Introducing Sage PayPoint
Sage PayPoint is designed specifically for businesses operating within a trade or retail environment and handling customer present transactions.
The software provides your business with a user friendly point of sale environment which allows you to conduct customer sale and payment transactions quickly, accurately and securely.
The program can be customised to reflect the unique processes of your business, adopting the terminology and look and feel, you require making the system easier to use and reducing staff training.
The Sage retail solution supports your business whether you operate a single till or many tills across multiple locations. Sage PayPoint is fully compatible with industry leading hardware including Epson, IBM and J2. Whether your business transacts from a simple PC or via a network of retail terminals, Sage PayPoint is fully scalable to meet your needs.

Integration with your Sage accounting system
Sage PayPoint can be operated as a standalone program. However, if your business handles stock, Sage PayPoint has the ability to integrate with your Sage accounting system allowing you to manage pricing and stock control across your business – an integrated retail solution. Sage PayPoint will integrate seamlessly with the whole Sage accounting range from Sage Line 50 to Sage Line 500.

Is Sage PayPoint suitable for my business?
If you currently process customer present transactions via cash, card or cheque payments then Sage PayPoint is applicable to your business. Although Sage PayPoint integrates with Sage accounting programs, it can also be used as an independent solution.

What is EPOS?
By definition, EPOS is an electronic point of sale. An EPOS solution uses computers or specialised terminals that can be combined with other hardware, such as barcode readers, cash draws etc for accurately and instantly capturing the sale / transaction.

This can be a little misleading as most POS software (point of sale or purchase) solutions are electronic in this day and age. The difference between the two is typically the recording and updating of stock within the business. For example of POS software could be a standalone electronic till. This records the point of purchase, but does not automatically update the stock level for that product; this is done in a manual process. With an EPOS solution, the stock data is automatically updated, saving great time and increasing efficiency.

Is an EPOS system for my business?
EPOS systems are typically used by businesses that have regular sales, e.g. retailers, hotels, wholesalers etc. Any business that maintains stock or provides sellable services, can benefit from an EPOS system. Such solutions offer fast and accurate product information, help increase efficiency throughout the business, provide increased levels of customer satisfaction and therefore become very valuable to any business that has sales. Such benefits are useful whatever your business size. DB Computer solutions are one of Ireland’s leading epos system providers.
