Overview
The Compatible Software Systems (CSS) programs are specifically designed for the convenience store
that sells fuel. CSS has interfaces available for the following Point of Sale (POS) systems - Wayne
Nucleus, Gilbarco G-Site, Gilbarco Passport, Retalix, Verifone Ruby and Verifone Sapphire/Topaz.
These POS interfaces are used to receive daily accounting and PLU/UPC sales data and to send scanning
data, fuel prices and other POS configuration data.
The software is divided into modules because not all stores require or need to use a complete accounting
system. That may be the purview of outside accountants and payroll services. And some stores are a part
of larger business where the general accounting is performed at a higher corporate level. Most
convenience stores use at a minimum the two core modules - Dailybook and Inventory Management
(Nucleus, G-Site, Passport, Retalix, Ruby and Sapphire). These modules contain the very specific
accounting and record keeping requirements of a convenience store along with many configuration options
for your specific business. The Dailybook program contains fuel management functions and the daily
accounting of sales, cash, credit cards, paidouts etc. The inventory module is a perpetual inventory
system and also contains the interfaces to the POS system.
A portable data terminal (PDT) is available for receiving vendor deliveries, taking a physical inventory
audit and making price checks. For major general distributors like Coremark and McLane invoices can be
received via e-mail or Easylink for posting to the inventory files. Other vendors may offer receipt via
Internet FTP or bulletin board service.
QuickBooks and Peachtree interfaces are available for the general accounting and payroll functions.
These interfaces read and write directly to the QuickBooks and Peachtree data files. Also available is an
export interface so that other accounting programs like MAS 90 may import the accounting data.
CSS may be run on a single standalone PC or a network. Passwords may be setup to limit certain users to
specific operations. There are built in backup and restore programs. The backup program will warn the
user if a backup has not been successfully completed in the last twenty four hours.
