Touch Screen Department & Categories

I have a need to setup Touch Screen in RMS. But I need to be able select a Department and then have an additional prompt of a catagory. Right now the way RMS works is you can only have RMS setup so you can see all Departments but then that gives you a long list of every item in that department.

We want to break it down into further sub-groups. I know that RMS doesn't do this out of the box but if any one has any ideas on how to accomplish that woule be great.

Maurice,

We have upgraded our stores to touch screen on the bases that Microsoft RMS

3.0 which is more touch screen friendly would be out on 2009, but Microsoft has drop the ball in getting this release on time. We were looking to skipped RMS 2.0 and to straight to RMS 3.0. This past February we had to upgrade to RMS 2.0, but without any benefit from the touch screen we have install in our stores. Now my company is upset we spend all this money on touch screen with no improvement in the checkout of our customer. I need to try to find out how to make RMS 2.0 more user friendly with our touch screen till the new version of RMS is release to satisfied the Retail Director that the cost of the touch screens were worth the investment.

Can you send me the information also.

Ed,

POS 2009 will be released in th next few days. This is the lastest point-of-sale operating system from Microsoft, and while it is not exactly a plug-and-play replacement for RMS, it does have tools to upgrade your exisitng RMS Store Operations data into the POS 2009 database. With the new taskpad interface, it can handle drilling down from the department level to the category level to the item level, and it does this right out of the box. The taskpad can also be customized with additional functionality, and you can create role-specific taskpads based on your user rights.

The one caveat is that this system is not compatible with RMS Headquarters. If you are using HQ to manage your multi-store enterprise, there may not be much to offer this year. However, if you are a single store, or if your stores are not using HQ to synchronize with the corporate office or do store-to-store inventory, then you should be able to use POS 2009.

Talk with your Microsoft partner about this, or if you do not currently have a partner, please feel free to contact me
