An EPOS system such as Retail Manager are used in retail environments such as Department stores, bars, boutiques and General Retail stores. These systems are automated in nature and are designed to read barcodes. These barcodes are designed to submit pricing info to the till as well as reduce the stock quantity when a sale is made.

This helps to maintain the good image of the business because it ensures that customers are not mistakenly overcharged. In addition, retail systems ensure that businesses do not lose money in the event of an accidental undercharge by an employee. These occurrences usually happen when an employee adds up a number of items wrong or the wrong price is entered into the system.
Another benefit of using an EPOS system is that employees can be monitored easily and conveniently. Employees are identified by their own unique code. What this means is that each and every transaction that takes place on the system can be tracked to one individual employee. This helps companies when it comes to staff competition and motivation because it helps determine top employees in the areas of speed, turnover and sales. This can also be beneficial when determining if any employees may need additional training.
