seSales

seSales Publisher's Description:
seSales is a small business point of sale (POS) application that was designed from the ground up exclusively for Apple's Macintosh OS X. This unique POS system is designed with an efficient keyboard workflow for fast and accurate order processing. It can also track in store credit and utilize PayPal as your credit card clearing house.

Simply Elegant Sales can cache all of the credit card transactions and do a bulk submission at the end of the day or week. This permits the business owner to reduce costs that are generally associated with credit card processing, such as those more...at trade shows or conventions. The POS system also provides standard invoice processing, inventory tracking, purchase order management, and employee hour monitoring. Simply Elegant Sales also offers automatic discounts for sales as well as layaways, gift cards and store credit.

Simply Elegant Sales represents a completely native Cocoa solution designed exclusively for OS X, with a primary focus of delivering a fast and accurate check-out experience for the end customer. The workflow for invoice processing is streamlined to work completely via keyboard commands or by mouse menus. A cashier can choose the most efficient process, avoiding needless delays while searching through cascading menus to find the correct option for the customer's order. Simply Elegant Sales has very modest hardware requirements. If your Macintosh is capable of running OS X 10.4 then it is more than sufficient to run Simply Elegant Sales smoothly.

WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.4:

Enhancements

* Inventory auto archive - It is now possible to flag an inventory item for automatic archival. When the item runs out of stock, seSales will automatically flag it as archived.
* Customer Notes - Customer notes have been added to the customer management section of seSales. It is now possible to add as many notes to a customer record as needed and they are recorded by the date entered.
* Default Invoice Note - In a company's properties, a default invoice note can be set. Once set, it will display on every invoice that does not have a more...custom note defined.
* Admin approval of instant discounts - In a company's properties it is possible to set a flag that will require admin approval on all instant discounts when employee management has been activated.
* Add Magnetic Card Reader Panel - If you have a USB magnetic card reader, seSales can now utilize it for reading gift cards and credit cards.
* Rental Rate Multiplier - Rental rates can now be defined with multiple units such as $5.00 per 3 hours if desired.
* Default Rental Rate - For all rentals, a default can be set. This default will be used in the column display of the main window in item management.
* Default Profit - A default profit percentage can be set in the company's properties. Once set any new items added will use this setting to calculate either the retail price or the vendor price. This calculated price can still be overridden.
* Purchase Units - In the vendor management window, it is now possible to define bulk purchases from a vendor. For instance, when a box of candy bars are purchased as a single unit from the vendor but sold as multiple units, this can now be properly displayed and handled in the vendor management window.
* Rental Renewal Invoices - The handling of rental renewals has been altered. When a rental is renewed it now uses a new invoice instead of re-using the existing invoice.
* Employee Hours - In the employee management window, it is possible to edit the hours entered by an employee.
* Customizable Payment Options - In the properties window, it is now possible to add additional payment options in addition to the existing options.
* Rental Rate Display - The item management window can now display the rental rate as an optional column.
* Restricted Items - A new palette has been added to the item management window which allows the definition of item restrictions. These item restrictions can be a simple confirmation window or can require the cashier to input a value such as a birth date or driver's license number.
* Address Book Syncing - Address Book syncing is now disabled by default and can be re-enabled in the properties window.

Reports
