January 2016 Newsletter

January 22, 2016 By CoPOS Webmaster

Welcome to the CoPOS Newsletter. Here you can find the latest on all things CoPOS.

Newsletter Spotlight

New Release 

CoPOS is excited to announce the release of CoPOS v3.6.5B. Although this was primarily a maintenance release necessitated by a bug related to printing sale tags, CoPOS took the opportunity to include a host of simple but powerful new features:

  1. A cashier can now do a return while in the middle of a sales transaction. CoPOS provides the ability to go to the return option while ringing up items. After processing the return, the cashier can continue with the sales transaction.
  1. CoPOS now allows the use of coupons that are applied to the entire sales basket. No more need to apply a coupon to a certain item. These store-wide coupons can even be set up to increase in value as the basket size increases.
  1. Deli managers can now import their ingredients en masse and also download them from the Costguard deli cost and management software (no affiliation with CoPOS).
  1. Finally, CoPOS added the ability to create, delete, edit and import lists. Managers and membership coordinators can now print Out-of-Stock tags to help keep your customers informed as to when a product is due back in the store. This feature is very basic at the moment, but we have plans to integrate it with the supplier information and trucking schedules to make this more automatic.

Periodic Inventory and CoSAT

Periodic inventory only happens a handful of times a year and can come with its own set of problems. Your CoSAT shouldn’t be one of them. To ensure that it is in good working order, it should be tested no less than one (1) full week before the co-op intends to conduct inventory. This will give everyone involved the time to fix things if they are broken and piece of mind if everything is working right. Another way to ensure that your CoSAT laptop is in working order is to use it more often.

Pricing and label printing on the CoSAT has been improved. There is now the ability to mark items as Out-of-Stock and print Out-of-Stock tags directly from the CoSAT.

REMEMBER: CoSATs that require Zip disks and a CoPOS DOS server are not supported by CoPOS.

Testimonials

Growing up with technology and touchscreens, I was a little intimidated by the basic format [of the CoPOS system], but after taking a short look, and getting the opportunity to explore the system, I quickly fell in love with its simple and straightforward set-up.
