Welcome to Microsoft Dynamics RMS Retail Management System

Microsoft Dynamics RMS - Retail Management System
Microsoft RMS is a PC-based software system that helps retailers to run their businesses efficiently and provides up-to-date management information to keep your business responsive. Basically, it automates a lot of the functions that would otherwise fill your day with paperwork and provides you with the figures you need to see how your business is performing and make informed decisions.Microsoft RMS is a powerful retail software package that is aimed at small and medium size retailers who need to upgrade their systems to achieve greater efficiency and productivity. RMS allows retailers to leave manual processes behind and contains features more commonly associated with the big chains. At its most simple level it can run on a single PC, with cash draw, bar code reader and chip and pin machine attached. But it is capable of growing into a multi-lane, multi-store system with headquarters management that can deal with store-to-store transfers, chain wide pricing promotions and so much more.Key Features of Microsoft Dynamics RMS
Point-of-sale operations - Microsoft RMS is simple and efficient to use. The functionality available right at the till is very impressive and allows staff to deal with customer enquiries promptly. Staff can check stock levels or provide product information, and (if authorized) they can also back-order stock and process refunds. Stock control and tracking - Effective stock control is a constant challenge but is crucial to running a successful retail business. Microsoft RMS recognizes this and provides the tools you need to efficiently manage stock control. The system is capable of tracking items throughout their journey through your business, from the moment you order them from the supplier to the moment they are sold; there is no need for manual stock counts. Pricing, sales, and promotions - Microsoft RMS deals with all sorts of pricing and promotion structures, you can;
* discount the entire sale or just selected items at the point of sale * set up mix-and-match and 'Buy X, Get Y' pricing (including fixed price and percentage discounts) * utilize Lot pricing (single, six-pack, case and more) * assign multiple price levels for different customers (price break tables) and prevent staff from discounting below a set profit margin.

Customer management and marketing - Offer discounts and vouchers or suggest add-on sales based on previous purchases. Improve customer service, when a customer purchases an item, the system can flash a note to the cashier to pass on targeted advice, or perform a visual/ID check for age-restricted goods. Employee management - Staff can clock in and out using the in-built system. You can also restrict what different members of staff can do, for example; limit the ability for staff members to offer discounts or order stock. You can see which staff members have the highest average transaction figures, and suggest up-sells and cross-sells at the point of sale. Customized reports - In the fast moving retail environment it is important to know which lines are selling best, and equally important, which lines are failing to sell. Microsoft RMS helps you make more informed decisions. Generate daily sales reports and journals; see how particular lines are selling, or how much margin they are generating and ensure that your best sellers are always in stock with automatic reorder levels. Information security - Not only can you restrict how much functionality each member of staff has, but you can also be confident that your credit/debit processing is secure and uses the latest industry security standards.
