If you have a web site selling from the same stock as your store, you'll know how difficult it is to maintain and synchronise accurate stock levels at both ends. Another issue is that of processing the transaction in Figure Gemini - how do you get the sale in?
Web-ePOS is a stand-alone application that runs on your back-office PC, communicating between the website and Figure Gemini. If the store and web site are sharing the same stock, it automatically maintains stock levels on the website. It also obtains sales data from the website and passes it onto Figure Gemini for it to process and maintain stock levels. There's no need to manually process the sale. There is also functonality to allow returned items to be processed.
We currently support e-commerce web sites based on the Joomla content management system (CMS) using either Joomshopping or Platypus shopping carts and OSCommerce with the QTPro extension.
We are currently working on a extension for Magento based websites and hope to have it ready for market in the first quarter of 2012. If you would like to be kept up-to-date with its progress and availability, let us know through the contact us form and leave the rest to us.
If you have a website that is usng a different e-commerce solution we are able to provide informaton for your web site developer that will allow them to produce the necessary software for use on the website and allow it to pass sales through to Figure Gemini.
With Web-ePOS installed all you have to do is make sure the order gets sent out - gone is the burden of recording the sale within Figure Gemini and, more importantly, that of updating stock levels.
Web-ePOS is tried and tested and has been in use on a number of installations for almost 2 years now.
