***By Using BuyerKiosk Sync and Reading This User Guide You Agree To These Terms Above
Minimum Requirements
- DRS version 8.3 or later - stores with Windows 2008R2 Server (Pervasive 11) and Windows XP POS, or Windows 7 POS
- DRS version 8.2 but only if Pervasive 11 is installed
BuyerKiosk Sync Main Screen and Features
- The BuyerKiosk Sync App is a small window that displays on your POS register as shown below.
- From the main screen you can see if the App connection to the BuyerKiosk server is online or offline. Normally it will show as Online. If your internet connection goes down, it will show as Offline. NOTE: INTEGRATION WILL NOT WORK IF THE STATUS IS OFFLINE (e.g. when the internet connection is down).
- You can see Today’s Goals for Sales and Buys along with the Current Sales and Buy amounts for the day. This way your employees can track throughout the day how they are doing compared to their goals. The Goal is based on last year’s same day sales/buys plus a percentage that is selectable by the owner in the BuyerKiosk Sync App administration screen. See below on how to set these goals.
- The B button is to show you the current buy queue. This has similar functionality to the browser-based buy queue screen. You can process buys or sorts directly from the Sync App rather than using the browser if desired.
- The S button is to record a sale transaction. The system will pop up a form and ask for the customer’s phone number. If the customer does not want to give a phone number, hit the Skip Search button and it will jump to DRS and load the sale as a cash sale. Preferably, enter the customer’s phone number and hit the tab key and it will search for the customer. If it finds the customer, you can hit the Process Customer button and it jump to DRS and load the customer into the transaction. You must be logged in and at the Point of Sale Transaction screen for this to work properly.
- The R button is like the S button but is for Returns rather than Sales.
- The gear button on the far right takes you into the Administration Screen as shown below:
Opening/Closing Checklists
- There is an online Opening and Closing Checklist feature that you can use to automate tracking of your task lists. Task list items need to be set up first in the Buyer Kiosk Admin Panel under the Store Admin => Task List link on the as shown below:
- Once the task lists are defined in the Admin Panel, they will populate into the Sync App each day. They can be assigned by the shift lead and check off as completed by the staff as shown below:
- Once the Opening day tasks are completed the Shift Lead can add any relevant comments, add their name and hit submit to save the results for later submission to the owner. The tasks can be completed from any register, but make sure the shift lead uses the Master register to submit the results. Similarly, at the end of the night, the Shift Lead can assign nightly task and employees can complete them. Once everything is finished, the Shift Lead can add relevant comments, add his/her name and hit submit to save the results for later submission to the owner.
Submitting Today's Results
- After the Opening and Closing Check lists are completed and the registers are closed for the day, the nighttime Shift Lead can use the Submit Today’s Results button on the BuyerKiosk Sync App Administration Screen to send the final day results to the owner. From the Master register, clicking the Submit Today’s Results button will cause the following screen to pop-up.
- From this screen, the employee should explain any variance if there is one. They can also add any final thoughts/comments they want to communicate to the owner. Once they hit submit, an email will be sent to the owner with all of today’s data including financial numbers, buyer/sorter stats, opening/closing checklist results etc. Be sure to open a ticket and give us the email addresses of whoever you want the results to be emailed to at the end of the night.
Submitting Today's Results
- This feature will allow your employees to text job application form to a potential candidate’s mobile device. You must have an account with Formsite (http://www.formsite.com) and a job application form developed to use this feature. This has only been tested with Formsite, but may work with other online job applications. If you have a Formsite account and an application set up already, contact our support center via your browser to open a ticket and request help.
Show Items Sold By Day
- This feature will show a printable report of sales activity from a date or date range you specify. You can click the column headings to change the sort order. This report can be useful to see how many of each sub-category was sold. In the example below, you can see we sold 30 Women’s Tank Tops so we may want to go to back stock and pull more to replenish the floor stock. Bear in mind, this report has limited historical data depending on when you installed the BuyerKiosk Sync App.
Refresh Employee Table
- You can use this button to force a refresh of the employee table. The employee table refreshes each morning, but if you add employees in the BuyerKiosk Admin Panel during the day, you would need to hit this refresh button to load re-fresh the table mid-day.
Check For BuyerKiosk Sync Update
- This button will force the App to check to see if there is a newer version available. The app checks automatically each morning to see if there is a new version available. If there is, it will download and install automatically. This button is only needed if our Support Team makes and emergency fix and you need want to check for an update. You can also close the App and restart it to check for an update.
