Grocery Store

Has anyone implemented MS POS or RMS SO in a grocery store? Are there any "gotchas" that I need to be aware of? Any problems integrating with Magellan XL scale/scanners?

This system is NOT for a supermarket!!!!!

  1. When a cashier signs off, it takes minutes before the next cashier can sign on. (sync of tables)
  2. Credit card processing "sucks" at best. There is no provider that will processing using sig capture that is reliable
  3. lot matrix items are not scanner friendly
  4. scan a lot matrix item and then scan another item and the 2nd item is free (thanks microsoft)
  5. no hand held units ( data collectors) support lot matrix items ( i.e. coke & pepsi items)
  6. net display will not support all media types
  7. inventory can be tricked when creating new items using the copy feature
  8. I can go on
