Reasons hundreds of retailers love Opus Retail Manager

We are often asked why we don’t make our solution cloud based. Cloud systems are ideal for certain markets. For example, a cafe with a relatively small number of products. Their requirements can be met with tablet, receipt printer drawer in conjunction with a Cloud system, all for a relatively low cost. However, we believe that the more complex the retailer requirements the less suitable Cloud systems are.

Cloud system is that it requires a connection to the internet. If the internet connection is lost for any reason, then the system must go into ‘local’ mode to allow the users to trade. Then it must revert to normal mode once the internet connection is available again. From our experience in speaking to users of these systems this process is rarely seamless.

Retail Manager takes the opposite approach. Each till is fully self-sufficient in that it doesn’t need an internet connection or even a Local Area Network connection in order to function. Even if all around it has failed the tills will function & the retailer can continue to trade. In our experience this is the logical way for an EPOS system with multiple tills to function. Sales data is stored locally & transferred seamlessly to Back Office & then up to Head Office in a multi-location environment.

Utilising the power of Opus Retail Manager, our aim is to help reduce your stock holdings by a minimum of 10%, increase your margin by a minimum of 2.5%, provide better visibility, streamline business operations and cut operational costs.

One of our major selling points is that we provide bespoke software customizations at an affordable price for our clients. In our market we typically find that customers do not have the budget to invest in a bespoke system but nevertheless have their own “unique” requirements. We offer an “off the shelf” system but also, we see ourselves as providing a solution for the customer rather than simply selling them a system. Over the years we have developed many add-ons for customers in the form of additional modules and interfaces etc. We believe we can provide much more flexibility in this regard than Cloud systems would be able to-(as we own all IP on the software).

Opus Software is constantly evolving, our customers would benefit from this by getting all the latest features as required. The key to Opus’s success lies with its ongoing investment in Research and Development and Training to keep our Software products and services and staff world class. Services range from specifying client requirements to providing custom modifications, system implementation, training with a special emphasis on after-sales support so our customers can get the most from their system.
