LivePOS Releases Version 5.5 with Cloud Features Focusing on Enterprise and Franchise Stores

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- LivePOS, the San Diego-based leader in enterprise cloud-based retail solutions, has launched version 5.5 of their wildly successful software.  This version features more customization options than ever before, arming franchisees and enterprise users with everything they need to run a booming retail store, be it a single location or a far-flung empire.

Among a long list of new Enterprise specific features, the newly added Dynamic Kits option was originally designed to accommodate a LivePOS merchant operating a large national chain. The nature of the business encouraged shoppers to simply walk around the store and pick any product they want.  The problem was the delay in check-out time because a large number of coupons had to be manually applied at the point of sale.  This created long lines and customer frustration.

With the introduction of the new Kits & Packages module, all of this is now a thing of the past.  Shoppers can now roam the store, selecting any product(s) they want.  At the point of sale, the LivePOS system will automatically bundle all appropriate random products into a kit, and apply the appropriate discount, all without the need to apply any manually coupons or discounts.

Another noticeable upgrade in this version enables retailers to create coupons that can be redeemed only on specific items or categories. LivePOS merchants can now utilize two types of coupons, per-item coupon and per-sale coupon.  The system will allow the merchant to ring these coupons on top of the other, giving franchisees the ability to provide their own discount in addition to the corporate- created coupons.

The new CRM has improved on an already powerful tool by cleaning up the customer information page, making important customer-centric statistics like total purchases and number of transactions more visible to retailers.  A cleaner customer result interface simplifies the display for customer look ups, which now allow searches by customer name, as well as email or phone number, helping retailers and franchisees better connect with customers.

Other additions include full support for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems, support for a long list of 3” receipt printers, and a new partnership with the hardware manufacturer FEC, makers of the AerPOS POS unit.
