Basic knowledge 1: Basics
The concept of the Hypersoft item master is that this is the source of all conceivable item information of your business. It has proven itself in practice to use a common item master for all areas in which one needs item data.
Depending on your interest, this may include further information in addition to the cash register data:
- Webshop sales data and pictures
- Allergens, Ingredients and Nutritional Values
- Recipes and components
- Preparation instructions and special texts
- Order data and stock data
- Purchase prices and average prices
- categories and tax rates
- Capacity specifications and preparation times
It goes without saying that, depending on the scope of your plan, a certain amount of planning and preparation is also useful for optimal item entry. On the other hand, working with the Hypersoft item master can be as easy as your requirements are.
Create an overview before you start
Before you create your items or expand your POS system with the solutions, you should prepare a concept. In addition, there is individual pricing according to situation and location, as well as channels. If you simply use an article master without thinking about it, you may have to make some changes later. So record your conditions and then create a suitable concept (together with us).
