We are very excited to have added Elias Market to our circle. Elias Market has two specialty food stores, located in Beth and Allentown PA, where among other things they sell amazing produce.
We were brought in by Andy from Andy Bednar’s Point of Sale to help improve the system at the store. The customer uses Datasym 650 cash registers and with their growing business needed a better way to maintain their ever-changing prices. They will be able to maintain both stores from their main location.
Tina and I are huge consumers of produce, we use a Vitamix to make green shakes for breakfast every day. These shakes contain fruits and vegetables and truly offer noticeable health benefits. We go to lots of different stores to get the ingredients (right now its Green Grocer (IRSI customer) Aldi, Price Chopper (one of our local chains of grocery stores) and Walmart). If we lived anywhere near Elias we would only go there for sure. Not only do they carry an amazing variety of produce but also beautiful meats and specialty items.
If you sell Cigarettes in your Store, you are very familiar with price increases and tax hikes. Recently the Illinois General Assembly raised the state cigarette tax from $1 to $1.98 per pack. The tax hike goes into effect June 24, 2012.
The Group Price Change feature in backOffice™ Software is the perfect tool for these “across the board” price increases. This PER PACK and PER CARTON increase can be done with a few keystrokes instead of hours or days adjusting each individual product.
If you are in a nearby State and are seeing an increase in sales because of this tax hike, “Orders Based on Sales” is a great way to keep your shelves stocked. Group Price Change is one of the many tools that backOffice™ Software provides to help make your Store successful.
“Three things are certain: Death, taxes and lost data. Guess which has occurred?” ~ David Dixon
Years ago my Dentist said ”You don’t have to floss all of your teeth, just the ones you want to keep.”* Your data files are the same way. Although a full system backup is recommended, backed up DATA files are a must. Insight Retail Softwarehas a diversified group of customers ranging from smaller Mom and Pop Stores to larger chains of stores. The common thread between Big Stores, Little Stores, Liquor Stores, Convenience Stores, Hospital Gift Shops, Retail Stores, Beauty Supply or Flea Markets is valuable computer data.
Doesn’t matter if you are using Gilbarco Passport, VeriFone Ruby or Sapphire, Datasym, Sam4S [for example] backOffice™ Software’s “SCHEDULER” will allow you to automatically save a copy of your very valuable backOffice™ data.
My Monday morning advice is: Floss your teeth and backup your computer!

QR Codes (Quick Response Codes) are popping up everywhere these days. QR Codes storing addresses and URL’s may appear in restaurant menus, magazines, buses, business cards, real estate signs or on almost any object about which users might need information. Beginning mid-May you will start to see QR Codes on your cigarette packages. If you are a smoker this could be a good thing. Scanned with your iPhone, the QR code could provide product information or perhaps a place to smoke? But if you are a Retailer the QR code may provide a headache since the QR code is located next to the Barcode (UPC). Initial testing has shown that 2D Image Scanners can read the QR code instead of the barcode (at the register) which has sent some POS devices to the internet and halts the sale. It is also possible that reading the QR code will result in a “product not found” error message. 1D scanners do not read QR codes, they will work with no problem and no headache. 2D scanners can work properly after a setting adjustment. Good luck out there!
We are proud to announce the first successful CANADIAN ESSOinstall of backOffice™ Software with Gilbarco Passport POS at Pemberton Esso in Pemberton BC Canada! We look forward to many more Canadian installs.
