Big Steve's ABC Liquor Store Inman, South
Carolina Big Steve's ABC
is a liquor store in Inman, SC (pop: 1885). Jeff Wilson,
like most business owners was looking for a system that
was easy to use and kept within his budget. He found his
answer in a Cash Register Express (CRE) anchored POS
system from International Point of Sale. There are many
industry specific programs out there which cost 3-5
times CRE, but Jeff found all he needed in CRE and then
some.
CRE helps Jeff out in a myriad of ways. He
"needed to track inventory, because bottles of liquor
are too expensive to have them go missing" It's detailed
inventory control keeps track of whats coming in and
what's going out while making informed buying decisions
with daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly reports.

weekend, the yearly comparison report can tell him how
much to put on the purchase orders this year. And he's
never out of stock of a big selling item because the
reorder reports won't let that happen.

Big Steve's POS system consists

 | With automated
special pricing, Big Steve's can put specific items or a
whole department on sale at the same time. Bulk pricing,
time based pricing, and mix n' match are all features
that can be set ahead of time leaving your cashiers
doing their job like normal. Like Jeff says, CRE was a
"Very easy learning curve for my employees, even though
they were computer-illiterate, they were using it and
comfortable within an hour of starting" In addition to
beer, Big Steve's sells an array of Vodkas, Tequilas,
Canadian Blends, Bourbons, Rums, Gins, and
Brandys.
One of the
biggest time savers for Big Steve's ABC is the credit
card processing. Instead of a bulky terminal from the
bank, Jeff is using PC Charge Payment Server with online
processing. Together with CRE, this provides for the
fastest credit card transaction in the industry. His
employees literally scan, scan, swipe, DONE! When the
cashier is finished ringing up items, and the customer
presents the credit card, he/she just has to swipe the
card. That's it! No need to press a "credit card"
button. Just a swipe of the card and the transaction is
processed and sale is over.
The main reason Big
Steve's ABC went with IntlPOS and CRE was good old
fashioned customer service: "When I was searching for a
POS for my new store, I looked everywhere... on the net,
at the local office depot, etc. Only one thing made me
decide to buy from International POS everytime I called
them I got a real person on the phone and they were
knowledgeable and helpful.
Of course I had a budget
that I had to stay within, but basically everyone's
price was about the same and even if International POS's
price had been higher I still would have bought their
product because of the peace of mind I had when I called
them and received a friendly voice on line. I challenge
anyone shopping for a POS to find any company that
doesn't make you choose a number to be routed somewhere
when you need help, but simply picks up the phone and
helps. You won't be disappointed if you buy from
International POS. And you can call me and I'll tell you
the same thing in person!"
