Ramsys 

(Retail Automated Management SYStem)

A comprehensive Retail/Hospitality/Service/FMGC management system that provides advanced capabilities for recording sales, managing inventory levels, and generating statistical reports to assist store and head office management. It is designed to be scalable and adaptable, allowing it to be used in stores of varying sizes and configurations.

For smaller stores, Ramsys can be run on a single, standard PC computer. For larger stores, Ramsys can be networked to allow up to 98 lanes per store, enabling multiple checkouts to operate simultaneously. This allows for efficient handling of high volumes of transactions and ensures that customers can complete their purchases quickly and easily.

For multi-store chains, Ramsys includes a Head Office module that consolidates data from all remote stores for centralised management reporting and stock control. This enables head office management to have a clear and accurate overview of the performance of all stores and to make informed decisions based on real-time data.

Ramsys supports a range of input methods, including keyboard, touch screen, and scanner. These can be used interactively on the same sale, providing flexibility and convenience for both staff and customers. The system is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for staff to learn and use effectively.

Operator Console Support

Ramsys supports the following console (keyboard, mouse, display) configurations:

• Touch Screen (no keyboard or mouse): This is achieved by using oversized buttons and by providing a ‘keyboard’ dialog for data entry.
• Keyboard Only: All dialogs use the usual Windows keys for controlling navigation. Additional keyboard shortcuts are also available to speed operator interaction.
• Mouse with No Keyboard: This behaves similarly to the Touch Screen configuration above but the mouse is the pointing device instead of the screen.
• Keyboard and Mouse: No special support required.

No additional configuration is required to support all the configurations above. Ramsys supports all configurations simultaneously.
