Superdrug Small PoS project
Ultimedia provide a Small Point of Sale (PoS) system for Superdrug.
Ultimedia have developed this web-based system on behalf of Bezier to produce shelf edge labels and bin / gondola PoS material from data originally uploaded from a spreadsheet.
The system uploads a spreadsheet of product information for a particular promotional event and then allows this information to be modifed and added to to create a definitive list of product information for the promotion. Selected pieces of product information can be chosen to be used as A4 / A5 PoS material as well as producing shelf edge labels.
Users can generate PDF proofs of individual PoS items or choose a list of items to generate a proof for.
Proofs and final print-ready output are generated by merging uploaded data with Adobe InDesign templates, performing imposition by using PPML (Personalised Print Mark-up Language). Use of PPML also allows users to easily specify changes in impositioning rules and feedstock sizes.
Once an event has been approved, the print-quality PostScript files for the PoS data are generated and automatically saved to filestore ready for printing. The event is then locked to prevent subsequent updates.
