Epos and Paintballing - More Than Just Point of Sale

<h1>Epos and Paintballing - More Than Just Point of Sale</h1>Author: <a title="Andrea Percival" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/andrea-percival/70958.htm">Andrea Percival</a> Emerging technologies have always played a part in the life of this particular paintball business, not least to ensure the smooth running of general operations and to provide an optimum customer experience. In its infancy, standard issue cash registers were used in order to take and process customer payments, but this was cumbersome, and it was impossible to control stock movement and track business-critical issues such as group spend, shrinkage and customers using their own paint rather than purchasing paint on the day.

The benefits have been huge and far reaching. The introduction of the system has alleviated the stress of manually calculating and handling large amounts of money. Staff are now fully trained in the system, and are able to effectively and efficiently count the takings at the end of each working day and send detailed information to the head office in terms of stock use. All staff have access to live data as it is entered into the system - a huge advantage, as staff no longer have to wait for a till roll and fax from each centre at the end of the working day. With this streamlined process in place, the amount of paperwork has been slashed dramatically.
