Retail & office business program

RETAIL is a Times Integrator ERP module designed for centralized management of retail outlets, making your business even more efficient. It consists of a back-office section (administrative operations) and a point-of-sale (POS) section. These two parts operate independently but are fully integrated, allowing the POS to function autonomously even in the event of a lost connection to headquarters. It is important to note that all changes are entered in the back-office module and are either transferred to the POS on demand or automatically during daily data updates. All new data has an effective date, meaning it can be updated and sent to the POS but only applied at a future date. The module fully meets the needs of small, medium, and large users across various industry verticals, with specific features configured through parameterization in agreement with the client.

In addition to core functionalities, operator rights can be defined by password both vertically (modules, menus, buttons) and horizontally (stores). The application also supports multilingual functionality (screens, master data, reports), defined at the operator level. With over 900 combinations of reports and recaps, advanced queries can be created for easier data searches. The module can also integrate with other applications, such as EDI (electronic document exchange with other entities), FINA e-invoice, connections to FTPOS terminals of various banks, and more.

SHORT LIST OF FUNCTIONALITIES:

Master Data
These are the fundamental records for company operations. Basic master data entry includes: product categories (trade goods, consignment goods, services, packaging), units of measure, item groups and subgroups, packaging types, reporting units of measure, item parameters, declarations, tariff codes, partners, payment methods, stores, cash registers, countries, company data, cost centers, etc.

Inbound Documents in TI ERP include: Goods Receipt, Consignment Goods Receipt, Wholesale Receipt, Wholesale to Retail Receipt, Opening Balance, Surplus Report, Code Replacement Report, Classifier Replacement Report, Reversal (applies to all inbound documents), and printing of all inbound documents.

Outbound Documents in TI ERP include: Retail Invoice, Wholesale Invoice, Proforma Invoice, Advance Invoice, Advance Invoice Reversal, Return to Supplier, Return to Consignment, Transfer between stores, Internal Consumption Issuance, Return to Wholesale, Write-off, Shortage Report, and reversal of all listed documents. Printing of all outbound documents is supported.

Price Change Reports for purchase and retail prices can be generated by various criteria: entire inventory, product group, partner, tariff code, catalog, document, individual item, Excel or CSV.

Predefined Calculations serve as a supporting table for managing purchase and retail prices. The table includes product, partner, currency, purchase price, margin, and retail price, with the option to include additional costs.

Discounts in retail can be predefined in the back-office, giving full control to the user and preventing sales staff from manipulating data. Discounts can be defined for: product, store, product group, payment method, loyalty card (club member), date range, time range, day of the week. After the discount expiration date, discounts automatically become inactive.

Fiscalization in TI ERP modules can be executed through multiple options. At the POS, the invoice is fiscalized upon printing. If internet is unavailable at that moment, the invoice remains non-fiscalized but is still legally valid with ZKI. At POS closure, the program alerts the user of any non-fiscalized invoices and attempts to fiscalize them. If fiscalization fails (internet issue), invoices are transferred to the back-office, where manual post-fiscalization can be performed. There is also an automatic fiscalization option, running daily including weekends and holidays.

Inventory can be conducted unlimited times, either as a control check of certain product groups or once a year as required by law. Options include manual entry of inventory levels, generation of count lists, or book stock status. Based on entered inventory, surplus or shortage reports and write-offs (within or outside regulations) can be generated. After closing inventory, various accounting reports can be printed. For faster processing, portable barcode scanners with Android OS and the TI 2GO app can be used.

Consignment Management within retail allows recording, selling, and de-registering of consignment goods.

Classifiers are used for tracking products by additional attributes (color, size, etc.).

Loyalty Programs are a functionality within TI ERP for monitoring customer loyalty. Based on customer data and parameters, options include: automatic discount applied at POS for a specific customer, or loyalty points accumulation during purchases, which can later be redeemed.

Marketing Campaigns are special offers defined by various parameters, e.g., buy one get one free, buy two and get the third at a predefined discount, etc.

Gift Vouchers are prepaid cards sold in stores with a set value. Importantly, vouchers purchased in one store can be redeemed in another.

POS Integration with People Counters is a functionality connecting the TI ERP POS with customer-traffic counting devices in the store.

Automatic Card Payment Authorization enables faster transaction processing and prevents cashier errors when entering card details.
