At Saturn Retail Management Systems we set out to design a point-of-sale system that would meet the needs of a growing store without breaking the bank but still delivering tomorrow's technology, today!
With over 30 years of point-of-sale technology experience, we know great software means nothing unless it runs on great hardware, and it better be backed up by an even better warranty. It is your livelihood we're talking about after all.
All of this great hardware means nothing without a company that stands behind it. As long as you're our customer, we will stand behind our products 100%. If anything breaks, for any reason, we strive to be at your store the same day to fix or replace the failed part. We are committed to making sure your point of sale system just works.
Slimline Computer
We use a small footprint to take up as little room as possible in your store. In retail, space equals money. At our core, we're dedicated to getting you the most amount of technology at the lowest price point possible. Even taking into account the amount of counter space we use is less selling space for you.
Solid State Drives
All of the computers supplied by Saturn RMS have solid-state drives (SSD). When you're looking for something, we want the information delivered as fast as possible. We understand that time is money and your time is more valuable than waiting for a screen to load. SSD drives are also more reliable as they have no spinning parts to break down over time.
Automated Backups
Your data is irreplaceable and we make sure to treat it that way. We have an automated backup system that backs up your data files each night to an included USB flash drive. We have also implemented an online backup of your data files and any documents you use. If a machine were to crash, all of your important files are already backed up for you. You can also access your files from any computer that is connected to the internet.
Bar-code Scanner
Symbol has a reputation for making tough scanners. It is the most likely piece of equipment to get broken, that's why we picked one of the toughest yet versatile scanners on the market. The hands-free design allows the cashier to scan items without having to touch the scanner. This allows for quicker scans that result in shorter check-out lines and better customer service. This scanner also has the capability of being removed from the cradle to scan large bags, making the cashier's job easier.
Receipt Printer
At Saturn RMS, we only use thermal receipt printers. They have quite a few advantages over dot matrix receipt printers. They're a lot faster, the print quality is much better, they have the ability to do custom logos at the top of each receipt, they're much more reliable as they have fewer moving parts, and at the end of the day, the cost of ownership is much less. Thermal receipt paper is more expensive than dot matrix paper. There is the added cost of ribbons for dot matrix printers and when you add in the cost of repairs and the more frequent the repairs for dot matrix printers, the cost of ownership swings heavily in favor of thermal printers.
Cash Drawer
Cash drawers get abused. That is why we choose an all-steel construction cash drawer that can stand up to abuse year after year. The APG Series 100 is a compact drawer that offers all of the room of a big drawer, without all the wasted space. We are committed to giving you the best possible hardware without taking up your entire counter. The cashier, customer, and the products should be the focal point of a checkout lane, not the point of sale system.
Monitor, Mouse, and Keyboard
As in everything we do here at Saturn RMS, we only use great quality products. If we wouldn't use the hardware ourselves, we wouldn't put it in your store. We offer 15” and 17” touch monitors depending on what the store prefers and the counter layout. The keyboard we use depends on how the system gets installed. If the cash drawer sits on top of the counter, we use a small form keyboard that fits on top of the cash drawer. If the cash drawer gets mounted under the counter, you can choose from a wireless small-form keyboard or a wired full-size keyboard. The mouse will vary but usually Logitech mice are what we use and prefer.
