Point of Sale
has become a standard software application for retail stores. With the low cost of personal computers and small networks, every store has the ability to use the same kind of management tools that large stores have had for years.
POS 2200 is the name given to a collection of point of sale software tools developed by MMCC. POS-2200 is NOT a single software package. MMCC's specialty is tailoring software to meet the unique needs of clients. Those clients don't want to use the same package that their competitors use if it means that they lose their advantage. MMCC lets the client keep their edge with software that does things their way!
All POS 2200 clients get the advantage of the same robust, tested and proven software as the internal workings of their system. The database and many of the procedures are common to everyone, but the outside, the skin, the user interface often looks completely different from client to client.
POS 2200
started as a small retail point-of-sale computer software package. The system was designed for gift shops and similar retail establishments with a focus on consignment craft stores. Even in that early version, the software was built on a foundation of other proven software in MMCC's library.
As a point-of-sale system the software supports cash drawers, scanners, receipt printers and related equipment. As a data processing system, the software supports a wide range of management reports and tools. Features include inventory control, customer mailing lists, preferred customer cards, purchasing, sales analysis and many other things normally found only in large software package.
Variations of POS 2200 have been tailored for retail stores, consignment stores, craft malls, the resort industry, resturants. One variant of the system is used to manage ad sales for an "auto trader" style magazine and includes a complete pre-press module for sending a finished magazine to the printer. The most unusual variation is a hunting license lottery system for a National Wildlife Refuge.
POS-2200's low cost and modest hardware requirements make this software affordable for small shops! The robust features and traditional data processing methods make it a very flexible platform on which to build systems for large stores and clients with highly specialized needs.
POS 2200 software is written using the Visual PL/B software development suite. Visual PL/B is based on the ANSI Standard PL/B Language. The software will run on all Windows 98 and later systems. PL/B programs also run on most variants of Linus and UNIX. POS 2200 is fully network aware and can be run in both local and wide area networks. Internet based options are available and many clients use blended desktop and internet environments.
