Solution On Offer
Basic
- Majority of items sold in retail store carries EAN bar code which uniquely defines the product. Bar coded sticker needs to be applied on all the items which do not carry EAN code either at the supplier end or at the entry point of retail store.
- At the time of billing, the barcode tag on the item is scanned using either hand held or table mount/top bar code scanner.
- This would fetch the item code, which is the key pointer to the relevant database of that particular item which includes the price as well.
- There are chances that the item is being purchased in multiple quantities. In such a case, either bar code on one item is scanned and total quantity is entered or barcode on all the items is scanned.
- After the scanning process is over, an acknowledgement is given to the system stating the end of scanning
- A printer which is attached to the computer or POS unit generates a bill in the required format
