CSS has custom designed our POS system to be flexible, user friendly and most of all cost effective. This system is multi-performing and provides all the functions you would expect from any fully integrated POS system. Whether you have ten stores and need a hundred state of the art cash registers with full scanning and display capabilities or one store with a couple cash drawers with terminals, our POS software will provide for all of your current needs and give you plenty of room for future growth.

User Defined Transaction Codes
Our retail point of sales system is designed to give you all the flexibility you need by offering you a full compliment of system and user-defined transaction codes that can be used to handle any type of retail transaction. Using these powerful transaction codes will allow you to customized the POS system to your specific needs. Users can setup transaction codes to perform any function inside the POS system as well as transaction codes that will take them to any other programs within the system. All sales, inventory and general ledger reporting can be tracked by transaction codes.


Integrated Credit Card Processing
For customers requiring interactive credit card and debit card processing during retail sales, CSS offers our POS system with a fully integrated credit card processing software option. Our credit card software will provide quick authorization and approvals of any type of credit or debit card in an online environment. This feature is optional and is not required to be purchased to use our POS system.

Having trouble meeting the new government requirements for accepting and storing customer credit card numbers? With all the new laws concerning the electronic tracking and storing of consumer credit cards, many companies are in danger of receiving large fines or other penalties for failing to meet all government requirements. Our credit card software lets you collect and store any number of credit cards for a customer. The system will store all credit card information using the encryption methods required by the government. Your customer's credit cards are safe with this system.

Customer and Non-Customer Processing
The POS system is integrated with the accounts receivable system to provide two types of retail sales processing. You may choose between customer-based or non-customer based retail sales processing. The POS system will allow any number of payments and payment types to be made on any transactions. Users can setup new customers, take a payment on account, add money to a gift card, setup a layaway or view a customers account history all from inside the POS program. The POS is fully integrated with our general ledger system and will make all general ledger entries automatically. The system will allow sales tracking in the general ledger by item number, item category, item class or by transaction code. General ledger entries can be posted in summary or detail format.

Rental Contracts, Maintenance Contracts and Repair Orders
This POS system comes with the ability to setup rental contracts for customers wanting to allow rent-to-rent or rent to own contracts. Contracts can be created with user defined terms and payment methods. Recurring billing can be setup for monthly billing. Credit card payments can be generated automatically as well. The system will track all payments and can add late fess or other charges to contracts if needed. There is a rental credit facility to allow rental credit accumulation and application. Users can setup warranty or maintenance contracts for any purchased item. Maintenance contracts can be setup for automatic monthly billing and credit card payments if desired. The POS system has a built in repair order system that is capable of taking in items to be repaired, printing repair orders and allowing repair parts and labor to be tracked through the repair process.

Pricing and Licensing Options

Software Licensing
Our POS system is licensed as a completely integrated system that includes most of our other software modules. To keep our system affordable to the smaller retail clients needing only a few POS stations, CSS charges a one time licensing fee for our POS system based on the processor size of your iSeries/AS400. This license fee includes up to fifteen POS retail stations. Larger clients needing additional POS stations may purchase additions stations in lots of fifteen. This license fee is for software only and does not include any equipment.

Hardware Pricing
Our POS software is designed to work with many different types of cash registers, printers, scanners and display stations. If you already have all your hardware give us a call, we may be able to save you money by using your existing equipment. For clients needing to purchase cash registers, credit card receipt printers or other POS equipment, CSS can provide you the hardware that works best with our software. All hardware is quoted based on your specific needs.

Leasing Option
Purchasing a POS system is a major investment for any company. Choosing the right software may be critical to your company’s success. CSS knows what a big decision this is and can help in several different ways. CSS offers two different leasing options for our POS system.

Lease to Own For customers that wanting to spread the cost of the POS system over several years we offer a standard 3,4,5 year lease option that will allow you to get into our system with a minimum of initial expense. You may include the POS software, cash registers or even a new iSeries server. When the lease is over you own the equipment.

Standard Lease For customers that are looking for a temporary POS system or want to test drive our system before buying it, CSS offers our standard leasing option. You may choose a one to five year lease option that will provide all the software and equipment you need to run a full retail point of sale system. When the lease is up you return the equipment. CSS will allow a substantial rent credit for all clients' wishing to purchase the system once their lease is up. This will give you the peace of mind of knowing you're not stuck with something that you don’t like.
