Its unique pre-processing of information helps speed customers through the check-out line.
HEAD OFFICE FLEXIBILITY
Highly recommended as the retail store-level solution of choice, PennyLane combines an open architecture system with the processing power necessary to tie in to virtually any Head Office Inventory Control & Merchandising application. This allows system files to be imported into PennyLane Retail Enterprise software as well as a wide variety of industry recognized inventory,accounting and reporting packages. From a single stand-alone terminal to a multi-store, multiterminal operation, retailers seeking maximum functionality, maximum performance and maximum value, will enjoy the superior benefits of PennyLane.
VERSATILITY
Your business is unique. PennyLane software can be tailored to match your needs with functions easily added, removed, or assigned to “manager only” status. Recommended for use with the IBM SureOne™, PennyLane can be used on most other PC platforms running Windows-95, Windows-98, Windows-2000, or Windows-NT.
SECURITY
PennyLane, like a cash register, records and manages all transactions in a secure and controlled
fashion. “Flash” financial reporting is available at the touch of a key. Detailed cashier and clerk
reporting is also provided. All sales data and transaction sequencing are secured. PennyLane is
unaffected by power failures. When thesystem comes back up the “current” transaction is there
for you to pick up where you left off. Additionally, the software incorporates an extensive security
system preventing employees from unauthorized access to cash and data.
NETWORK OFF-LINE HANDLING
PennyLane is fully protected against network crashes. The system is comprised of two separate
components, the Front End, which is installed on the local hard drive of each POS terminal, and the
Windows-based “Back Office” system, which can be installed on a separate PC in the store’s office
area or in fact on one the terminals. Each terminal works with its own copies of the master files,
which means that it your network goes down the terminals just keep chugging away and your retail
operation is not brought to a stand-still. When the network comes back up the terminals simply fire
the transactions which they performed “off-line” back up to the ISP ( In-Store Processor ). You can
breathe easy with the knowledge that your PennyLane system really is bullet-proof.
