Point Of Sales System (POS) Interface: MarCole's optional
POS sales processing utility applies sales to the registry database. Some modifications
of the POS system will be required to capture gift registry sales data and place
it in a file format, as specified by MarCole. Retailers may need to contact their
POS vendor about modifying their POS system prior to purchasing this option. Note:
In the event that data cannot be extracted, Gift RegistryWorks Registry Manager
contains a simple manual entry screen for updating sales. Item
Load Option: MarCole's optional Item Load Utility enables product descriptions
and prices to reside on the gift registry system eliminating duplicate data entry.
Implementation requires item data to be placed in a file format provided by MarCole
and accessible by Gift RegistryWorks. Retailers may need to contact their system
vendors about extracting the item data from their existing system to initially
load the item file. On-going file extracts for new or changed item data should
also be considered. This Option should not be purchased prior to confirming that
the required data can be provided in the specified format. Note: In the
event existing inventory systems cannot be modified, Gift RegistryWorks - Item
Maintenance can be used to manually enter and update items.
