Congratulations! Your retail business has grown and now you have multiple locations that you want to control and collect data from. You know automation will help but you need to purchase the “right” product that will not impact the way your stores do business on a day to day basis. Never fear QuickSell HQ is here. Now you can see all of your stores sales, inventory, and customer information from your desk in your office. No long phone calls, blurry faxes, or having to visit each of your store locations to then manually input the data to get a consolidated report. All your information is just a few mouse clicks away.

The QuickSell Headquarters (HQ) Software package integrates QuickSell 2000 information from retail stores into a master database at your headquarters office. The QuickSell Remote software application manages communications and data exchange between the headquarters database and each store database using Windows NT Remote Access Services.  This straight forward software architecture allows you to easily expand from one location to dozens or even hundreds of locations.

For years, businesses have struggled to set up information systems that integrate and connect headquarters, in-store processors and point of sale systems. Lack of a comprehensive, open solution forced many to piece together closed proprietary systems that were often based on different data models and whose data access techniques vary widely. Daunted by such difficulties, some businesses made do with bare-bones systems that limited growth potential. Executivites like you cannot afford to spend disproportionate time and resources coaxing products to work together. The cost, complexity, and lack of certainty in deploying piecework solutions has slowed the growth of small and medium-sized chains for too long.

QuickSell eliminates these limitations and difficulties. One integrated, enterprise-wide, point-of-sale and retail management solution now allows all chains large or small to take advantage of low prices and technical innovations in hardware, software and Internet technologies. Now you can have and exploit the same technology that made the big chain stores “big”.

QuickSell HQ controls and tracks inventory at each location and for the enterprise. Detailed information on quantity in stock, reorder point and restock level for each item at each store is available at the head office. Automatic inventory replenishment can be performed at the head office for all stores, groups of stores or the enterprise. Replenishment can be managed individually at each store if desired.

For centrally managed operations, a master inventory database for the enterprise can be set up using QuickSell HQ, then transferred to remote stores. Information on item types, departments, categories, suppliers, substitutes, aliases, parent relationships, etc., can be replicated to all stores for consistent stock identification. Sales tax rates can be programmed individually by store, by region, or for the enterprise to accommodate local regulations.

Your Sales and Marketing team will love the ability of Quicksell to provide frequent shopper information, and collect important data on your advertising effectiveness and product promotions.

Prices can be changed or put on temporary promotional pricing at the head office and downloaded to specified store(s), regions or the enterprise.

QuickSell HQ keeps records on all cashiers and sales representatives. To compute hours and labor cost, records can be uploaded from each location. Sales commissions can be centrally computed at the head office based on sales transaction data and commission structures in sales rep profiles.

QuickSell's powerful report generator offers instant, flexible access to all data collected. This power exists at store and head office levels. With point-and-click speed, consolidated reports can be generated to obtain instant sales analyses, identify slow-moving items and see sales by store locations, days, items, departments, categories, customers or taxes. Reports and graphs may be previewed on screen, printed or exported to other Windows-based software packages.
