| dc.description.abstract | The Digital Sale Point or point of purchase (POP) is the time and place where a retail
transaction is completed. At the point of sale, the merchant calculates the amount owed by the
customer, indicates that amount, may prepare an invoice for the customer (which may be a cash
register printout), and indicates the options for the customer to make payment. It is also the point
at which a customer makes a payment to the merchant in exchange for goods or after provision
of a service. After receiving payment, the merchant may issue a receipt for the transaction, which
is usually printed but can also be dispensed with or sent electronically.
This project entitled “Digital Sale Point” is an attempt to create an electronic Point of Sale
system which is a self-contained computerized equipment that performs all tasks of a store check
counter like payments, transaction verifications, report generation, inventory management and
other day-to-day operations in a simplified and optimized fashion. It enables retailers to carry out
day-to-day operations in a simplified and optimized fashion. The systems simplify the manner in
which sales transactions are generated, inventory is tracked, new inventory is ordered. Overall,
the systems enable the retailer to manage complete in-store operations to improve the customer
experience, extend operational efficiencies, and maximize profits. Point-of-sale capabilities
include fulfilling and returning web-generated orders and purchases, accessing cross-store
inventory to save the sale, and enhancing the consumer experience with functionalities such as
loyalty programs, and convenient emailed receipts | en_US |
