Front-Office

The UAMenu cashier program is geared towards technologically managing the flow of goods in retail networks and is intended to automate the cashier’s workplace in supermarkets as well as individual stores, including those with production areas that sell both food products and industrial goods.

It’s designed to operate at the cashier’s workstation, equipped with integrated and handheld barcode scanners, a printer for issuing fiscal receipts, optionally an electronic bank card terminal, along with a cashier computer, monitor, and keyboard.

The program installed on the cashier’s computer is the client-side of the UA system and connects to the cashier server, which contains all data about the sold products, operating in a “client-server” mode, meaning that upon launching the program, it connects to the database server.

The system can employ multiple cashier servers (typically two are used – primary and backup). If necessary, switching to the backup server is possible (for instance, in case the primary server malfunctions).

Functions:

• Sales Recording: The product sales process is carried out in two ways: by scanning the product’s barcode with a barcode scanner or by manually entering the product’s barcode (for the touch screen version, product buttons are also used in the program’s interface);
• Product Search: Besides scanning and manually entering the product’s barcode, the item can be added to the receipt through several other methods: searching by name or a part of the product’s name, searching by article code, short code, electronic product code, and by price;
• Viewing Receipts: In addition to the main sales recording operation, there are additional options for working with receipts – a receipt viewing mode for previously printed and saved receipts in the program, reprinting the selected receipt when needed;
• Integration with Customer Displays: During product scanning and manual entry, the customer display shows information about the scanned product that the customer can view, including the price of that product and the total payment amount, change;
• Cash Register Operations: Besides receipt printing, additional functions with fiscal cash registers and cash registers are implemented: cash handling, X and Z reports, unlocking in case of cash register errors (for some models), and diagnostic printing;
• Cancellation and Editing of Receipts: When necessary, after scanning products in the sales mode, there is an option to completely cancel or edit the receipt;
