Tally Shopper HO

When you have more than one store and one or more warehouses, central management may be required for your business. Shoper 9 HO fulfills these requirements.

What can you manage centrally? When the same SKU (stock keeping unit/item code) and categories are used uniformly, you can define these at the HO and have them flow to the POS locations. Other masters are also supported, including price lists, promotions, discounts, customer & supplier lists and taxes.

Keeping in mind that connectivity can never be 100%, the data architecture is de-centralised. This means that each store has its own local database which is replicated at the HO. One additional advantage of having two copies of the database: in case of a disaster you do not lose your data!

Data transfer between POS & HO is via the Internet. Several methods are supported depending on the local connectivity conditions – each store can opt for one that suits it best. This data synchronisation can be scheduled at regular intervals, and controlled by the HO.

All decision support is available centrally at the HO. It lets you access over 100 reports taken across stores & groups of stores (grouped any way you want).

When you need to add another store, Shoper 9 HO supports rapid deployment. You can bring up a store to full operation in about half a day. Specific store settings and configurations can be copied into a template and deployed at the new store. All master information can be automatically pulled in from the HO.

HO supports centralised management of indents from the store, generation of consolidated Purchase Orders and integration with warehouses for dispatches.

Shoper 9 POS/Distributor

Shoper 9 POS is a powerful Point of Sale (POS) application to manage all your retail operations in a store or distributor location. It comes in two flavours – Retail or Distributor.

While the Retail application is used in a store/showroom selling products/services to customers on cash & carry basis, the Distributor application is used by warehouses/stockists to sell and dispatch goods to retailers on wholesale basis either for cash or on credit. Both have common features and differ only in the target customers they service.

Retail businesses –from a single store to a chain of stores selling different items –can use Shoper 9 POS. The application supports Purchase, Stock, Sales and Bar coding. Master data for items to be transacted can be entered or imported from other sources. Similarly, sales promotional schemes and discounts can be created.

In a large retail chains, the individual POS applications at the stores are controlled by the Shoper 9 HO application.

The main strength of the Shoper 9 POS application is its user-friendly billing system that speeds-up customer service. The POS application reduces the amount of data entry work via importable text files.

The application's extensive reporting system is useful to the store manager and management at HO. A complete interface with Tally.ERP 9 allows the posting of inventory information for the purpose of generating accounting, inventory and statutory reports.
