When customers request products you don't have in stock you can show them a picture of the item before ordering the product from another store.

In Aralco you can display product and customer or member photographs in the POS transaction screen. Product pictures are uploaded when you set up products in the Back Office System. Member or customer photographs are attached to their profiles. When you turn on this option you can display product pictures and member photographs from any POS.

For example, imagine your store sells a popular line of handbags. A customer would like to purchase a handbag but would prefer the item in beige, but that color is sold out. She is hesitant about ordering the handbag, and would like to know what shade of beige it is. While inquiring about the availability of the beige handbag at other stores a picture of the beige handbag appears on your POS transaction screen. This gives the customer a chance to confirm that the bag in stock at the other store is exactly what she is looking for.

Customer or member photographs can also be displayed in the POS transaction screen. A health & fitness club may decide to use this to verify the identity of their members when they swipe membership cards to access facilities.

This is one of several new features available in Aralco Version 400. Please take a look at our demo videos to view how to activate this option.
