Off LicenceThe British Off Licence or ´Offie´, is renowned for its convenience, quality and more importantly affordable stock for its customers. In order to help the local ´Offie´ survive against the onslaught of the supermarkets and gain the maximum sales it can, Merlin® can help. Merlin® has been specifically designed to meet the needs of the modern Off Licence with its ability to sell an item in any pack size, as a single bottle or as part of a promotional offer.
Individual bottles, cans and cartons can be identified to ensure that pricing is always carried out in accordance with actual costs. Mixing price marked items with open price items is also quite acceptable, as is the ability to have different bar-codes on different vintages of the same product. For example, a bottle of Pinot Grigio can be identified by its actual year by using the alternative bar-code facility yet still be accounted for by name.
By using its own integrated accounting module Merlin® ensures that all sales are tracked to allow for actual Direct Product Profitability. This information can also be linked into category analysis to ensure that the store achieves its optimum profitability across all types of products. Merlin® also allows for the creation of trade accounts if you want to sell to local companies using trade invoicing and monthly statements.
Other features of Merlin® include:
- Multiple bar-codes per product for vintage control
- Multiple pack sizes from cartons to cases
- Provides facilities for both consumer and trade sales
- Uses touch screen terminals with simple graphics for ease of use
- Tracks all sales for management information and re-ordering
- Allows for the operation of special loyalty schemes
- Integrates fully into the total retail operation
- Fully integrated accounting system means no double entry or database transfer routines to create errors in input.
