POS systems

Epicor has a robust POS solution that allows you to process transactions whether you’re online or offline, keep a clear electronic journal, and even capture signatures. Additionally, it seamlessly handles promotions, digital and printed receipts, and customer-facing displays to make the entire process easier for your staff and customers.

The solution works with almost any credit card payment system, but customers often save by switching to Epicor’s integrated payment processing. Retailers can offer flexible payment options to consumers including all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, and other mobile and contactless payments.

Financial management & accounting

Many POS systems have integrations with accounting software solutions but Epicor has strong financial management and accounting features built into the core product. You’re able to eliminate manual transaction entries, keep an accurate record of accounts payable and receivable, manage your employee schedules, and make better forecasts. There’s also an optional QuickBooks integration.

Inventory management

The platform also helps you maintain optimal levels of inventory so overstocking and understocking become issues of the past. You’re able to set up automatically generated purchase orders, track inventory in a central location, multi-location stock transfer, and even set prices based on costs and expected gross margin. These features are integrated with the reporting suite to give you deep insights into your business performance and the products that are most beneficial to your bottom line.

eCommerce

Epicor also comes with the ability to launch an eCommerce storefront to get in front of a wider range of customers. Sync your offline and online presence, create customer accounts, make and distribute invoices and receipts, and update your catalog with a few clicks. Retailers can also customize their online catalog and offer easy-to-use search features, simple purchase tools, and end-to-end payment processing capabilities for their consumers. 

Offline mode

Epicor supports offline mode. That means that even if the power goes down or you don’t have an internet connection, your system won’t get knocked out. Most POS software offers some sort of offline mode, but Epicor goes further than most. You retain most functionality, and you won’t lose information or important processes while you wait to get back online. Offline transactions will be automatically uploaded once you’re back online.

Make better decisions with real-time data

With Epicor Retail Solutions, you can monitor your business in real-time with just a simple click, are able to drill deeper into your numbers instantly, and can also choose to run full reports. The system tracks your store activity, down to which clerk ran each transaction.
