Counter Intelligence retail POS management software does what it says — it effectively collects and collates intelligence on the components of your retail business, that is, your sales, products, inventory, customers, and salespersons.
Apply the intelligence wisely and you will be ready to implement strategies which will result in:
- Increased turnover
- Improved profitability
- Reduced inventory investment
- Maximised inventory efficiency
- Identified shrinkage
- Improved customer loyalty
- Improved salesperson performance
- Increased job satisfaction
Counter Intelligence Office can run in the Cloud, on the same PC as Counter Intelligence POS, or any of our various business network models.
Counter Intelligence Office also features an e-commerce Internet shop module called e-Retailer, which enables retailers to effortlessly create a shop that is online, but is managed just like another physical shop.

Flexible LabellingCounter Intelligence produces price labels which include a barcode of the product's PLU number or most barcode symbologies. Labels may be automatically produced as a by-product when receiving stock and can be printed on dot matrix, inkjet, laser or thermal label printers. If the product already has a manufacturer's barcode, this can be read directly using a CCD gun or laser barcode scanner.
Fashion, Apparel & FootwearCounter Intelligence takes a new initiative in dealing with product with style, colour and size elements. All stock is maintained at the style level through the use of a dynamic matrix which specifies the colours and sizes unique to the style. This ensures consistency and makes adding a new style to the system quick and easy.
HelpCounter Intelligence, like all Windows products, incorporates extensive help screens which eliminate the need to search through bulky and often outdated manuals. All help is sensitive to the area in which you are working and not only tells you how to perform the particular function, but also the reasoning behind the process.
Business Process ManualCounter Intelligence comes complete with a business process manual compiled from many years of practical retail experience. This manual provides a step-by-step guide to implementing and optimizing your POS and retail stock management system.
