ECRS's optional Digital Video Recorder (DVR) is completely integrated with CATAPULT, enabling users to search surveillance footage using a wide range of point-of-sale
transaction criteria for the search parameters, including Voids, All Voids, Refunds, specific inventory items, and more. The ECRS DVR allows you to audit employee transactions and monitor customer service procedures
from any remote location with internet access, providing retailer operators a new level of store security and a welcome peace of mind.
Wireless Hand-Held Terminals (HHTs) greatly simplify procedures involved with inventory tracking.
With a mobile, browser-based HHT powered by Web CATAPULTTM, an employee takes the terminal to the loading dock or through the aisles to quickly and accurately scan items. Web Catapult prompts for the appropriate input and uploads the data to the Catapult database. If there is an item on your shelf that needs the price updated, a user can scan the item with the HHT, enter a new price, and seconds later the new price rings up at the checkout counter. Imagine finding an item out of stock, scanning the shelf tag to find out if there are any more on hand, and if not, starting a Purchase Order on the fly without leaving the aisle.
CATAPULT generates up-to-the-second reports for every area of your business, including inventory
levels, current sales, and historic sales. Users can immediately determine what quantities are on
hand, on order, and sold, as well as ascertain costs, profits, and all data critical for staying
competitive and profitable.
CATAPULT identifies which products are selling and how well your stores are performing. Know what
your net margins are for any number of parameters, including by item, by brand, or by supplier.
CATAPULT will report up-to-the-second which items are wasting precious space, as well as which are
flying off the shelves, so that you can make informed and confident business decisions.
CATAPULT tracks every promotion that is run at any store location and
presents that data in easy-to-read charts and graphs. This allows you to evaluate which promotions are the most profitable, as well as which ones have been ineffective. CATAPULT’s Promotion Management helps you control stock
movement more efficiently, reducing the time and complexity involved with running effective
promotions.
With a CATAPULT's Customer Interface Display you can drive sales and impulse buying in the checkout
lanes. This digital customer billboard dynamically displays advertising alongside the customer’s live transaction
journal, and is fully customizable,
including color, image, and font control.
CATAPULT enables a very versatile and convenient signature capture system. With signature capture,
you can track and store vital information digitally, including credit and debit card signatures, as well as EBT. This greatly
reduces query time when users are looking for specific information on transactions when disputes
arise. CATAPULT's electronic signature capture also saves on the physical storage space required by systems
that use paper receipts, and provides faster customer checkout.
