Sorex Sells™ is now for sale - completely. As we move on to other projects, we want to ensure that our customers
continue to get support and that our hard work at putting together a rather capapble package doesn't go completely to waste. Please contact us by e-mail at info@sorexsoftware.com for questions.
Sorex Software is currently developing and marketing a customizable
Point of Sale System called
 ®Sorex Sells! ® is aimed at the small to medium retail market.
We have installations with 1 till and installations with 6 or more. In general it will easily support
up to 20 tills in a production environment. Since the tills themselves sell independently of the
server, there is no loss in system performance when more tills are added.
Sells! ® is fast and efficient at the point of sale. One of our clients
recently took a single till offsite to a trade fair and completed over 2100 transactions in 3 eight-hour days. That's
less than 45 seconds per transaction - on average. Granted they had three people
working flat-out in order to get enough product past the till to do that.
When the till was brought back and
connected to the store network it was automatically welcomed back into the group of tills, its
sales were automatically updated and recorded in the system database.
Sorex Sells! ® e-Commerce module is now driving two diverse business sites:
Some features of Sorex Sells! ® include:
Redundant Client-Server Design
- A server module that can run on any computer in the store collects sales
information from all the Tills (Cash Registers) at specified times or time
intervals.
- The Tills can operate without this server for an indeterminate length
of time, resolving worries about hardware and network failures.
- The Tills each have a copy of the entire product database, they can be taken
offsite and remain fully functional. This is a great feature for selling at
fairs and trade shows. When the system is brought back to the store the
server will automatically update it with new products and transfer all of the
sales information.
- There is no realistic limit for the number of different products; one client has
over 16 000 products in their database.
Complete Inventory Tracking and Control
- Sorex Sells! ® maintains inventory by selling the oldest items first (FIFO)
and tracks the average cost of goods by maintaining a weighted average of the costs
of all unsold items.
- Complete receiving and ordering system gives the option to pick products from
multiple vendors and build multiple orders at once without searching.
- Settable inventory triggers to suggest reordering of products when the inventory
levels fall below a specified threshold.
Web Ready
- Sells! ® is ready for deployment in e-Commerce situations.
- It can be fully integrated
with the store at the same time. This means that your inventory levels and all your
products can be automatically reflected on
all fronts.
- Edelweiss Imports is an example
of a site that's driven by Sells! ®.
Designed for Point Of Sale
- Sells! ® is not an add-on to an accounting package. It was written
from the beginning as a point of sale system. This means that it helps you
do what you want to do: Sell!
- You can choose to sell products by as many different SKUs or codes as you'd like. This
makes it easy for a clerk to process a sale if products have several barcodes.
- Easy full text searching for products at the till. No guessing or yelling across the
store to try to figure out what code to use for a product.
- 35 easy to program and use shortcut keys for selling product. You can associate
different quantities and discounts with the same product across different shortcuts.
- Supports multiple currencies throughout.
- Supports multiple payment (tender) forms. You can choose to separate debit cards and credit cards
and U.S. cash or Canadian cash.
- Default quantities for products - some things almost always come in 6 packs, but you can
sell only 3 if you want.
- Easy to apply discounts, per product, per sale, by customer etc.
- Different prices per product for different customer groups makes it
possible to support wholesale selling.
- Runs on standard Windows/Intel PCs with modern processors (minimum specs coming soon).
- Uses standard POS printers, display poles and cash drawers.
- Easily changed header and footer on the till receipt, easily changed greeting on
the display pole.
Security, Groups and Accounts
- Complete security model allows you to create groups of users and determine
what features they can use.
- Comes with default groups such as Owners, Managers, Cashiers and Customers.
- Features are separated at a low level, like:
- Selling (you might not let the Customers sell, for example)
- Generate reports (you might not want your Cashiers to see the cost of inventory)
- Change exchange rates
- Change accounts
- Change accounts based on seniority (Managers probably shouldn't excommunicate owners)
- Change groups
- Users/accounts can be in multiple groups (a Manager can be a Cashier and a Customer).
- Full password protection.
- Passwords can be left blank for cashiers, but only for selling.
Microsoft Access or
PostgreSQL Server Module
- For larger installations (4 or more Tills) we recommend PostgreSQL
as a robust and nimble server-side database.
- Sorex Sells! ® is also designed to work in
settings using file sharing with Microsoft Access
databases for smaller stores
that don't need the extra power and features of PostgreSQL.
