Multi Store Integration

ProfitSystem can support an unlimited number of retail locations with its Multi-Store Integration.

With the Multi-Store Integration, you will have one set of data files for all your retail locations. The benefits of the multi-store integration are:

  • Customers may visit any store in chain and each store will have customer/event details
  • Payments may be accepted for sales made at a remote store
  • Inventory levels of each store is available to all employees unless blocked by the utilization of STORE GROUPs.
  • Easy management of trackable inventory transfers from one store to another
  • Consolidated Reporting

Stores may view prospects, customers, events and tickets created at any other store. Edits may be done to any data, other than tickets. Tickets may be viewed and payments added. No other adjustments may be made to a ticket, those have to be done at the creating store.

Set-up Overview

Each store of the chain must be entered into the Store/Accounts form.

Optionally a Region may be assigned to a store. See Region Topic for more information. Optionally a Store Group code may be assigned to a store. See Store Groups Topic for more information. Optionally a Store class code may be assigned to a store. See Store Classes Topic for more information.

Hint: Make sure each store's store id / code is the same number of characters. This makes it simple to lookup via store lookups.

Each store will have terminals installed. Terminals are given account names which are called registers in ProfitSystem. Consult with the network administrator for the list of register names.

Go to Register Setup and add each terminal's account name (terminals are referred to as registers). When you add a register, you can specify the store where it is located. When a Registered logins to ProfitSystem the store location is set and all data entry is owned by that store. A register can swtich Store locations (the user must have appropriate security to do so) by the file switch register/store feature.

Note: Each register name must be unique, across all stores. For this reason, you may want to append the store ID to the register name. For example, you have a register called FRONTDESK at store #1. Call the register 1FRONTDESK.
