ExpressLane POS is a highly flexible and versatile Point of Sale software solution for small to medium sized Australian retailers.
ExpressLane POS provides unparalleled ease of use whilst also being extremely powerful and fast.
ExpressLane POS has been designed with the independent retailer in mind but easily scales to accommodate multiple terminals and multiple stores.
ExpressLane POS can run fully standalone (it includes extensive stock control, debtors, creditors and cashbook) or can be integrated to many common accounting packages
ExpressLane POS is installed in a wide variety of retail establishments including variety stores, small supermarkets, clubs and landscaping suppliers.
Scan the item (or manually enter the code & hit enter). Sale line is automatically recorded with a quantity of 1. Repeat for each item in the sale. To complete the sale select the tender type (keystroke 1), if cash select the smart key for the amount (keypress 2) and the sale is completed. It really is that simple!
Show MeButtons can be set to pre-defined processes such as Search, Hold, Quantity etc, a specific barcode (ideal in coffee shops, bars etc), a specific customer, a stock category (allows grouping on the sales entry screen) or even any other ExpressLane program, for example creating a new loyalty customer. Each button can have a shortcut key assigned to it and can be set to its own color. All very quickly & easily achieved; you can even have different configurations for different terminals. How’s that for flexibility!
Show Me HowThe layby system is a complete sub-system which allows for new laybys, payments,alterations, cancellations etc etc all to be handled from the terminal. Alternatively, our configurable Sales Entry screen allows you to create a specific layby counter if you prefer.
Show Me a LaybySearching can be done on barcode, stockcode, description, partial description (eg every item that has red in its description) or stock category. In addition the search can be performed on either the primary description, secondary description (yes, we have 2 lines of description) or both. Not only is it powerful but it is also extremely fast; no matter how many stock items you have the search results are returned almost instantly.

In addition ExpressLane also has extensive special pricing which caters for things such as quantity breaks, promotional pricing for a specific period, special prices on specific items for certain customers and so on. Of course ExpressLane also includes discount pricing (both fixed and variable discounts) and manual pricing as standard.

Supervisors run through a menu system and, security level permitting have access to the whole system whilst operators are restricted to Sales Entry only with every button on the screen having its own security level. Processes can be defined to require a supervisor authorisation if the user has insufficient security and all such authorisations are logged with a report available to management.
Show Me MoreTags can be attached to stock items, customers, processes, in fact virtually anything within the Sales Entry system and in most cases prompt the operator to ask the customer something. Tags can be strung together to make a virtual script for the operator to follow. For example if you sell a plastic model which requires glue to complete, you could have a tag set on that stock code which prompts the operator to ask “Do you have the glue for that?”
Depending on how the tag is defined, the customer’s answers may be recorded for later reporting and analysis.
Show Me MoreLicensing is per concurrent user. If multiple sites are involved each site must purchase a single user license plus any additional users required.
Pricing refers to our software only. For PC-EFTPOS integration you will require a PC-EFTPOS approved pin pad (most banks can supply this or we can arrange this at additional cost).
All pricing is expressed in Australian $ (AUD) and is current as at 1st October 2011.

Why doesn’t the Cash Drawer open? The cash drawer is normally set to the same device as the docket printer. The printer then sends a string of characters to the cash drawer. These characters must be entered in ExpressLane as decimals, separated by commas. Mosr modern cash drawers respond to 27,112,0,50 where the 50 is the pulse time in milliseconds. If this does not work or your cash drawer is connected directly try 07. If neither of these work you should refer to the supplier of your printer and/or cash drawer.
Can I print barcodes, labels etc from ExpressLane? Yes provided you purchase the barcode label option. This provides a complete WYSIWYG design environment for your labels and allows you to print a range of labels directly from within ExpressLane.
Can I have EFTPOS integrated into the terminal? Yes provided you purchase the EFTPOS option. If you don’t do this you can still easily process EFTPOS transactions but it is not automated from within ExpressLane. We use the PC-EFTPOS subsystem which currently supports Westpac, ANZ, NAB, CBA, Suncorp, St George, Bankwest, Travelex and Bendigo banks.
How do I do a refund/exchange? Exactly the same as a sale! Hit the refund button & start processing. Depending on how you configure your system, you can enforce the requirement to have the original sales docket & in this scenario you can only refund items on that docket.
