Creation of Bar-coded Labels
Not all retail stores can rely on all or even most of their products having UPC labels. Lack of a label can slow down the check out process and increase errors. The EXEControl® system provides simple routines to quickly create barcode labels. The vendor order goods receipt routine will allow the user to create barcode labels for any and all items being received into the system. The creation of internal barcode labels can also be used to create a consistent barcode label capable of being found on any and all items in the store. When printing barcode labels through EXEControl®, any information desired may be printed on the label in text and/or barcode format. Available information for the barcode labels includes inventory SKU, serial number, price and product description.

Inventory Management
Every business has inventory, especially retail. For retail companies the level of inventory, SKU selections and price levels make a huge difference to daily sales. EXEControl® gives each store and the headquarters the tools necessary to make such decisions.

Full Accounting
EXEControl® doesn’t stop at the counter but completes the process by producing full accounting financials. Complete accounts payable and cash disbursements also are integrated to the EXEControl® system.

Customer Retention programs
Every aspect of the EXEControl® system has been designed to maintain loyal customers. The ‘customer loyalty program’ is an offensive program to preserve and increase your customer base. Quick and simple check out processes and proper inventory levels help to ensure a faithful following as well. EXEControl® even supports a complete CRM system to maximize customer satisfaction.

Time Reporting and Payroll
EXEControl® supports the payroll tax and state requirements of all 50 states. Electronic time clock allows for hourly employees to get paid without the need for time consuming totaling of time clock records. EXEcontrol® also support the payment of commission and/or consignment sales via the payroll system.

Consolidated Purchasing
EXEControl® supports centralized corporate head quarter purchasing for all stores. Cross-store visibility and inventory transfer rules assist in the ability to reduce inventory levels and maximize purchasing power.

Electronic Vendor Communications
EXEControl® supports electronic communications with vendors. EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and XML are two of the more popular protocols used between retail and vendors. Purchase orders, advance shipping notices, invoicing and disbursement records can all be transmitted electronically.

Document Storage and Retrieval
Document storage and retrieval can be used for many purposes in a retail environment. These include:

• Scan and association of signed contracts and sales receipts
• Vendor order packing receipt paper work
• Vendor invoices
• General correspondences

EXEControl® offers barcode association technology to automatically link scanned documents with their associated computerized business records.

Sales Analysis
EXEControl® can produce an unlimited series of sales analysis reports. The reports can show information such as store sales, dollars per hour per store, per employee and contact management efforts to sales dollars realized. Sales can be broken down in multiple sub break points by product line, sku, salesman, promotion codes and more. If customer loyalty programs exist and customers (or at least some) are identified as part of the counter transaction, customer purchase patters may also be analyzed.
