Readysell has compiled a PC Maintenance Guide to assist our customers with ensuring the smooth day-to-day operation of their PCs. This guide can be found in the Downloads section of our web site and covers data clean up, anti-virus and anti-malware.
We are happy to hear your feedback on this material as well as suggestions on any other areas of PC Maintenance which would be helpful to add in the future.
We have recently sent out an updated set of images for all new products from June to October 2011.
These images should now be updated on your system. If your images have not been updated, please contact Readysell Support so that we can investigate.
Not too long ago we sent out a poll requesting feedback on how we should handle uploading of pricing data to WebSphere. 85% of respondents agreed that the “Custom Price Level” method would best suit their needs. Based on this feedback we have been busy developing and testing a new version of RObI.
Today we are pleased to announce that we are ready to begin rolling out this update to any interested Readysell customer. The key features of this integration are:
Please note, however, once a price override is created you will be taking “ownership” of the pricing for that product. For the immediate future you will not be able to revert back to WebSphere pricing. We will be working with Office Brands over the coming months to make this a possibility, however, please take this into consideration when evaluating if you would like to use this new feature.
Additionally, you will not be able to define bulk pricing for catalogue products – any bulk pricing defined by Office Brands will be lost if you override the pricing.
If you are interested in this new feature, please send an email to support@readysell.com.au and we will contact you to discuss implementation.
Separate to the override feature detailed above, all members are now able to upload bulk pricing for store products only. This new feature is in place effective immediately.
To start using this feature, simply set up your web products as usual and use the “Qty Break” field and your regular pricing levels to define your bulk pricing.
In addition to the inclusion of the above features, our Readysell-Office Brands Integration User Guide has been updated to include more information about integrating your Readysell system with WebSphere. The updated documentation can be found at the Downloads sections of our web site.
Readysell and Office Brands are currently investigating further Readysell-WebSphere integration points. One commonly requested feature is to allow stores to upload general pricing data (i.e. pricing not attached to a specific customer contract).
There are a number of techniques that could be employed to achieve this level of integration, these are:
We are running a quick poll to check which method our customers are most interested in. We invite you to vote below (or at click here if you are having trouble) to assist us in ensuring this change best fits your needs.

Recently we have had a number of customers enquire about the loyalty points system built into Readysell. This system allows your customers to accumulate loyalty points as they spend with you and then redeem these points at a later time as a form of tender.
To help increase awareness and adoption of this feature we have created some documentation that covers how to set up and use the loyalty points system. You can find the document in the Downloads Section of our web site.
Readysell Mobile is Readysell’s software for Windows CE based mobile barcode scanning units for use in warehouse situations. We have recently added a new feature to this software – Stock Put Away.
Stock Put Away is a process that can take place after receipting goods. It allows you to scan each received item and then validate it is taken to the correct warehouse location. This feature can be used to reduce errors occurring when new stock is received.
You can find out more about this feature by reviewing the updated ReadysellMobile User Guide in the Downloads Section of our web site.
Readysell has been supporting integrated EFTPOS via the PC-EFTPOS software for a number of years. But did you know that you can now submit these EFTPOS transactions to your bank via your existing Internet connection? This new techology is called the “IP Communications Gateway” and it removes the requirement for having a special modem and an extra phone line for your EFTPOS devices.
For our customers who have moved to this technology, we have a document available in the Downloads section of our web site called “PC-EFTPOS IP Communications Gateway Installation Guide” that outlines the steps required to set up your integrated EFTPOS with the IP Communications Gateway. If you would like more information about the IP Communications Gateway, please drop an email to support@readysell.com.au.
Readysell offers integrated EFTPOS as a way to decrease mistakes and increase efficiency when processing EFTPOS transactions at the Point of Sale. But did you know that you can also use the Integrated terminals for MOTO (Mail Order and Telephone Order) transactions?
A MOTO transaction allows you to accept an EFTPOS payment without using the physical card. We now have a document available in the Downloads section of our web site called “Manual Card Entry for Integrated EFTPOS” that outlines the steps required to process MOTO transactions on your integrated devices.
Please Note: This procedure only applies to customers with integrated EFTPOS units.
As a follow-up to last week’s refresher on Once-a-Month Invoicing, we now have a document covering the customer order process available in the Downloads Section of our web site. We look forward to your feedback on the document and hope it assists in training your staff to use the Once-a-Month invoicing process.
