The key to the success of SMART is due to the way our software
programming staff has designed this POS system. We applied Software Engineering principles
in every aspect of our software design. Unlike other systems, SMART was designed using
today's programming technology, Object Oriented Design, instead of the traditions Top-Down
Sequential Design. In simple terms, this means that you don't have to respond to 8 to 10
different pre-determined and pre positioned questions in order to complete one Order
transaction. With SMART, once a customer is selected, an Order transaction can be
completed using as a few as 2 key strokes. The operation still retains the flexibility to
select many other options such as Delivery, Coupon, Discount Release Statement Tag
assignment, UpCharges, Storage charges, selection of due date and time etc with a few
additional key strokes
With SMART, the control and management of the system is at your disposal. You are not
dependent on us to constantly re-write or tailor the system to meet your needs. Our
powerful System Setup option allows you to change many operational parameters that allow
you to tailor SMART system to best meet your Business environment.

The first week he had his SMART System Computers,
Jim (Express Cleaners) called us every
day. "The sales figures are too high! Better check your program," he said. We
checked. No mistake. So we asked, "Why don't you take a inventory of your cash
drawer?" Jim did, and found an extra $700 the first week. Like many dry
cleaners, Jim thought computers were too expensive and never dreamed it would make
him extra profits, so he asked us to tell you:
Going from a manual system to SMART System Computers, an owner
can pay off his
system in 3 to 6 months through:
A pop-up window lists all tickets ready for each customer.
Prints list of inventory over 60 days old for reminder calls or cards.
Drycleaners report a 10% to 20% increase in dollar volume due to
accurate pricing, correct calculations and upcharges using a SMART Computer. Normally this
increase translates directly into a 30% increase in profits because no additional costs
are incurred. A SMART Computer is just about the surest, quickest and easiest way there is
to make more money.
As Jim says, "While there other systems which offer inventory control, non are as
fast at the point of purchase as the SMART System. Because SMART System is not a menu
driven program, customers actually spend less time waiting at your counter. And the system
is easy to learn and use." SMART System is an outgrowth of the simple, fast, easy to
use point-of-sales systems we developed for high volume supermarkets, so you can:

Cash pilferage and inventory shrinkage are frustrating and costly
problems for cleaners SMART Computers will neutralize these problems by preparing reports
that identify each see and cash transact on by the individual employee. These reports
immediately flag questionable transactions so the manager can take timely corrective
action. With the SMART Inventory Control System, a further dimension is added that affords
even absentee owners complete control of a store's sales, cash add inventory activity.
The SMART System also lets you keep a watchful eye over the counter
activities of your employees. First, the mere presence of the computer actually helps
eliminate theft. In addition, each employee a assigned an ID number (which is used for
each and every transact on that they do. On top of that the manager assigns privileges to
each employee to provide further control.
In terms of reports, you can analyze each operator's activity including
the amount and percentage of upcharges, total number of tickets written and total do let
amounts. Outgoing Reports let you track the number of tickets cashed out by operator and
determine for each operator the totals of cash taken in, amount charged, and total dollar
amounts. The Void Invoice Report lists each employee and invoice voided within specific
date range. The Changed Ticket Report shows each ticket that was 'New Priced' or 'Future
Priced" (in other words, tickets that had a dollar amount changed) and the employee
that made the change.
We included a variety of reports that appeal to a broad base of Dry
Cleaners. Reports for: Customer, Orders, Clerks, Accounts Receivable, Sales Routes,
