The simplicity and power offered in the POS module allows Merchant RMS to provide retailers with even the most demanding POS requirements, an array of powerful features. Whether it is layaways, special orders, or repairs you need to process, Merchant RMS allows you to manage these functions with ease.  The POS is also designed with robustness in mind.  This stand alone capability would allow you to do a sidewalk sale or remote trade show and then just simply reconnect the POS to the network and have it automatically update the back office server with the sales it captured at these events.  An integrated credit/debit capability allows for seamless processing of transactions requiring bank authorization. 

The Back Office module also offers powerful features to make managing store operations efficient and trouble free.  Conversion of your existing system is easily accomplished by importing your inventory and customer data from a spreadsheet.  Updates can be performed with a CD or downloaded over the Internet.  All machines on a network are automatically updated even if they were not on the network when the update was applied.  Automated nightly backups of compressed data ensure speedy recovery in the event of a database failure.  In the event of a complete hardware failure, a store’s database can be recreated from the home office system.  Tailoring functions allow you to customize the back office functions to your needs, without requiring custom programming. 

Merchant RMS is scaleable from single store operations requiring complete solutions, to the largest retail chains requiring only a POS front end to their head office merchandising system.  Automated processes in the corporate communications module keep the databases in remote locations synchronized with the home office.  An Internet option is also available to handle communications with remote locations. 

Merchant RMS has been enhanced since 1994 to provide retailers with a solid system to help them manage their operations.  Merchant RMS is truly an industrial grade solution for today’s forward thinking specialty retailer.
