What does retail POS software need to do?
Every shop, whether it sells stationery, cosmetics, homeware, toys or gifts, needs the same basics: a quick counter, honest stock, clear customer accounts and a true picture of the money. RMS is retail POS software that covers all four on one computer, without a monthly internet bill or a server.
Choose Other retail in the setup wizard and RMS starts simple: barcode billing, quick-sale buttons, stock and customer accounts. As the shop grows, switch on what you need in Settings, and switch it off again without losing data:
- sizes and colours, each with its own barcode and stock;
- batches and expiry dates;
- serial numbers and warranty;
- loose units such as kg, lb, litres, metres or feet, cartons to pieces, loyalty points and exchanges.
How does RMS keep the money straight?
Every sale, payment, refund, expense and tip goes through the cash book, so RMS knows what should be in the drawer. At closing, count your notes and coins and RMS shows exactly how much is short or over. Card, mobile wallet and bank transfer payments are listed separately, so they are never confused with cash, and one bill can be split across several payment types.
Customers who buy on credit get an account with a running balance and promised dates. Expenses such as rent and electricity can repeat by themselves every month.
What will the reports tell me?
RMS has 32 reports with totals, print, CSV and Excel export: sales by day, item, category and customer, purchases, expenses, what customers owe, stock value and profit and loss by month. Every total comes from one calculation, so it is the same on screen, in print and in Excel. Multi-day reports and Excel need Pro.
Is my data safe on one computer?
Yes. Backups run automatically and can be copied to a USB stick. Each user signs in with a PIN and has their own permissions, and an audit trail detects changes made outside the app.
