SQUARE ONE Point of Sale

Retail POS Software

(Click for larger view)

SQUARE ONE has its own retail POS software. Transactions are fast and the procedures easy to learn. Computac’s unique PC-based register includes the cash drawer, a receipt/validation/journal printer, a flat panel monitor, a keyboard with a credit card reader, a laser scanner, and the CPU. All of the functions necessary for processing any type of transaction are available. POS is completely integrated with every other module within the system. There is no need for duplicate records or for any manual transfer of daily activity. A second cash drawer with individual cash drawer management is available, as is a display post. Credit card authorization is quick, through a dial-up or an Internet connection using PCCharge, a third party credit card processing package, and is automatically initiated upon swiping the card. Our retail POS software supports product scanning using EAN, UPC, or SKU bar code formats. It also contains a complete security system that gives store management control over the type of transactions the clerks can perform.

Like all other areas of the system, POS has its own unique package of features that are aimed at maximizing the speed and accuracy of the sales transactions.
