The Keystroke Advanced POS system combines a user-friendly interface with exceptional speed and flexibility to provide a powerful, yet affordable automated management system. Keystroke excels in the areas of streamlined transaction entry and the ability to quickly locate information through robust search, lookup and reporting functions. The Keystroke TouchScreen Editor provides complete control of the design and management of the touch buttons.
The system includes many features typically found only in high-priced proprietary systems. Keystroke captures complete transaction details at the "Point Of Sale". Transaction history is stored indefinitely and database records are updated in real-time, so your valuable data is always immediately available!
Access to the system and your valuable data is protected by a multi-level security system with PCI Compliant passwords and a hidden audit trail capable of recording each and every keystroke if necessary.
The Keystroke base license includes: point of sale functions, purchasing, inventory control, customer tracking, accounts receivable, barcode label printing, extensive reporting capabilities, support for most POS-related hardware and sample data files.
A variety of Keystroke Extension Programs and integration/utility programs are available to add unique capabilities and to custom-fit the system to the needs of nearly any business.
Context sensitive help screens and 90 days of Gold Software Maintenance Service (with toll-free technical support) are included with all new base licenses.
A separate software license identified by a unique Keystroke POS Serial Number must be purchased for each separate business entity (store location) using the software regardless of the technology used to access the software. For licensing questions, please call SBS or consult with your local Authorized Keystroke Dealer.

Quick Start Guide

The FREE Evaluation Software
•
The FREE Evaluation Software is available for anyone wishing to review, test or demonstrate the capabilities of Keystroke Advanced POS before buying.
•
All features of the Keystroke Advanced POS base license are fully operational; however, it is limited in the number of transactions it can save (about 100 sales invoices, purchase orders, etc.) and the Keystroke Extensions are limited in various ways. The included sample data files may be used or unique user-generated data may be entered (Inventory, Customers, Vendors, etc.).
•
When it is determined that Keystroke Advanced POS is the right system for the business, any data already entered in the Evaluation software can be retained upon the purchase of a licensed base system. With the assistance of a local Authorized Keystroke Dealer, the licensed system can be installed in just a few minutes (excluding networking, peripheral hardware, and advanced configuration options) right over the Evaluation software.
