Upgrade to Version 9

 

One of the keys to a successful retail business is in-depth sales analysis so you know what you are doing well and where you can improve. The sales analysis reports in Uniwell Lynx have been designed to help you do exactly that. Consider some of the new reports that will be included in Version 9 …

Period Sales Reports

The Daily Sales Report has been replaced by a new Period Sales Report with Daily/Weekly/Monthly options. These reports provide a way to quickly analyse sales trends over time and the optional charts make it easy to visualise the trends.

Item Sales by Period Reports

These new reports allow you to compare sales of particular items across 7 days, 7 Weeks, 7 Days of Week or 7 Months. Sales quantities, sales amounts or both can be shown on these reports and the summarise report option can be used to get an overview by supplier, location, POS terminal, group or price level.

Report Colour Scheme

As seen in the reports above Version 9 will also include a new Report Colour Scheme setting with three different colour options and one grayscale option.

Contact your Uniwell Lynx Reseller for more information about Version 9 or submit an enquiry via our Contact Us page.

The data entry screens for Items, Clerks and POS Terminals have been redesigned in Version 9.

Items

Removal of support for old Uniwell POS terminal models has made it possible to simplify the Item data entry screen considerably …

• Programming options that are no longer relevant have been removed
• Commonly used options have been moved to the General tab for quicker access
• Tabs and layouts have been reorganised for more intuitive data entry

Clerks and POS Terminals

The Clerk and POS Terminal data entry screens have also been redesigned.

In this post we will consider some of the improvements to Screen Layout programming that will be included in Version 9.

Button Layout 2

Version 9 will include support for programming Button Layout 2 and other settings for the Transaction Area of the display.

Add/Modify Items and Clerk Captions

Version 9 will also include support for Adding or Modifying Items while editing Screen Layouts and an option to Update Clerk Captions.

Automatically Update PLU/Clerk Button Clerk Captions

Two new options have been added to Preferences that can be used to Update PLU Button and/or Clerk Button captions automatically. If you enable these options then whenever you edit an item description or a clerk name the buttons in your screen layouts will be updated automatically.

Welcome to the first in a series of posts that will provide a preview of some of the new features that will be included in Version 9.

The Modifiers feature of Uniwell AX/HX POS Terminals provides an elegant way to handle product variations. For example, a café may use modifiers to allow for small, regular, large and extra-large drinks – giving each variation a different price.

Modifier Messages

Version 9 will include support for programming the modifier messages used to identify variations of a product.

These modifier messages will also be shown in the drop-down lists when editing items making it much easier to setup modifiers for your products.

Item Sales by Modifier Report

An Item Sales by Modifier Report will also be included in Version 9 so that you can analyse your sales of product variations.

Our official support partner, POSLynx, have started releasing a new series of free tutorials for Uniwell Lynx. These tutorials have been updated in line with the latest features of the core module of Uniwell Lynx v8, and are primarily designed for those who are using Uniwell AX or HX model POS terminals.
