Advanced Retail Management Systems offers comprehensive training
courses that help you get the most from your Point of Sale System. Training topics range from
entry level to advanced: inventory entry, purchasing-receiving, point-of-sale to merchandising
and advanced administration. Our certified trainers have extensive retail and management experience.
Training topics and solutions are presented in a ’real-world’ fashion typically using a customer’s data.
For initial training, we offer two types of scheduling for projects
based on your needs. Structured Projects are designed for customers that have a fixed date to ’go live’
(be fully operational using point-of-sale) or for customers that are doing an inventory conversion that
requires a fixed implementation schedule. A Flexible Project is designed for customers that need the
basic training to get started entering Inventory but want the flexibility of scheduling dates for additional
training sessions based on their company’s progress.
We also offer on-going or refresher training courses to quickly bring
new employees up to speed and to ensure that infrequent activities such as physical inventories go smoothly.
On-going training courses are organized in collegiate fashion making it easy to choose the best topics for
your needs. Click here to view a sample training catalog.
Setting up a training appointment can be done online or as easy as calling
us at 303-738-1800 or emailing us at Training@Armsys.com.
Offline Mode
Workstations accessing Retail Pro
over a network depend on the program and data
files stored on the network server or master
workstation. To address the issue of a server
failure, Retail Pro’s Offline Mode allows Point
Of Sale stations to continue to make sales. Once
the server or master workstation is running
again the data is synchronized with the server
or workstation.
Price Cost Manager
Retailers often need to change
merchandise prices or costs for things like
sales events or to increase sales of slow moving
merchandise. Using Price Manager you can
conveniently mark up or mark down the prices or
cost of selected items or styles. The price
change can take effect immediately or at a
future date, former prices can be restored, if
needed.
Report Groups
It is likely that you always run
certain reports at a given time or when looking
for particular information. The report group
feature lets you group such reports and run them
as a batch, therefore making the process much
more convenient. Additionally, report groups can
be scheduled to run automatically through Retail
Pro’s scheduler.The
many report categories were designed to assist
you with your business making decisions. For
example, journals typically report information
from history and order documents on a document
by document basis. Journals can chronicle your
sales, receiving, and transfer history as well
as your current orders.
Journals can be targeted in
many ways, you can generate a journal that
includes only cancelled receipts or one that
reports only layaways that are past due. There
are 3 other types of reports; Merchandise, List
and Summaries. Call us to find out more.
ARMS
E-mail Training
This will allow you to send
information between stores without Internet
e-mail. You may use it to remind locations about
upcoming sales, price changes or any other
important information.
Auto
Utilities
Once trained on this feature of
Retail Pro you can use it to automate many of
your daily functions. Using at least 6 months of
sales history you can use Auto Min/Max to have
the system suggest minimum and maximum stock
levels based upon sales history. Having min/max
levels defined allows you to use Auto Purchase
Orders and Auto Transfer Orders, which ends the
need for cycle counts.
Document Designer
Anything that can be printed from
Retail Pro can be customized to meet your needs.
You can add graphics to your receipts, your
store name to your price tags or you can hard
code instructions to your vendors on your
Purchase Orders, just to name a few.
Data
Verification System
The data files in Retail Pro act in
many ways as a large database. Every database
requires some degree of administration and
requires a data administration tool for that
purpose. Over time inconsistencies, errors and
data corruption accumulates in all databases.
Data Verification System (DVS) is used as Retail
Pro’s database administration tool. DVS is a
very powerful tool that should not be used
without proper training.
Kits
and Packages
Many retailers that should be using
this feature of Retail Pro are not using it.
Kits and packages offers two alternative methods
for grouping, discounting and selling items
together as a set.
E-Commerce Integration Solution (ECI)
The Retail Pro ECI Merchandiser
enables a retailer the ability to exchange data
between Retail Pro and their web store. Through
this exchange of data it posts merchandise to
the web store and brings web purchases directly
into Retail Pro as sales orders, where they can
be processed and fulfilled normally.
Without e-store integration,
the retailer is required to maintain separate
inventories, customer lists and orders. This
duplication of efforts costs time and money and
is error prone.
Stock
Audit Tool
This is a set of steps for verifying
inventory values, making necessary corrections
and then reprocessing inventory so that
inventory values and the transactional document
history are aligned. This helps ensure that
financial documents and tax statements are
prepared in a timely and accurate manner. It
makes it possible to maintain accurate margins
and judge profitability as well as giving you
the confidence to make intelligent purchasing
decisions.
Physical Inventory
Using this tool you are able to get
an actual count of the merchandise that is in
stock. PI counts are then used to confirm or
correct the On-Hand quantities in the inventory
file. You can also record counts for a
multi-store location such as a warehouse, start
physical inventory files for multiple locations,
read current On-Hand values from inventory, read
and edit counts before updating inventory,
filter information while reviewing and much
more.
