Retail Pro's retail infrastructure contains new advancements and represents the most
significant progression in our application platform. The retail infrastructure contains an
amazing wealth of powerful new features and functionality, many of which were developed
from the input of actual Retail Pro end users, along with industry proven best practices.

Most notable is the embedded Oracle database engine, a superior architecture platform that delivers maximum performance and scalability not before achievable in any retail management solution. The relational database can scale virtually without limit as a business grows and changes.

Retail Pro introduces powerful new point of sale features and enhancements, to include
inventory management and purchase ordering features plus the integration of payment
solutions directly into the product. Seamless interfaces are also provided for Planning and
Business Intelligence modules. The Retail Pro retail management system is a total retail
solution package easily configurable to work with a multitude of POS hardware devices and
platforms.

All Modules Necessary for Store Operations in One System

• Integrate all your key store operations - Sales, Inventory, Purchasing, Receiving,
  Transfers, Customer Management, and Employee Management - in one product.
  
• Navigate seamlessly between components, with no need to back in/out of
  components or launch/exit other applications.
  

 

Multi-currency, Multi-language

• Manage all of your subsidiaries and stores, regardless of the currency or language
  used.
• Select any currency as your base currency and assign as many exchange rates as
  needed for each foreign currency, and the date the rate takes effect.
  
• Assign a currency to items and vendors to facilitate orders of foreign items.
  
• Import/Export Translation Files in XML Format. This enables a translator to translate
  Retail Pro using programs such as Notepad or Excel.
  

 

Architecture

• Oracle relational database scales virtually without limit as your business grows.
  
• Open design for easy integration with legacy systems to maximize existing resources.
  For example, Employee Payroll, Merchandising, ERP, or CRM.
  
• Low administration and easy installation takes the burden off your IT staff. Built-in
  Technician’s toolkit provides easy access to a variety of tools for maintaining the
  database (tuning, re-indexing, performing backup/recovery, rebuilding control and
  password files, adding data files, and checking/compiling schema).
  
• Supports SQL (Structured Query Language) and XML (extensible Markup Language),
  which provide access to standard development platforms for any custom
  development.

 

Communication Using ECM

• Exchange data between stores/stations at any time without disrupting store
  operations.
  
• Specify the types of data to exchange, and designate which station controls
  inventory.
  
• ECM encodes data to XML (extensible Markup Language) in a compressed format,
  and then transmits the data by whatever device (Internet, modem, disk, etc.) you
  select. At the target station, the data is decompressed and decoded.
  
• Exchange data with a variety of systems, including CRM, ERP, and Payroll.
