Custom Modules are specialized add-on features for the Keystroke POS system. Custom Modules are not stand-alone products and require the base Keystroke system (Single-User, or Network Version) for operation.  With the exception of MultiStore (see below), each Custom Module is licensed for use with a single serialized base system.

Modules:

• Four dimension size/color/style matrix
• Credit card processing
• Data interfaces for popular accounting systems
• Importing inventory, customer and vendor information
• Scripting (for customized line item entry procedures)
• Production (item kitting/assembly)
• Multiple store data management utilities

General Ledger Link

 

The General Ledger Link (GL-Link) module provides an interface to the general ledger module of third party accounting systems.  Journal entries are generated for sales and accounts receivable transactions and output to either a report format or to an ASCII file.  This ASCII file is formatted specifically to be read and posted into any one of the following general ledger systems: BusinessWorks and Peachtree from Sage, PAS +, GBS II and CYMA IV from CYMA Systems, QuickBooks for DOS and Windows from Intuit, ACCPAC products from Computer Associates,  and Macola.

 

The Script Editor module provides the ability to set up customized entry procedures for inputting specific line items at the point of sale.  These procedures (called "Scripts") may include any combination of special reminder messages, on-screen prompts, tag-along items, on-the-fly-kitting, components, alternate items, and/or suggested add-on items.  Each inventory item may have its own unique Scripts.   This powerful module adds features that will benefit most any business using Keystroke.      Back to the Top

 

Production

 

The Production module is a special inventory maintenance tool designed to help manage items that are produced in batches from individually purchased components.  It is ideal for businesses which do product assembly or light manufacturing.  A production template can be setup for a finished good (such as a gift basket) which contains various component items.  A specified quantity of the template item can later be produced, at which time appropriate quantities of each component item are removed from stock.   Back to the Top

 

MultiStore

 

MultiStore includes a set of special functions designed to help manage sales and inventory in multiple store/warehouse operations.  Primary features include: quantity-on-hand lookup for alternate stores/locations, inter-store inventory transfers, composite inventory level reports; and transaction consolidation.  While only a single MultiStore module is required per chain of stores, a separate Keystroke POS system must be purchased for each store location where Keystroke software will be installed (i.e., each store, warehouse and main office).  Data may be transferred between locations via modem or on disk.  Multistore does not include modem communications software (e.g.; Close-up by Norton-Lambert is recommended).   Back to the Top

 

Importer

 

The Importer module provides the ability to transfer data from an ASCII comma (or tab) delimited file format into the Keystroke system.  Inventory, Customer and Vendor data may be either imported as complete records, or merged in order to modify specific fields in an existing database (e.g., price updates obtained on disk from a vendor).  Your local Keystroke dealer can also import data for you.   Back to the Top

 

EDC

 

Are you tired of leasing those little gray credit card boxes and dealing with the double entry of credit card information?  Credit card authorization and processing no longer has to be a hassle.  The Keystroke Electronic Draft Capture (EDC) module allows you to perform electronic credit card authorizations and bank settlement using an inexpensive magnetic stripe reader and standard modem.  

 

The Keystroke program handles credit card transactions just like any other sale.  With the cursor in the Payment Reference field, all you do is swipe the credit card through the mag-stripe reader.  You also have the option of typing in the credit card number and expiration date when necessary. Keystroke dials the processor and requests authorization for the specified amount. Once authorization is complete, an approval code (unless declined) is displayed on the screen.  A signature receipt can be printed with all the necessary information for the credit card transaction.

Credit card transactions are authorized at the time of sale, and depending on which electronic processor you use, funds may be transferred to your bank account immediately or upon end of day settlement procedures. Keystroke EDC supports most national credit card processors (e.g., CES, MAPP, NDC, etc.).

 

For more information about Keystroke EDC module, contact SBS or your local authorized Keystroke dealer.  We can help you eliminate the extra hardware on your sales counter, and at the same time make processing credit card sales faster, easier and more profitable!

 

The Keystroke EDC module provides the ability to perform electronic credit card authorizations and end of day funds processing. EDC may be used with Keystroke Single-User or Network Version.  A magnetic stripe reader, modem and third party processing service are required.   Back to the Top
