Your COMPAS system can
interface to c-store systems
Do you operate c-stores? Do you want to
install store-level software and interface it to your POS devices?
There are a lot of software companies out there that make great
software for c-store operations.
AIMS made a decision many years ago to stay out
of the c-store software arena and just focus on the wholesale side.
However, we also recognized that many of our customers wanted
specialized store-level software and so we made it our policy to
interface to any c-store system that a customer wanted us to and for
which such an interface was do-able. Currently we have
interfaces for several popular c-store packages, in both COMPAS
8.0 and COMPAS Commander versions. We can give you a list
if you are interested.
Our policy is to develop interfaces that our
customers want, so if we don't have the interface you need, we'll
build it provided that the c-store software provider will work
with us.
What is our definition of "interface"?
Departmental sales totals, fuel sales totals, in-store charges,
vendor invoices entered at the store level
are imported electronically into COMPAS. You have the
opportunity to review and edit anything that comes in from the
stores before it is posted to COMPAS.
Item-level reporting (if you are doing
scanning) would be retrieved from the store system (COMPAS only
keeps aggregate departmental cost and retail). Likewise, the
detail on vendor invoices would reside on the store system.
But, vendor invoices entered at the stores go to COMPAS' AP.
Store charge tickets go to COMPAS' AR. Inventory adjustments
made at the store level go to COMPAS' GL. Sales and COGS go to
COMPAS' GL. In some cases, there is Home Office retail
software that the store data flows into first for editing and
finalization. This may also be where the retail price books are
maintained.
COMPAS
Commander's Help system
Just another reminder for our COMPAS
Commander customers that your Commander system has been upgraded
with over 150 Help documents and over 30 demonstration videos.
If you have not browsed the contents of the Help system yet, carve
out some time and see what's in it. We think you will be
pleased.
