POS SUPPORT MANAGER

POS Support Manager offers valuable maintenance, merchandising and reporting capabilities that keep your office and stores synchronized.  With control maintained at the office, redundant store-level data entry is eliminated and pricing accuracy is ensured.

Shelf Management and Merchandising

POS Support Manager serves as the connection between the Droste Item File Manager and your stores’ POS systems. It generates item maintenance batches during the routine maintenance cycle, then compresses them for efficient transport and transmits them to your POS system.

Data review is simplified through user-defined filters that report on ranges such as UPC, department, vendor ID, and commodity. Shelf management and merchandising information is found in a variety of item movement reports ranked on units sold, dollars sold, gross profit percent or gross profit dollars. These reports further serve as a merchandising tool, offering breakdowns by specific commodities, vendors or departments. In addition, the office can review historical movement in 13-, 52-, or 104-week increments for comprehensive category management and gross profit analyses.

Maintenance Batching

POS Support Manager utilizes a flexible batching methodology that provides for streamlined processes and timely price changes. Stores can break down weekly maintenance and coordinate the generation of Unit Tags with matching POS batches. Batches can be broken down into small groups by vendor, user-defined sort, and by price increases and decreases. Sorting by stock type and size further streamlines tag printing. Once batching is complete, employees change prices in small, manageable groups and, subsequently, apply batches in a timely manner — alleviating pricing issues at the register.

In-Store Coupons

Droste has simplified maintaining and managing in-store coupons for in-store sale items. Through POS Support Manager, sale item information is shared with the POS system, enabling an in-store coupon to be automatically created at POS when an item and coupon are scanned in.

Host-to-Store Compare

Continually verify the accuracy of your scan data by periodically reading the store’s POS file and comparing the results to the host. This report can be generated for all UPCs, a range of UPCs, by department, by category and by sub-category. Additionally, the comparison can be filtered to include up to 24 different types of discrepancies depending upon the POS type, e.g., items not on file, retail, department, and tax flag.
