CAP POS uses some of the latest technology and allows polling over the Internet. There is no accounting module included, but data can be exported directly into several existing accounting programs, as well as Microsoft Excel or as tab-delimited text. CAP Automation also sells a slimmed-down version of CAP POS called Cash 'N Carry. It is designed for outlets like gift shops that perform many small quick sales. The function keys are large with contrasting colors that make them easy to see.
Cashiers can easily look up items and prices as well as a very detailed customer database.
CAP POS includes an Open Department key that allows non-stock items to be entered and sold during a transaction, eliminating the need to stop a sale and switch to another module. Exceptions to standard sales, such as over-rings, voids and no sales, are tracked in a hidden data file and can be recalled into a graph to track clerk performance. The screen will then adjust itself and lay out accordingly. For the left-handers, the function buttons are moved to the left of the screen for ease of access. CAP SellWise is the interface for inventory, vendor and customer management.
