Linking actinic to an epos system

[3000rpm]

is it possible to link actinic to an epos system so both share a common database?

i need something with better facilities for doing purchase orders, booking in/out stock and serving customers if they have not ordered on website.

if so is this easily done and what software is the best for this if anyone else does this would be great to find out.

thank you

Have you looked here.

Seems like a good place to start.

Hi,
I was under the impression that the Epos would not work alongside Actinic at present.
I too want to do this but am awaiting a program that works all together.

This was taken from the latest Actinic newsletter received earlier in the week and from the wording it may do the job. I too am interested in doing this with my business.

With the imminent launch of the Actinic Ecommerce-EPOS Link in the New Year, we would like to hear from any Actinic ecommerce merchants, who also have a retail store, and would be interested in piloting the new link. The Link will enable increased efficiency in multi-channel businesses, and we are looking to recruit interested parties to use and feedback on the product.

The Actinic offer is well worth looking into.

BTW I wrote NorCat (www.drillpine.biz/norcat) which links the Top To Toe EPOS system into Actinic V7. This was designed to let you keep ALL your product info in the EPOS system and to automatically build the website from the current physical stock. The only bit of Actinic the end store people need to use is the Order Download. Everything else is done in the EPOS.

There are about 15 stores using this. They all have bricks and mortar type stores, selling seasonal type products, and wanted the web site to be able to display their current stock.

Thanks for that norman,
Do you or anyone else know if the epos will run live stock on the website side of things aswell.
I really need the website I have to be updated as I sell an item in my retail store.
Thanks.

I've no idea. Best wait until Monday and ask Actinic sales.
