Nisyst, the EPoS solutions specialist, has developed NPoS Lite, an advanced and flexible software application designed to meet the needs of smaller/single-site retailers. Intuitive and easy-to-use, the software provides such retailers with precisely the features and functionality needed to help streamline their back-office operation and offer a fast, efficient service at the point of sale. Featuring graphic menus designed to guide the operator through the transaction process, eliminate potential errors and minimise staff training time, NPoS Lite offers instant access to a range of detailed management reports such as stock, employee, sales and cash.

With 14 years experience in providing total EPoS solutions, Nisyst has built partnerships with major EPoS manufacturers including Epson, shiba and Sharp. As such, the Company is able to offer retailers a low-cost, monthly package featuring the latest EPoS hardware. For example, from £17 per week, Nisyst can supply a pre-configured system featuring its NPoS Lite software, a Chip & PIN compliant touchscreen terminal, receipt printer, barcode scanner and cash drawer.

"EPoS software is often geared to the needs of large, multi-site retailers and, as a result, smaller operations have little choice but to invest in an over specified and costly solution. We have listened to those smaller retailers and developed NPoS Lite to deliver exactly the features and functionality that they actually need," commented Dave Chunilal, technical director at Nisyst. "Implementing the latest in EPoS systems can prove expensive for many single-site operations. The opportunity to lease the complete solution for a low monthly charge enables smaller retailers to benefit from the efficiency and productivity advantages of the latest retail technology, without the associated financial outlay."

Core features of Nisyst's NPoS Lite software include supplier database, products database, print barcode labels and shelf edge tickets, multiple promotions, purchase ordering, stock control and inventory. If required, additional modules are also available with support for customer accounts, loyalty schemes, suggested ordering and pricing, and multi-currency.
