Peterborough, UK - July 3 2006
Pacific Retail Systems announced today that its versatile StoreTrader electronic-point-of-sale (EPoS) system is available on the PINPOS all-in-one integrated PoS and certified Chip & PIN pinpad from Bristol Office Machines (BOM). Retailers can now offer card-paying customers a truly mobile and secure PoS payment experience, literally bringing the total payment method directly to them without any recourse to the till. With this level of flexibility, secure transactions can be made anywhere at anytime, reducing legwork for sales assistants and speeding up the whole payment process for customers.
StoreTrader is unique in being the only PoS software which will run on any Windows platform, from WinCE to WinXP and is already available on Symbol handhelds and Windows CE or Mobile 5 PDAs. This is a major reason why Virgin Trains selected StoreTrader to manage sales from trolleys and the buffet shop on its mainline trains. StoreTrader Mobile is packed with the same features and functionality as the 'fixed till' PoS version. It is fully Chip & PIN enabled to ensure total security as well as mobility when managing sales transactions on handheld devices in kiosks, outdoors, in-store for 'queue-busting' at peak times, in cafés & restaurants, and for in-home selling.
With barcode scanners attached to PDAs, 'on-the-fly' stock checking in real-time is made easy and fast, while connection to one or several StoreTrader Mobile Servers enables printing and EFT.
"StoreTrader is fully accessible and functional in all point-of-sale situations," said Mike Newman, managing director of Pacific Retail Systems. "The advantage of StoreTrader is that the same PoS interface is used on both fixed and portable PoS devices - same menus, data, and interfaces. In fact the same underlying code runs on any Windows device - whether it is Windows CE or Mobile on a handheld, Windows XP Embedded on a 'thin client' PoS device, or Windows 95, 98, ME, NT or XP on any PC-based PoS."
The system's design makes StoreTrader easy and familiar to use on any Windows PoS device, therefore minimising staff training and errors. StoreTrader is also made significantly more reliable since there is only one product to maintain and extend. It can be configured as a touch-screen or conventional PoS system with configurations to suit each store, each department or even each checkout.
Designed by experts with only retail store applications in mind, StoreTrader is well-established across every branch of retail from independents and small chains to department stores and multiples. Easy, reliable, functional, fast and scalable, StoreTrader manages a wide variety of PoS transactions at an ever expanding number of retail operations nationwide.
