Advanced Offers and Promotions

Imagine an ordinary day in a large retail clothing store. A customer wants to buy:

• Two pairs of shorts, $24.95 each, on a "2 for the price of 1" offer.
• And a $19.95 T-shirt, on a 'Super Summer' $5 off deal.
• And a pair of jeans, at the regular price of $69.95.
• And the store is also running a "15% of all purchases over $100, not valid with any other offer" promotion.

Quick, what's the best deal for the customer? More importantly, how much extra time will it take for the salesperson to work it out, and how many lost sales will come from the delayed customers behind in the queue?

You don't need to do the math - Ontempo Store makes it easy.

One of the key development ideas behind Ontempo Store is the advanced ability to always correctly and quickly offer the best price to the customer. With the new 'advanced offers and promotions' plug-in offered as a part of the POS, no matter what promotions a shop may be running Ontempo Store is designed to calculate the best combination of applicable offers.

With no extra effort or time needed by the salesperson, your customers will always be offered the best possible price.

Traditionally POS systems have had great difficulty in applying combinations of offers, usually just applying the first available offer and excluding others.

Using it's unique offers systems, Ontempo Store quickly calculates the offers applicable, then applies the best combination for the lowest price. It then applies or removes offers in real time - so if the customer suddenly decides to throw in another 'Super Summer' T-shirt, it's no problem.

On top of that, automatically generated up-sell messages prompt the salesperson to suggest other suitable offers to the customer based on the current sale (e.g. another pair of jeans to take advantage of a "3 for the price of 2" offer). All offer names and discounts are automatically reported on the receipt so both the customer and the operator understand what has happened.

The end result of the advanced offers systems is the best price for the customer at the till, without increasing the time it takes to make the sale, every time.

That means faster sales, more satisfied customers, less difficulty for salespeople, less arguments at the till, and less lost sales.
