Project Description
Title Point of Sale & Inventory Control System
Client Common
Overview
A Point of Sale (POS) system is a system for managing the sales of retail goods. The
term is used to refer to the software and hardware associated with checkout stands,
and all of the bundled features which are included. Most retailers use a POS system at
their check stands or counters, and several major manufacturers offer POS systems
designed for various types of businesses, ranging from grocery stores to clothing
boutiques. Using a POS system makes a business much more efficient, lowering the
costs of running the business while improving customer relationship and handling and
making the business more pleasant to work in.
In the retail trade, the “point of sale” is the moment when a customer walks up to a
counter with goods and prepares to purchase them. A POS system handles the
transaction.
Since 1995 iPOS.NET has been able to assist hundreds of satisfied customers, both
domestic and international, run their businesses more efficiently and more profitably.
The POS software providers believe in building long term partnerships with
customers to ensure that they get exactly what they need from their POS systems.
IPOS.NET has staff members with experience and technical expertise in installing,
training and supporting POS systems. The POS software providers take pride in their
ability to customize systems and the breadth of product offerings and low-cost allows
the facility to be available for every small and large size customers.
“iPOS.NET” proposed system would serve on the counter along with an online
Inventory Control System running on a separate PC in the Back Office. POS system
would keep complete track of real cash in. The Inventory Control System can also be
referred to as Back Office because it operates in the background. It is intended to
monitor the stock centrally and keep better record of the Sales through Periodic and
Instantaneous Reports. Customer receipts shall be printed through Thermal Receipt
Printers whereas Reports shall be printed through LaserJet printers in the BackOffice
software.
IPOS.NET offers a complete solution that meets all our requirements in a single
system.

Billing
Billing means total amount charged to a customer or the final checkout the customer
does.
http://www.ipos.net.pk 6 of 86
9. Offline billing when the server is down due to hardware or network failure, the
clients can continue to bill. Each time the client starts up, it downloads the
price information from the server and is used for offline billing. When the
server comes back, the billed information are uploaded to the server and
normal operations are restored
10. Weighing scale integrated item scanning supported in billing.
11. Complete analysis for item purchase days Vs sales analysis.
12. Quick add customer from billing screen with minimal key strokes to make
billing faster
Inventory Management
Inventory management is all about knowing what is on hand, how much is consumed,
and how much units are required in certain time frame.
1. Damage or Wastage entry facilitates accounting for the floor returns with the
reason for wastage
2. Item transaction history to know the full track record for an item.
3. Complete stock movement and analysis can be managed and tracked.
4. Parent / Child items : Supports loose sales from bulk packages e.g. Selling rice
from a rice bag
5. Facility to maintain manufacturer product code and my product code :
Facilitates correspondence with the manufacturer using the vendor product
codes
6. Comprehensive stock and sales statement for your inventory management
needs
7. Inventory Age can be tracked and nonmoving stock can be listed for further
action.
8. Item transaction history QSL (Quantitative Stock Ledger) for full product
details
9. PDT [handheld barcode scanner with memory] based stock audit - automatic
generation of stock discrepancy report based on computer and physical stock,
correction of discrepancy Etc. This makes daily stock taking easier and
enables accurate measure of pilferage
10. Vendor wise reorder can be done based on minimum stock level, average x
number of days sale based on last n days of sales etc
http://www.ipos.net.pk 7 of 86
Track Inventory with Less Effort and More Profit
Point of Sale Pro automatically adjusts your inventory every time you make a sale,
order, or return - which helps you keep the most popular items on-hand without
overstocking or selling out.
Instantly view what's in stock, what's hot, and what needs to be reordered
Record each shipment of merchandise received and Point of Sale adjusts
inventory figures with each sale or return.
Set reorder points and automatically generate purchase orders
Advanced tracking tools for vendors, item codes and barcodes
http://www.ipos.net.pk 8 of 86
iPOS.NET is one of the largest POS providers in Pakistan due to their after sales
satisfied customers and the customize able strong product.
Point of Sale runs on a computer. You will need one computer at every individual
point of sale. If you have more than one place in your store where you ring up sales,
you will need to network those computers together, so they can all share the same
inventory information. This is where most store owners need the assistance of a
professional – If that is the case, then making the decision as to which software to use
becomes your major decision.
There are multiple types of displays involved in the POS system. The seller as well as
the buyer needs to look at the item description, price and running total for the current
http://www.ipos.net.pk 9 of 86
sale. The seller normally enjoys the luxury of the computer monitor. On the other
hand, the buyer can have a smaller display for one item each in the normal practice.
Pole displays are still popular though generally only in the retail environment, and
there specifications differ as well. The number of lines as well as characters will vary
from one make to the next. Generally they have serial connections.
Your receipt printer will generally be a forty column, and will either be dot matrix, or
a thermal unit. This is a personal preference in most cases, for example the thermal
unit is faster and will be quieter than the dot matrix, however it can't be used in
restaurant kitchens or environments where they may come into contact with chemicals
as the paper will fall apart and go transparent.
Retail establishments should also have bar code scanners, which can cut down time
spent at the till considerably. The type of scanner can vary from a fixed unit to a hand
held – one with a trigger, or a flatter hand held unit with a button. Scanners can also
vary from the CCD (close contact diode), with limited range and scanning
capabilities, to the Laser scanners with long range capabilities, as well as ADF
(Advanced Data Format), for the better ranges. This ADF allows the scanner to read
bar codes that have been scratched or slightly damaged in some way. It is also a good
idea to have your own bar code printer if you are going to be using bar codes. These
come in many ranges and types. Some can print labels that will be used in a chemical
environment (specific labels would have to be utilized), others can print the standard
labels we find in clothing shops, while still others print out shelf-talkers (the labels on
the shelves of supermarkets worldwide).
We provide Point of Sale software and hardware; the features of software will be
discussed later in this proposal.
http://www.ipos.net.pk 10 of 86
scanners can read a barcode at any angle, so your check-out clerks don't have
to line up the barcode just right. In-counter scanners are Omni directional as
well.

