Getting Started With Tagrain
Congratulations on signing up with Tagrain!
Welcome to the world of Easy Selling!
Purpose
The purpose of the Getting Started section is to capture information about your company and its products. Based on the business vertical selected at the time of tenant registration, we load the Demo Data in the application. This data is tailored to suit your retail business. You can use this Demo Data to get familiar with the application and start your retail business in the minimum possible time.
The Help Us Know You Better Pop Up
When you log in to your Tenant for the first time, you see the “Help us know you better” pop up screen with some predefined questions.
You must answer these questions pertaining to your retail business to help us know you and your business environment better. These questions are:
-- How many stores do you own?
-- Are you currently using a POS System?
-- Which POS system do you use?
-- Which ERP or accounting software do you use?
-- How do you want to sell your products?
-- What is your current monthly revenue? (Approximately in USD).
Once you have answered these questions, you need to click the Next button to save this information and proceed to the next pop up - Manage Demo Data
The Manage Demo Data Pop Up Screen
The Manage Demo Data pop up gives you the option to choose whether you want to retain the Demo Data or purge the Demo Data. The Demo Data is loaded in the application based on the business vertical selected at the time of tenant registration.
The Choose Your Plugin Pop Up
The Manage Demo Data pop up gives you the flexibility to select a plugin(s) from the list of available plugins and view the pre-activated plugins. See: Plugins.
Depending upon the business vertical that you select as a part of Tagrain evaluation, some Plugins might come pre-activated. For example, if you select Fashion & Clothing as your vertical, you should have the following Plugins pre-activated: Variant and Composite Product Management Plugin This plugin allows you to manage your product portfolio by letting you define Variant and Composite products. Serial and Batch Product Management Plugin This plugin allows you to manage your product portfolio by letting you define Serial and Batch products. Gift Cards and Credit Memos Plugin This plugin allows you to manage your product portfolio by letting you define Gift Cards. |
Click on the Start Selling button. This takes you to the Web Register. Select the POS that you intend to use (in case there are multiple POS defined) and click “Open”. Enter the starting float and the Point-of-Sale screen opens where you can start recording sale transactions. For further information on how to use POS, refer to the documentation on Web Register.
