YOUR MARKET IS UNIQUE. YOUR POS SYSTEM SHOULD BE TOO.
Ethnic grocers face challenges that ordinary retail stores rarely understand.
You may carry thousands of imported products, international barcodes, bulk foods, fresh produce, halal meats, specialty ingredients and items sold by weight. You may also need EBT, integrated scales, multilingual capabilities, customer loyalty, flexible promotions and inventory controls that can handle long supplier lead times.
PCIT POS Systems understands these challenges, and we do not force every grocer into the same cookie-cutter POS package.
We offer multiple proven solutions and help you select the right platform for your store, your merchandise and your budget.
AUTO-STAR STAR-PLUS
Auto-Star is our premier full-featured grocery and supermarket solution. It is particularly well suited for growing ethnic markets, multi-lane supermarkets, international grocers and stores with complex inventory requirements.
Star-Plus can provide:
• Support for UPC and international EAN barcodes
• Integrated checkout and deli scales
• Type 2 price-embedded barcode support
• EBT SNAP and eWIC capabilities where available
• Suggested ordering and inventory replenishment

For an ethnic supermarket that wants sophisticated grocery controls and room to expand, Auto-Star deserves serious consideration.
RETAIL MANAGEMENT HERO
Retail Management Hero, commonly known as RMH, is a stable and highly configurable retail platform for independent stores and multi-location operators.
RMH is an excellent fit for established grocers that want strong inventory management, purchasing and back-office control without being completely dependent on the internet.
RMH offers:
• Fast, customizable touchscreen checkout
• Comprehensive inventory and purchasing
• Single-store and multi-store management
• Centralized pricing, promotions and reporting with RMH Central
• Built-in customer loyalty and account management
• Multilingual support, including Arabic, Spanish, French and other languages
• Integrated payment options with support for industry-specific methods through qualified integrations
• Offline operating capability
• Custom reports, mass database changes and merchandising tools

RMH is also a natural upgrade path for merchants familiar with Microsoft RMS. It combines traditional retail reliability with a more current, supported platform.
BODEGA AI
Bodega AI is designed for the modern independent market, neighborhood grocery, deli, convenience store and bodega owner who wants straightforward operation with newer technology.
It emphasizes simplicity, remote management and tools intended to help merchants improve margins instead of merely recording transactions.
Depending upon configuration, Bodega AI can provide:
• Fast scan-and-sell checkout
• AI-assisted business and profit optimization
• Remote store management from virtually anywhere
• Multilingual voice and text capabilities
• Built-in dual-pricing options
• Inventory, sales and employee management
• Integrated payment processing
• Modern touchscreen hardware
• To***co scan-data reporting and promotional programs for qualifying retailers
• Support for compatible scanners, printers, scales and payment terminals
Bodega AI can be especially attractive to smaller ethnic grocers that want a modern system without the complexity or expense of a traditional supermarket platform.
PCAMERICA CASH REGISTER EXPRESS
Then there is the venerable pcAmerica Cash Register Express, better known as CRE.
CRE has served independent retailers for many years. It may not be the newest name in the room, but it remains familiar, practical and dependable for merchants who value a conventional Windows-based POS system.
CRE can provide:
• Straightforward touchscreen checkout
• Inventory control and low-stock monitoring
• Purchase-order management
• Barcode and shelf-label printing
• EBT-capable configurations
• Customer loyalty and gift-card functions
• Employee timekeeping and security permissions
• Sales, profit and inventory reporting
• Multi-station and multi-store capabilities
• Support for established retail hardware
For a smaller independent grocer that wants a proven system, familiar workflows and local technical support, pcAmerica can still be a sensible and economical choice.
THE PCIT POS DIFFERENCE
Choosing software is only part of the job.
PCIT POS Systems can help with:
• Store and checkout-lane design
• Product-database preparation and cleanup
• Importing thousands of existing items
• EBT and payment integration
• Scanner-scale and deli-scale configuration
• Barcode printers, shelf labels and electronic shelf labels
• Network installation and security
• Employee training
• On-site installation and ongoing support
• Migration from an older POS system
• Single-store and multi-store deployments
Most importantly, we listen before recommending a system.
A neighborhood halal market does not necessarily need the same platform as a large international supermarket. A two-lane Caribbean grocery has different requirements from a multi-location Latin market with wholesale customers, deli scales and 40,000 items.
PCIT POS Systems supports multiple platforms because the right solution should fit the merchant—not the other way around.
Call PCIT POS Systems at 714-574-8980 to schedule a consultation and find the right POS system for your ethnic grocery, international market, halal market, carnicería, Caribbean grocery, Asian market, European market or specialty food store.