Grocery Store Point of Sale Software & Grocery Store
POS Systems
A Grocery Store must be prepared to handle a large number of customers efficiently.
Grocery Store Point of Sale Software tailored for the Grocery Store Environment will
help you do this by facilitating customer checkouts and helping you manage your
inventory. In addition to letting cashiers quickly scan, weigh and ring up any item in
your store, our Grocery Store POS Software will help you keep track of inventory
stock, automate purchase orders, determine best and worst sellers, use discount cards
and loyalty plans, and manage your employees' hours. Flatbed and Omni directional
Barcode Scanners allow you to scan a barcode at any angle, and barcode printing
software allows you to print your own Barcode Labels for items that don't come with
their own. Since a grocery store is likely to use several Grocery Store POS Software
Terminals for each of its checkout lanes, we provide only fast, new/used computers
and POS Equipment capable of handling the high transaction frequency.

Physical Audit – Stock Taking
Portable Data Terminal (PDT) software has been designed to assist end users by
improving the accuracy and efficiency of stocktaking of goods. The software solution,
coupled with environment specific hardware, enables users to simply scan items, enter
quantities and import the result directly into the relevant stock feature. Multiple units
can be deployed simultaneously in your organization in order to divide and conquer
stock processes of any magnitude. iPOS.NET PDT ideal for any business that has an
emphasis on stock control
Physical audits of inventories are one of the most important activities of retail
business. In most cases it is recommended that full and partial stocktaking of
inventories are done on periodic basis. . Following are the features of stock taking
module available in the iPOS.Net.
http://www.ipos.net.pk 38 of 86
Branded Web SMS (Separate Module Charged
additionally)
Branded Web SMS module is a very popular feature of iPOS.Net. You can maintain a
database of your customers. You can define the Messages and save these messages in
the system. Now you can select customers from your database and send the messages
in the queue. Now System will send those messages one by one to the selected
customers.
You can send greetings, offers and discount promotions to the customers on the
specific dates.
There is an option of entering two barcodes side by side in the item master file. There
are items which are sold both in pieces and in boxes. In practical there are different
barcodes on boxes and individual items. Although the item is same but the barcodes
are different. We can put both barcodes in the system along with the number of
packing units in one box. When we scan the individual item's barcode system will sale
only one piece of the items. When we scan the box barcode the system will sale the
number of packing units in one box.
By doing this it speeds up the cash count process and it helps to stop the mistakes
done by the cashier.

future purposes. The print out of the debit note will be stapled with the actual invoice
of the supplier for verification and references. At the time of the purchase batch
number and expiry date of the item should be entered in the system for better physical
inventory management.
Items will be issued to the customer according to their requisition or demand. Transfer
voucher will be transferred electronically to the remote location via secure VPN.
Sometimes few items come back to the main warehouse from the retail location.
These transactions make the inventory of the warehouse. There are few more
transactions effect the inventory in which adjustment entries are included. There are
possible plus and minus entries which also effect the inventory of warehouse.
This module can run independently as well as integrated with main Point Of Sale

Warehouse / Bulk Store Inventory (Separate Module
Charged additionally)
In some cases two inventory levels are required. In this case "Warehouse / Bulk
Store" Inventory module is added in the system. This system can be integrated with
the existing POS system module to keep the 2nd inventory level. This Module directly
interacts with the external vendors and internal sections (customers). New
Categories, Suppliers, Subcategories, Brands and Customers etc. will be created in the
warehouse. Customer are basically the internal departments, sections or kitchens.
Stocks are received in the warehouse from the suppliers and issued to internal sections
to keep the track of what is received from suppliers and what is issued to internal
sections for inventory and consumption purposes. Items are received on cost prices
and issued to internal sections on the same prices.
New items will be created at the warehouse level. Purchases will be entered at
warehouse level from suppliers; even barcodes will be generated in the warehouse as
well. Now the stocks will be issued to different sections according to their
consumptions. In case of restaurant items will be issued to different kitchens. These
transfer vouchers will be converted into restaurants receipts automatically.

