:

Improves all round customer transaction service. Customers are able to pay by cheque, cash or card with the ability to pay via 2 or more different methods and also via different currencies. Gift card loyalty schemes and the ability to print cheques further increases the customer usability/

Configures to your business. The software can adapt to your companies needs, terminology and look making the feel completely unique, maximising benefit. Furthermore the touch screen layout and look can be fully customised, minimising staff training and mistakes, further improving customer service and customer waiting times.

Configurable security levels.
With the ability to assign each operator to a particular security level via their staff numbers Sage 200 allows you to have those who have the experience and responsibility to have more access than lower level staff. For example refunds and operations such as using the same card for two transactions in a row and delicate refunds can be controlled

Advanced Reporting. Each individual system has the ability to produce reports at the end of staff sessions or trading days/weeks etc. These reports assist with analysis and drilling down into the figures for certain days of the week, individual departments and store locations.

Compatibility with Chip and PIN. Chip and PIN is essential for providing additional security to customers using credit and debit cards. Furthermore there is the possibility that retailers that do not use Chip and PIN may be liable to some or all of the fraudulent transaction cost.
