I haven't the luck of working in a shop w/ a good software POS (2 still used/using cash registers, 1 POS had a gas pump feature
)
I haven't used this or seen it used yet, but this is recently released:
http://www.encompossoftware.com/scuba2010.html
It's supposed to work in conjunction with Scubaocity, the online dive booking software.
A couple of local shops have gone to these. PM me for contact info if you want to chat with/feedback from some actual users.
Thanks mselenaous about mentioning our software.
We do integrate with
EncomPos Retail now so anything you do within
Scubocity or
EncomPos are synced between the two. Lets say you have a class or trip. This is posted on your online calendar where a customer can their book that trip online. Once booked their reservation is automatically syned with EncomPos Retail Scuba Calendar on your point of sale. The customers information is on the manifest for that class or trip where all you have to do is bring up the calendar click "PAY" next to their name and take their money. If you'd like to set Scubaocity to accept the payment at time of booking you can do that as well.
Ever been away from the office and would like to see what's going on. It's simple to just log into Scubocity's Back-End Office Manager and get see what's happening, book a customer, or post a note for the employees to see. It's a real time saver.
Here is a little more about our software and what it can do.
Back-End Office Manager
This password protected area is accessible via a web browser from any computer, smartphone, or tablet connect to the internet. From here you will be able to manage all aspects of your day to day dive schedule.
On-Line Calendar
A calendar showing your scheduled activities is automatically created from the information entered in the Back-End Manager. Customers have access to see your current schedule that is made active, log into their account to book a dive with you or see their personal dive log.
Here's a link to a
Guest Database Calendar
In the Back-End Manager you can submit dive conditions for dives completed and that information is also shown on the calendar giving customers a history of dive conditions of the sites you dive. This also can be post automatically in your FaceBook account.
REAL-TIME Dive Search
This
web application can be viewed on a mobile device which has internet access, but can be viewed and searched on a computer. It provides customers with searching capabilities of all the dive shops listed with
Scubaocity. The search can be ranged between two dates and limited to one dive shop. Seats available and a booking link are provided so the customer could book their dive directly with your shop.
We also have other tools for your business that might interest you.
Point Of Sale (EncomPos)
Scubaocity interfaces directly with EncomPos where customer and dive schedule information is synced between the two systems. This is very handy at checkout time. EncomPos also all the standard features a POS should have, Inventory Control, Quickbook Intergration, Trip Management but also has functions specifically designed for the dive industry. One such item is Dive Trip or Air Cards. Your customer can purchase either and it tracks the number they have used.
EnCart
Ever thought about having an eCommerce store? With EnCart you can do just that, but that's not all it does. With our unique syncing software it also can interface with EncomPos point of sale system enabling you to identify, push to website, and receive orders all without ever having to log into the website. Another great feature of this system if linked with EncomPos is that it keep current quantity on hand inventories of product listed on the web.
Each one of the systems Scubaocity, EncomPos, or EnCart can be run independently or linked together. This gives you the ability to pick which systems would best fit the needs of your business.
