Cybertill product review

Who's it for?

Cybertill's customers are general non-food retailers like fashion, footwear, sports, furniture and also charity stores, that are independents running a single store or multiples with hundreds of stores.

The star of this unique multi-channel retail solution is its retail software system that has a number of useful functions that work across all three platforms of EPOS, ecommerce and mail order. Here's a breakdown of the features:

EPOS features :

• Point of Sale Software - Intuitive and easy to use, even for the inexperienced, and includes detailed technical descriptions and images to aid sales assistants.
• Stock Control - Full control over stock and real time visibility across all branches, so that retailers can instantly see the best selling products, the most profitable and slow moving.
• Purchase Order Processing - Set minimum and maximum stock levels for products that work with automated purchase order processing. The intuitive system can calculate the quantity of product needed and manage multiple suppliers for the same product and raise orders from suppliers that offer the best pricing. It can also share the data with your accounts system.
• Promotions Management - A seriously flexible promotional tool that lets retailers allocate promotions by all manner of options like sales channels, customer types, product categories, seasons or by any other product type, and it can bundle or unbundle special promotions for products and lines.
• Loyalty Programmes - An integrated loyalty programme called C-Loyal which can be configured as a straightforward points, discount or reward based scheme. Set up multiple loyalty cards with expiry date, use at any point of sale across all sites and channels, accrue points to specific products and specify redemption quantity, it has gift card functionality, and data is secure and can be imported or exported.
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) - Logs details of customers such as transactions, interests, returns, frequency of purchase, and links to the loyalty programme to create one easy to view record. Client information can also be imported and exported.
• Back Office / Head Office - Easy to access reports over a broadband connection and retailers have the ability to formulate their own specific reports.

Ecommerce features :

• Stand Alone Ecommerce Store or Part of a Multi-Channel Retail System - Use independently if a business is solely online or as part of the Cybertill multi-channel retail software system.

Mail order features :

• Sales Order Processing (SOP) - Take a mail order transaction at point of sale, at a call centre, at the head office or anywhere and all with real-time transparency of stock.
• Live Stock Visibility - Interrogate live stock visibility at the warehouse and other branches, and place and fulfill the order from wherever possible.
• A multitude of flexible features - Process gift vouchers or gift cards, look up postcodes, discount individual products or entire sales and communicate instantly with any or every point of sale system.

So, what are the benefits of Cybertill?

• 24/7 management and control - Head office and back office can access the Cybertill EPoS system from any device, anytime, anyplace making retailing decisions easier, more accurate and fully informed. “The customer wants control when they are not there which they have with Cybertill. They can see sales trending across the business and from this they can get the right product, in the right location, at the right time”, said Adrian.
• Better customer fulfillment - As all the sales channels (EPOS, ecommerce and mail order) operate in real time, showing up to date stock levels and customer information, retailers can manage their stock and fulfill orders more efficiently. In turn a more efficient working nature can help to strengthen customer relationships, help retailers to better understand buying behavior and therefore stay in control of their business.
• Constant sales through instant pop-up tills - There's a sudden rush on, Christmas is coming or perhaps a new store has opened and tills are in demand. No problem, temporary points of sale are easily deployed and quickly brought online, simply by connecting to the internet.
• Affordable investment - Traditional EPoS systems generally need upgrades at some point which can be pricey and hard to set up. With Cybertill's cloud based EPoS system all upgrades are free and handled by Cybertill, no hassle or expense required.
• Targeted, successful promotions - Having three channels that know exactly how the customer shops and what they like to buy, means the retailer can target its customers more effectively by offering them tailored promotions.
• Managed service - Retailers do not have to be IT experts. Phew. Cybertill manages all software upgrades every few months so that retailers get the benefit of using the latest software at all times without interruption from running their busy retail business.
• More than just an EPoS System - Cybertill's broadband status opens the door to many features than a traditional EPOS solution wouldn't have access to, such as instant messaging direct to point of sale, time and attendance management, central document file storage, and cash/safe management.
