Tobacco Products Retail
Tobacco Products Retail: tax-stamped item stock, fast POS, age-restriction prompt, daily cash-up.
Challenges
- The manufacturer fixes the price, no discount is possible and the margin is narrow and fixed.
- Tax-stamp and age-limit checks are never recorded.
- Fast-moving items run out during the day and the reorder goes in too late.
- Tobacco, alcohol and other goods fall under different rules yet sit mixed in one stock.
- Product groups under different regulations sit in one stock pool, so they cannot be separated during an inspection.
Workflows