Chicken, Beef, Mutton, fish and those items which we receive in numbers and
consume in numbers can be tacked accurately. But there are many items like spices,
oil, fruit and vegetables which are not fixed in terms of consumption. Fruits and
vegetables are those items which have unpredictable wastage as well. In spite of these
facts we should try to keep the track of average use of ingredients, iPOS.NET allows
the users to define two different kinds of items.
Menu items are the first kind of items which we define in our menu and customers
choose from these items. The other kind is the recipe / ingredients which we define in
master items list. These items are used to prepare the menu items. So we can define a
relationship between menu and recipe items. This relation gives us the opportunity to
track the consumption of ingredients.
We purchase recipe / ingredient items and sale menu items. The sale of menu items
automatically makes consumption of ingredients. The purchase of ingredients and
consumption makes the inventory. On the other hand we also monitor the wastage of
fruits and vegetables to keep the books quantity close to the actual inventory.

Bakery Manufacturing Process (Optional Charged
Separately)
There are different manufacturing departments can be in one bakery i.e. bread, snacks,
cake, biscuits and juice corners etc. In bakery raw material comes in the bulk store /
ware house. Every day each department has been handed over their manufacturing
plan, we can say that each department knows what they are going to produce during
the day. This plan can be changed according to requirement or occasions.
At the start of the day each department will enter its production plan in the warehouse
computer. This plan will combine all the ingredients at one location individually. And
produce a list with finished goods that are planned to be produced and the ingredients
which are required to produce the “Production Plan” Items.
Each department will get raw material from the bulk store and will start its
production. Now this each department will input its production in the computer batch
by batch or combined at the end of the day.
This activity will give two major benefits firstly it will make us possible to compare
the production plan and the production and get the discrepancy report. This
discrepancy report will give us the list of remaining raw material in each department
in case of short production. Secondly we will get the finished goods in our inventory
and issue them to our outlet(s) in batches or sell these items to our external customers.
This procedure will give us control firstly at bulk store then at production and the
Point Of Sale portion of the software will give us the control at the retail level.

Rent / Tenant Management (Separate Module Charged
additionally)
There is a comprehensive optional rent / tenant management module linked with GLS.
There are different types of tenants you may deal with. Following is a list of tenant
types.
System is capable enough to handle all four types of tenants simultaneously described
above. A due amount journal voucher will be generated automatically in the system
against each tenant on monthly basis. This due amount will raise receivable in the
system against tenants. Individual ledgers of tenants will be maintained separately.
1. Improved gross margin due to more accurate item ring-ups at the cash counter.
2. There is also the promise of increased operational efficiencies. Labor savings
are achieved by reducing time spent price marking and making price changes.
Increased cashier productivity and better check-out customer service are
potentially achieved through faster item pass-through.
3. Difficult to quantify but of possible significance is that the POS scanning
system can provide store management with detailed data, aiding better
inventory control, product line and space use decisions, better shelf
management using data, promotions, analysis, etc.
4. No chance of cash fraud at cashier’s level due to Cash Collection at day end
with or without the involvement store management.
5. Central decision making and prompt implementation regarding inventory
management and sales improvement.

a “Stock Credit Note” is issued to the Supplier. The Inventory is automatically
updated in both the scenarios. Both of these discussed documents are related to the
Suppliers. If Integrated GLS is running in the store these documents will
automatically affect the “Stock Purchases” and “Supplier” heads, defined in the Chart
of Accounts.
The Back Office portion of the software has many other tasks to perform. It allows the
User to populate the Initial system database and generation of reports. The list of
other tasks has been described already, in the “Specifications (Salient Features)”
section. The stocks which were issued from the warehouse will be received at the
BackOffice of the outlet. It will help the outlet to manage its inventory.
There are some more internal transactions available in the system to keep the better
record of inventory, adjustments and transfers. Back Office also caters these
transactions and generates reports accordingly.
The other portion of the Inventory Control System which deals with the Customer is
known as POS (Point Of Sale). Every time a Customer purchases any item, the POS
operator enters it in the POS software through Barcode Scanner or Keyboard, it tells
the accumulative total of the quantity as well as amount to be paid. When an operator
closes the bill, the software prints a receipt immediately for the customer’s record.
The POS screen also takes care of the return transaction from the customer by
updating the quantity online in the master file.
The Point Of Sale system consists of two portions. One portion takes care of the
transactions with the Supplier and the other portion deals with the Customer.
Movement of the items from or to the Supplier has some documentation to go along
with. Items coming from the Supplier have accompanying invoices. These invoices
are referenced in the Inventory System to keep track of the items by using a form
called “Stock Debit Note”. In the same way, when an item is returned to the Supplier
a “Stock Credit Note” is issued to the Supplier. The Inventory is automatically
updated in both the scenarios. Both of these discussed documents are related to the
Suppliers. If Integrated GLS is running in the store these documents will
automatically affect the “Stock Purchases” and “Supplier” heads, defined in the Chart
of Accounts.

Networking
Network shall be laid down if required. LAN and Wireless LAN are the two popular
methods of networking. iPOS.NET supports both LAN and Wireless LAN
technologies as well as the union of both the technologies. Keeping in view our
previous experience it is recommended that Cable LAN is much more reliable than
the wireless LAN. There is no limitation as far as iPOS.NET is concerned. It can work
in both scenarios.
