Connecting to YOUR POS SYSTEM

RIEDU supports several POS system configurations, including: Dresser-Wayne Nucleus, Gilbarco G-Site and Passport POS systems.

Existing POS systems:
By direct connection to the POS system RIEDU can read the existing departments, fuels, and PLU and UPC product items directly from the POS, eliminating the need to perform arduous setup procedures.

Manage multiple stores

One of Riedu’s special features is the ability to manage multiple stores.  This enables market groups to maintain a master price-book and send item price updates to each individual store.  This ensures consistency and accuracy over the entire market.

 

Unique “Event driven” user INTERFACE

The RIEDU user interface appears as a tabbed notebook.  Each page of the notebook is linked to all other related pages, maintaining continuity as you “flip” between pages.

RIEDU will never return error messages telling you “option not available”, common with other similar applications.  By monitoring all connected data sources, options are only offered when applicable data becomes available, providing an “event driven” interface that is truly intuitive and time saving.

The user interface is completely configurable, making it flexible for beginners as well as advanced users.  All settings are “remembered” between sessions.

Price Changes are extremely easy to manage using RIEDU’s unique price grouping.  All prices within a group can be all changed to the same price or incrementally up or down by any amount.

 “Dear Rod,

After two years of using ‘RIEDU’, I can honestly say it’s the most problem free and easy to use program I’ve ever used.  All the features helped speed the process of having and keeping inventory.  It enhanced our daily business, saving literally hours every day.  I especially enjoy the ease of price changing, grouping products, and tracking changes.  ‘RIEDU’ made owning and running a business a delight.  Thank you.

Sincerely,
