Vision BeanStore™ For Retail - Overview
Multi-sector, multi-platform
The traditional retail sector segmentation is either blurring rapidly or narrowing dramatically. Vision BeanStore™ supports the retailer who expands into other sectors through its layered application architecture and its deployment options.
The layered architecture allows changes to be made to the GUI and the business flow for different market sectors while using the same core functions and database. This limits the need to purchase and integrate multiple specialised products.
Vision BeanStore™ is designed as a multi-sector PoS product, with pre-built retail functionality to meet the needs of many market sectors. At the other end of the spectrum, as some retailers narrow their focus to be competitive based on added customer value, functionality can easily and quickly be added to BeanStore to meet those needs.
Portable & Independant
For technology to have value, it has to offer a business benefit. One of the key business benefits in selecting Java as the technology platform is that it removes the reliance on specific operating systems or hardware.
PCMS has implementations of Vision BeanStore™ running on a wide variety of operating systems including variants of Windows and Linux. Hardware platforms include most mainstream PoS manufacturers in addition to PC based implementations.
Vision BeanStore™ is designed as a long-term software solution because the platform you choose today, may not be your preferred platform in years to come. With BeanStore, your PoS investment is protected. Although your operating system or hardware strategy may change, your business solution remains the same. It's no accident that our solutions use open technologies. In fact, it's a fundamental prerequisite.
