Back Office Software for Verifone Ruby, Topaz or Sapphire

May 7, 2012

I have a few questions before suggesting a back office package for your C-Store.

  1. Does your C-Store use a Verifone Ruby or Sapphire?
  2. Do you want back office software but think it’s too expensive?
  3. Would you like to own your software instead of renting your software?
  4. Are you using Ruby Manager but want something better and more affordable?
  5. Would you like Pricebook and Reporting capabilities only?
  6. Would you like the option of starting with Pricebook and Reporting but would like to add Inventory at a later date?
  7. Would you like to have a single database but operate multiple stores without having to do Database Synchronization?
  8. Do you want 64 bit software for your 64 bit operating system for better performance?
  9.  Would you like to have great database performance and reliability with the latest Microsoft SQL Server 2012?
  10. Would you like to have your current pricebook file converted saving weeks of data entry – at NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE?

If you answered YES to any of these questions, we have good news for you.  backOffice™ Software from Insight Retail Software is the perfect fit with the perfect price.  It’s as easy as 1 – 2 – 3.  Give us a call today at 518-633-4111 x 1


QR Codes on Cigarette Packs begin Mid May – Be Prepared

April 25, 2012

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!
