What is IntelliStore?

IntelliStore is software that runs on your tills and back office PCs, to help you run your convenience store or supermarket.

EPOS till

There are hundreds of POS systems out there, but only a handful that can cope with the demands of supermarket and convenience store retailing. IntelliStore POS was designed exclusively for grocery epos, and we have become the market leading epos system in this sector.

When you buy IntelliStore POS, you're not buying a compromise epos solution - you're buying the best solution available for convenience stores and supermarkets.

Why to choose us

Your till is the most important part of your business - without it you cannot trade. That's why IntelliStore only runs on till hardware specifically designed for grocery retail.

Most of the major manufacturers are already approved, like Toshiba, NCR, Fujitsu and Digipos. More tills are being added to our approved list all the time, but contact us if you already have a till you'd like to re-use.

VME Retail can sell you hardware, or put you in touch with one of our partners who'll be happy to help.

IntelliStore has been integrated with NCR's fastlane selfserv checkout, the leading self checkout in the world.

Contact us for more information on adding self checkout to your store.

IntelliStore has one of the most advanced promotion systems in the world.

In the 12 years since the first version was implemented, there has not been a promotion dreamt up by retailers that IntelliStore cannot handle. It gives you the flexibility to design your own promotions, as well as automatically downloading promotions from most of the major wholesalers.

Your employees can clock in and out using ID cards or just numbers at any till.
It takes just 3 seconds and has been proven not to interfere with customer service.

Why waste money on expensive time keeping systems when you can utilise the same system your staff uses to login on the tills?

IntelliStore works with most of the major EFT providers in the UK, like Verifone, Ingenico and SagePay. All the major credit cards are accepted, including contactless and Apple Pay is coming soon!

Sell fuel at your convenience store? IntelliStore works with most of the major pump providers, and also allows you to accept fuel cards.

You can issue loyalty cards or keyfobs to your loyal customers, giving them special customer only promotions, as well as building a points or value balance.

IntelliStore allows you to send mail merge letters and vouchers to keep in touch with your customers, and also interfaces to external systems so you can interact with your customers online and using social media.

IntelliStore back office

Our back office runs on any Windows PC or Server. You can manage your tills, download product and price changes from your suppliers, balance your cash, raise orders to your suppliers, manage your stock levels and view sales and stock reports.

Our award winning automatic ordering module is built in.

Why to choose us

In addition to creating products manually, you can automatically download new products, and changes to existing products from your suppliers.

Interfaces exist to most major wholesalers.

You choose which products from your suppliers you wish to sell, and adding new products is easy.

A product's price can be changed on the back office, or using one of our approved hand held terminals (HHTs).

You can automatically download price changes from your suppliers, and choose which changes to accept, ensuring your margins are protected.

Promotions can be automatically loaded from your suppliers, and you can manually add your own.

You can specify expected performance percentages in order to assist automatic ordering of all your products on promotion.

IntelliStore controls all the cash in your business, from the cash drawer used at each till to the back office safe.

You can cash up daily, weekly, or even mutiple times during the day.

Cash and Sales information can be automatically interfaced into your financial system.

You can use IntelliStore back office to maintain your stock levels, and an HHT to perform cyclical checks on the shop floor.

Full stock level reports are available.

IntelliStore allows you to send purchase orders to your suppliers, and receive electronic delivery notes (EDNs) to keep your stock levels correct.

You can use IntelliStore's award winning automatic ordering to raise orders for you, allowing you to perform a final review before sending to your suppliers.

Our automatic ordering module has been used for over 14 years in small and larger retailers alike, and is generally considered the most advanced automatic ordering system available for convenience stores and supermarkets.

Your margins are tight; if you lose one item it might take another 8 to be sold before you're break even. That is why its important that you have complete control over who is doing what in the system, especially at the POS.

IntelliStore's audit module gives you complete visibility into the system, including voids, refunds and low sale transactions.

You can use your HHT to check stock levels, change prices, and create reduced to clear labels.

IntelliStore head office

Have more than one store? IntelliStore Head Office makes running these stores easier.

It runs on any current Windows desktop or server, and requires a current version of SQL Server.

Why to choose us

Control which stores receive which products.

Ensure your stores receive the right product mix depending on their size. Download your new products automatically from your suppliers, check them and then send to all stores, saving you time.

You can have multiple prices for the same product in different stores.

Group your stores and ensure they receive the optimal price for the local demographics. Maximise margin without losing sales because the price is too high.

Download cost and RRP price updates from your suppliers automatically, and review them to adjust your selling price across different bands, ensuring your margin isn't affected. IntelliStore's pricing keeps you in control.

You can use our price ranging module to fine tune the margin you make in each store.

You don't have to set a price 'band' so all products in a store are the same level. Use price ranging so you can group products and prices together. For example, perhaps cans of lager are a big seller so they're priced for volume of sales over margin, but premium wines are slow movers but far more profitable when they are sold. Don't discount your premium wines because of the price band required for your lager sales - use IntelliStore's price ranging to ensure the premium wines margin compensates for the slower rate of sale.

Create promotions centrally for all your stores, or just a select group of them.

Download promotions from your suppliers and send to all your stores automatically.

View your stock levels across all of your stores. See which stores are holding too much stock and which ones are losing sales by not having enough.

Use branch charging to ensure your branches are charged the correct price from your supplier invoices.

Branch charging interfaces to your financial systems to ensure your accounts are accurate, ensuring you can see which stores are profitable and which are not.

IntelliStore's invoice matching module allows you to centralise the processing of all supplier invoices, automatically matched against store level delivery notes based on rules you decide, and then passed for payment or flagged for manual review. Our invoice matching module can save hours and hours each week per branch by centralising the matching function.
