POSGuys Mobile POS System
Hi, this is Travis with POSGuys.com.
Today we're gonna take a look at our new mobile POS system.
The system has a few upgrades available
for it.
It's based on the PartnerTech EM200 Tablet PC, running Windows 7, and it
also features a Star SMS300 Mobile Receipt Printer.
Both of these are battery powered, so you can take them
into the field, you can take them to like a flea market, or anywhere
where you won't have a power supply available, but you need to do point-of-sale.
So the system starts with the Store Manager Classic software.
It's a basic retail software, but it does have
a touch-screen mode.
You can type in a part number, so like I'll hit in part
number 123, Enter.
Adds the item to the list.
You can also choose it from a touch-screen layout.
So I hit keys twice and here is your different categories, and then there's
your items.
So I can add items to it that way.
When you tender, just hit Tender.
If it's under a hundred dollars, it'll give you a button for exact change, or
you can type in the amount they gave you.
So I'll type in here one-hundred dollars, and hit Okay, and then it'll print out
on our mobile receipt printer.
This is a thermal receipt printer.
It's the normal size of a receipt printer,so
it should be familiar to everybody.
Additional features of Store Manager, you can do daily rentals with it if you
want to run some kind of outdoor rental, like a boat rental thing.
And you can also do custom customers.
So if you want to do some kind of discount program,
or store customer information into the database, you have the ability to do that.
Like all POS software, this has end-of-day reporting.
At the end of the day you just go to File, Close Register.
It will ask you if you want to print on your
receipt printer, just say OK, and it'll clear out the sales, and it'll backup
your database.
[printing] And then your daily totals will be
printed out, as well as your drawer totals, so you know how much money
you made that day, how many transactions you ran, if you did any returns or voids,
and if you took any taxes.
So basic point-of-sale functionality, easy-to-use layout, if you want more
functionality you can also upgrade it to different point-of-sale softwares.
Cash Register Express is recommended.
If you're gonna do a lot of restaurant, you could also go with Aldelo Lite to
do restaurant type of transactions.
What I want to show here is the stationary-kit upgrade.
This is for people that will be doing longer-term
point-of-sale at a single location.
The system is still portable, but it's no longer wireless so you will need
power supplies, you will need a power outlet, and the different components
will be tethered to one another.
The tablet drops into the base station and locks into place.
This also adds on additional USB ports, which are in
the bottom of the base.
And instead of a mobile receipt printer, you will
get a high-speed thermal receipt printer, and a normal cash drawer.
It's a good item if you want to be able to take your
point-of-sale system to different locations, but you'll be doing a lot of point-of-sale,
where a slower receipt printer, or not having a charging base will be a problem.
What I have here is the mobile ruggedization kit.
It adds a jacket to the tablet.
The jacket clips on the back, and then you get
rubber mounts on the corners.
It also adds a hand-grip on the back so that for
prolonged use, it'll just hold onto your hand like so.
There's also a stylus that's built in to the jacket.
You have access to the ports like before, it just gives you a
bit more ruggedization.
We also will upgrade your receipt printer.
This is the receipt printer that comes normally with
the system, but there is a more ruggedized version that also has a
lanyard so that you can wear the receipt printer around your neck.
So it's the same format as this one, but it's yellow
and it's a little more rugged, and it has some mounting options for you to
take it around.
So this is the mobilization kit.
This is the optional card reader if you're gonna to be taking cards while
being mobile.
This has been the introduction to the mobile POS system.
We have the stationary kit, where people are gonna be doing
prolonged point-of-sale, or you have your ruggedization kit if you're gonna be
mobile all day and you want something a little more rugged.
The specs on the computer itself; it runs Windows 7, it
has a 1.6GHz Atom's processor, uh and 1GB of RAM, which can be
upgraded to 2GBs if you're gonna be running a point-of-sale software
other than Store Manager Classic.
Credit card options are available, uh, contact a point-of-sale representative
to figure out how you will be able to do that.
You'll either require a hotspot, or you might need to use, uh, an iOS device,
like an iPhone and, um, a MagTek card reader.
