VeriFone Endorses C-Store Office as Integrated Partner Solution for Sapphire
VeriFone Systems, Inc., the global leader in secure electronic payment solutions, has endorsed Petrosoft’s C-Store Office back office system as an Integrated Partner Solution for the Ruby Sapphire POS. VeriFone maintains an Integrated Partner Solutions program to help Ruby and Sapphire POS users maintain tight control over their businesses and improve their bottom line by integrating an endorsed back office package.
“Over the last decade, we have interfaced with hundreds of Ruby and Ruby Sapphire systems in our clients’ locations,” said Sergei Gorlov, CEO of Petrosoft. “We are proud to be a part of VeriFone’s Integrated Partner program and will continue to serve VeriFone customers with C-Store Office to help them get more control over their businesses.”
C-Store Office is a back office partner solution for both the Ruby Sapphire and Gemcom systems from VeriFone.
C-STORE OFFICE INVENTORY OPTIMIZATION REPORTS CAN HELP YOU CUT INVENTORY BY AS MUCH AS 50%!
We at Petrosoft recently developed a new set of reports that help our customers optimize their inventory to slash inventory costs–as much as 50%! Using C-Store Office inventory reports, users can view item-level information on overstocks and see exactly how much stock they have of each item and how long it will take to move excess inventory off the shelves. Your managers can see exactly how much money you have tied up in excess inventory by item, in every category.
C-Store Office inventory optimization reports also show you which fast-moving items are out of stock in your store so that you can replenish those high velocity items quickly. C-Store Office inventory reports show which items are fast moves, which are slow movers and which are dead items that must be cleared out. Your managers will learn to work with inventory more effectively and constantly refine the mix in your stores to minimize your inventory investment and make your cash work more efficiently.
Recently, we tracked the progress of a store in central Pennsylvania that began using C-Store Office Inventory Optimization reports. They were doing about $85,000 per month in in-store sales and carrying around $90 to $100,000 in inventory. Within a few months of starting to use C-Store Office, they had reduced inventory to around $50,000!
Think of the impact on cash flow and profitability C-Store Office can deliver for your business.
WHAT’S NEW: OUR NEW AUTOPILOT FEATURE MAKES C-STORE OFFICE EASY TO LEARN QUICKLY AND USE CONSISTENTLY
We are proud to announce the release of AutoPilot, a new feature for C-Store Office users. AutoPilot is an onscreen, step-by-step workflow wizard that will help users learn C-Store Office quickly. It takes the user through each task to be performed during the course of the day so that even the newest user can be up and running in C-Store Office fast.
And, because we will custom program the workflow steps for each customer, you can have AutoPilot set up to conform to the way you want your business to run. Tasks will be performed consistently and completely at each of your locations, because AutoPilot gives your employees a workflow “road map” to follow as they go through the day.
Autopilot is easy to use. Employees just click on the AutoPilot tab and it opens right on the C-Store Office home page, showing the list of tasks to be performed. Uses simply click on each item and see an onscreen tutorial that shows them how to accomplish a task. As they finish each task in AutoPilot, they mark it completed and move on to the next item. Call us it you’d like to see a demo. 888-306-0640.

TOPIC OF THE DAY: The Practical Technology Business Model – Software as a Service, or SaaS
C-store Office is offered to our customers as Software as a Service, or SaaS. There are solid business reasons for subscribing to software as a service rather than purchasing it. Some of the most important ones are:
· SaaS saves money
· SaaS saves time
· SaaS lets you focus your technology budgets on the competitive advantages rather than infrastructure
· SaaS gives you immediate access to latest innovations
Saving Money with SaaS
· Lower IT Cost – SaaS helps you avoid the overhead associated with implementing conventional software. A typical software implementation/maintenance involves purchasing and maintaining serves, housing them securely, and installing/updating the software. With Saas, the software is already installed and maintained by the provider. Your only cost is for use.
Saving Time with SaaS
· SaaS providers eliminate many of typical implementation tasks licensed software products require. The software is already up and running on the SaaS provider’s site, so deployment time is much shorter. And because it is internet-centric, SaaS software is available anytime, anywhere. You are not limited to one work station; you can do business anywhere you happen to be
SaaS helps you focus technology budgets on the competitive advantage
· When you are subscribing to a web-hosted application, your organization is free from supporting high-cost, time consuming IT functions, including:
· Purchasing and supporting servers
· Providing redundancy
· Maintaining updates
· The more time employees spend maintaining equipment, downloading and installing patches, and supporting software the less time they are spending on your core business activities.
Immediate access to latest innovations
· SaaS gives providers like C-Store Office™ the ability to immediately respond to customer. SaaS customers don’t wait until a new update comes to install it. They get it right away–as soon as it is posted to the provider’s site.
With traditional licensed software, you typically have to wait for next release to benefit from the latest innovations. Given the cost and complexity of moving to a new version, it may not even be practical to upgrade your infrastructure each time a new release become available.
With a SaaS subscription on other hand, you benefit from innovations on an on-going basis. Here at Petrosoft we made a major investment in infrastructure so you won’t have to. To find out how to put our SaaS back office to work for you, call us at 888-306-0640.
