Self Check-Out
- came, saw, paid!
Self Check-Out (SCO) is a valuable add-on to commercial capacity of your gas station network. Besides the significant advantage of instant payment for your order without a queue, SCO features are:
adaptation to different screen sizes and functions, depending on the type of gas station;
less installation space than a cashier’s workplace;
increased sales by reducing queues; reduced cash turnover using payment cards or other cashless payment methods;
time saver for gas station employees: customer is self-served while the employee is managing the store;
ensuring sanitary standards during pandemics, attracts introverts from competitors’'s gas stations.
SCO primary focus is fast customer service, including some extra customer attracting features that stimulate sale activity:
ads playback in stand-by mode or interacting with the customer..
along with product images SCO can display various marketing labels coming from the central office, like a "top product 🔥", "excellent price👍", or a "new product 🆕";
buying barcodeless items, such as drinks and snacks, selecting images from the hotkey menu (link to FFQ).
Give your customer a choice to scan and pay for their order without communicating with the cashier while listening to their favorite podcasts or music in earphones!
OPT
Outdoor payment terminal (OPT) for self-service allows customers to fully automate the process of refueling. The fuel and payment type are selected by the customers themselves without staff assistance. Ergonomic interface simplifies interaction with the terminal to a few touches.
In close cooperation with market leading OPT hardware manufacturers, Hectronic GmbH (Germany) and FinnPOS Oy (Finland), MasterPOS cash register features interactive multilingual OPT interface, meeting market-specific requirements and ease of use.
OPTs are installed on self-service gas stations, full-service gas stations or a mixed type (a day time they are run by operators and a self-service at night).
Loyalty programs
Efficient and versatile loyalty programs bring up a touchpoint with the customers and take advantages of the brand, while being constantly supported at all levels of the company infrastructure. Along with continual developing background and featuring our partnership in marketing research we have implemented our own design and concept across all levels of the system, delivering exceptional features of promotion management:
Divide and conquer
Centralized discount and promotion management for various customer groups split by geographical regions and distribution network branches.
Buy 19 liters and get 1 free!
Discounts are calculated and applied iteratively in money equivalent or by percent depending on the volume or cost of the purchased goods.
Gifts and prizes
Promotions are designed as discount groups or shopping carts with prizes or other rewards.
Bonus program
Online processing allows customers to accumulate and spend points, motivating to take advantages of retail services.
Customer profile
Consumer behavior is reflected in the central office analytical reports based on sales statistics.
Goods and services management
Streamlined turnover process is the milestone of successful trade. In order to eliminate the complexities of your manual operations and enable managers to focus on really significant aspects in the company's activities, we have developed "Turnover" - a time- and cost-efficient application for prompt and easy everyday management at your gas stations and stores:
The range of goods is classified by goods features, regional units and price categories.
Stock control automation significantly simplifies invoicing as well as minimizes manual input errors during inventories.
Real-time sales statistics, ABC/XYZ classification, forecast optimization and other metrics for any specified period.
Non-cash payment systems
We offer a broad range of services for electronic payments. Along with various integrated bank and fleet card solutions, we offer a proprietary non-cash payment system based on electronic payments and coupons.
Electronic payments
Speed and convenience of electronic payments has long been acknowledged by the top retailers. Such payment method is fast and handy, as well as highly motivating for the customer.
Customer identification is carried out through a branded card or QR-code on the smartphone. Financial transactions are handled both online and offline. The complexity of the payment scenarios varies depending on the point of sale location (for example, post-pay is applied in stores with a cashier while prepayment is used at self-service gas stations with OPT equipment).
Customer's account can be linked to several cards with a different set of restrictions, exclusive prices and discounts. Funds could be kept in money equivalent as well as in liters, bonuses and even in specific services.
Customers can always check their virtual account status, purchases, payments and reports in their Personal Account of MasterWEB application on the company's website.
E-coupons
E-coupons help to attract customers to the retail chain and may become one of the tools for the company promotion on the market.
E-coupons are similar to the company's own currency. They are used to provide customers with a fixed amount of goods and services from the deposit created earlier.
However, E-coupons do not have defined owner, they can be transferred to family members, friends or handed out to the company employees as a bonus. This financial model is usually a subject of interest for forwarding and logistics companies as well as for city communal departments.
Each coupon is unique. It is authorized online and is given a set of digital security features.
Data exchange
Who rules the data, rules the world.
MasterETL software package supports non-stop operational data collection and up-to-date business data distribution in the company's commercial network. All changes are monitored in real-time and new data is transferred as captured, which is opposite to the traditional approach, when large batches are extracted and uploaded due to a fixed schedule.
Due to the functional capabilities of our solution and chosen data representation standard, less efforts are required to integrate with external CRM and ERP systems.
Electronic Licensing
Experience in providing multiple solutions for a wide range of demands and functional requirements has enabled us to develop a convenient, dynamic system for electronic license management. The IPS software is activated online through the Product Activation Service (PAS). In addition to the service functions, PAS provides the fuel company manager with a personal office where he can manage all purchased licenses directly through the browser:
up-to-date information on the type, composition, status and duration of licenses, number of activated and free copies;
redistribution of functional modules between workstations;
possibility of offline activation of the license in case of internet connection problems.
The modular licensing principle, which underlies all IPS products, is easy on the company's budget, as it is no longer necessary to pay for a black box with a number of unused functions. Each company selects the modules it needs for its business.
Centralized management in your personal office allows you to independently redistribute functional modules between workstations at any time, without IPS specialists – running applications automatically recognize and adopt the updated scheme! This allows to move the “cafe”module to move to another station when reorganizing, e.g. in connection with the planned station renovation.
Improved security with multi-factor authentication and a list of trusted users makes PAS a reliable tool for managing your licenses.
