We are all looking for better ways to do things, and understand our business, and understanding our customers better. If you are not using the latest technology in your retail business, then you will be falling behind fast. Technology is at the heart of any good retail business from the point of sale , until the customer returns.

While helping one of our major clients with a stocktake, we noticed that there was a small issue with our system. Amicus supports components, which means that if you change the stock level of one item in the component structure, the others get affected. For example, if we have the products BEER and CARTON, a CARTON consists of 24 BEERs.

As we start preparing 6.02 for release to our largest client, we are still pressing on with 6.04. There were some major changes made in this version, so we will need to go through some thorough testing. To help aid us in this, we have hired some new testers.

There have been several things happening this week. But the one that is most interesting to talk about (at least from a development point of view) is speeding up the SQL for the stocktake variance report.

One of our major clients has been mentioning that this report is running quite slow. This seemed strange as work had been done before to speed up this report. It should be quick to run.

This particular blog post doesn't have anything to do with point of sale, however i thought I'd put it up so my followers (yay, i have followers!) could see what I was doing. Actually, I'm not so much doing it right now, more just putting the feelers out to see who likes the idea

I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I had a good break, and am now settling back into work for 2011. It’s amazing how easy you get used to slowly waking up later day-by-day, only to bring it all back when you start work again…

Testing and bug fixing were put on the sideline for a portion of this week. One of our major clients is having issues with stocktakes. The main problem is trying to figure out why the variance in the stocktake is so large.

As consumers, we can all relate to the frustration of inefficient and ineffective service. Few things are as tedious and irritating as slow service, particularly when we lead such busy lives and time is precious.

If you’re looking expanding the use of Amicus, then this might interest you. We’ve got our hands on a Bixolon SPP-R200 and gave it a whirl. It’s basically a mobile thermal printer that connects to its host via Bluetooth.
