pcAmerica Unveils Cash Register Express - Fuel Edition
New Solution Offering is an Affordable Package that Features an Integrated Fuel Pump Software Module
pcAmerica, a leading developer of retail and restaurant point of sale software, has introduced Cash Register Express – Fuel Edition, a point of sale software package that comes bundled with an integrated fuel pump software module, to their product line.
The new solution integrates fuel-related activity, such as pre-pay and pay-at-the-pump, with the in-store point of sale system. This allows cashiers to process both fuel and non-fuel purchases from the same station.
"Our customers and resellers have been asking for a fuel-related version of Cash Register Express, so we created this package, which meets and exceeds the features you'll find in legacy gas station point of sale software," said David Gosman, Chief Executive Officer of pcAmerica. "Owners and managers will find that by selecting Fuel Edition for their business, they can process fuel, retail and food sales through a single system, enabling them to eliminate manual processes, raise sales and speed up transaction times for their customers."
More Features, Less Hassle
The new software integrates with most major pumps and card readers, allowing cashiers to seamlessly control fuel pumps, sales and other transactions from the point of sale system inside of the store.
A single point of sale station can process pre-paid and post-paid fuel transactions, pay-at-the-pump, loyalty cards, fleet (gas) cards, car wash sales, discounts and coupons. In the same transaction, cashiers can process traditional convenience store sales, including food service items such as coffee, sandwiches, prepared foods and packaged products. Sale pricing and any applicable taxes will automatically be calculated and displayed in a real-time running total.
Other features included in Fuel Edition are purchase orders, automated stock replenishment, min/max levels, back orders and direct store deliveries. The solution also offers several built-in marketing tools that will increase sales, including automatic tracking and application of rewards; such as "buy 10 coffees and get one free," frequent visitor discounts and gas card promotions.
The bundled solution gives businesses automated fuel ordering capability, which automatically schedules deliveries when the gas tanks drop below a designated level. The software contains extensive reporting options, including sales by shift or day, seasonal trends and inventory management.
Fuel Edition also comes equipped with an integrated digital signage interface that enables retailers to display advertisement and promotion information on a variety of point of sale accessories, including LCD pole displays, full-size LCD displays and pin pads.
Increase Security, Reduce Liability
Fuel Edition also adds a layer of security to gas stations and convenience stores, which is especially important for operations that are open late or 24 hours. Owners can incorporate security cameras and DVR with their point of sale system to help deter crime and theft.
Internal security features such as cash control functions to prompt cash drops throughout the day and employee security with unique ID numbers can be set to restrict access to certain functions and cuts down the opportunity for employee theft. An age verification feature helps prevent the sale of alcohol and tobacco items to minors by prompting cashiers to scan the bar code on the driver's license with the bar code reader to validate their age before making a purchase.
Cash Register Express – Fuel Edition is easy to learn and use. The system comes with a free, 90-day technical support package, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
