Entering new products, changing prices, item flags or other information are as easy as
1-2-3 with the Store Management Suite's maintenance screens. Items can be searched
by simple query based on single or multiple indexes, including description, UPC, vendor,
size, category, family and many more.
Prices can be entered for like items in one single entry to avoid the costly repetitive
entries that take up too much time. For example, if the
state law concerning food stamps was modified and all
dairy products were no longer food stamp eligible, one
entry would allow that change to be made for several
hundred dairy products.
Users who receive pricing information from suppliers often have to key the data into
their system because the suppliers cannot provide the information electronically. With
the Store Management Suite's batch entry system, this information can be entered into
the database in advance; the information will be merged into the actual product file at
the appointed date and time. Labels can be printed on the batch contents in order to
keep shelves looking the way they should.

SMS has re-engineered its video rental module to provide a central-based rental tool.
With SMS, you can rent and return at any lane, everything is centralized on the server.
Now, you can manage several copies of the same movie with a single code. PIN number
for each customer is part of the rental module to control access to customers accounts.
In addition, the new feature can be configured to behave in two different ways: video
rental or equipment rental. Depending on the type of items you rent, videos or
equipment, the system behavior will be different. Both renting methods can be used
within the same system.

Customer recognition
SMS introduces an advanced scale interface to manage data from all your in-
store weighing equipment.
The SMS Scale Interface provides a single point of control on scales used for
delicatessen, bakery, meat counter, and other food weighing.
While distributing accurate price information in real time between cash registers,
POS systems, and department scales; the scale interface prevents pricing errors
and ensures centralized data management throughout the entire store.
Using drivers developed by Invatron, the interface can be connected to all major
brands of scales.
The new SMS Scale Interface provides higher levels of scalability, reliability and
price accuracy in your entire store.

66% of purchases decisions are made in store; a good reason to put more
time, attention and strategic design into your store advertising
Many point of sale systems are capable of displaying advertising on the customer
displays. However, building the ad screens is cumbersome. As a retailer, you do not
have time and resources to design advertising slides. But who is in better position to
decide which advertising has to take place in your store? You already spend much time
on your items promotions, then why shouldn’t you automatically advertise these items?
In fact, you only need an easy tool, and here you are, taking control on your
advertisement.

SMS Warehouse Module can stand alone as a complete warehouse system or it can be
interfaced to SMS Store Systems. With this integration, stores running SMS can create
purchase orders which can be transferred to the warehouse to automatically create sales
orders. Store purchase order can also be sent directly to the warehouse or via a central SMS
Hosting system.
Store Purchase order --> Warehouse Sales Order --> Store Receiving
From your store, you can order items using our Purchase Order/Receiving module.
The Purchase Order is electronically sent to the warehouse in order to be processed
with all your internal Sales Orders. When all the sales orders are received, the
warehouse is ready to proceed with Shipping and Invoicing. Then, an Invoice from
the warehouse, which will be used for the receivables, is sent electronically to the
store and becomes a Receiving document waiting to be matched with the delivery of
goods.
With the Warehouse module, you can easily transfer inventory items between two
stores. For instance, Store 1 transfers items to Store 2, with or without a markup, by
generating an electronic invoice. Inventory of Store 1 is being automatically
adjusted. Store 2 receives the goods as well as a receiving document waiting to be
matched with the delivery. This way, the inventory adjustments are automatically
generated in both stores.
Items Distributions
Another very helpful tool is our Distribution feature. From your warehouse, items can
be distributed to all your stores.
Using the Purchase Order screen, you can distribute items while you are ordering,
see a partial screen below. From this screen, you enter the item quantity per store,
the total is automatically calculated, and the Purchase Order is generated. Then, an
invoice is created and sent to each store.
