Security Features

Security refers to two different things:

1 - The ability to limit access to information or program functions. This is used to make sure that staff
cannot make unauthorized transactions or see confidential information. Each employee is assigned a
password to determine their access level.

Some of the Retail Plus password features are:

Passwords determine the functions a person can use.

All sales transactions are logged with the date, time and name of the sales person.

Optional requirement for a manager's password before the system will void a sale.

A training mode, in which all POS functions can be used with password, but no data are saved.

Password prompts that can be turned off. If you don't need passwords, you shouldn't be forced to use
them.

The Client Database

A client database contains your customer's names, addresses and purchase histories. It keeps useful
information about each customer that can help you with marketing and sales management. Some
features of the client database are:

Fast - Lets you find a customer fast using a name, phone number, or a point-and-shoot pick list.

Informative - Shows you who bought what, when, for how much, how they paid, and who sold it to
them.
Complete - Lets you keep notes on individual customers and even a photo if you wish.

Accurate - Creates accurately targeted mailing lists for special promotions or even product recalls.
