## Description

EPOS \(Electronic Point of sale\) aims to implement a web-enabled application that would provide complete control over all aspects of the maintenance and management of the entire EPOS system of the catering department\. It will provide a toolset to maintain the entire EPOS estate including products and prices on 4 campuses\. The project aims to provide real time, multi-tiered access to point-of-sale information, including an integrated reporting & digital dashboard to enable users to easily manage the business\. This would provide Key Performance Indicators \(KPI\) and real-time reporting\. Stock integration would give users complete control over G\.P, and allow for the authorisation and tracking of purchases as well as giving an instant view of stock that is held, by both quantity and value\. UCA has 4 campuses and there are multiple activities that need to be managed\. Users often struggle to manage the activity and provide just in time ordering of stock to balance sales\. In addition the reconciliation of the financial status of the business provides a challenge which technology can assist with\. This would improver the overall management and enhance user experience\. The program aims to implement identity in achievable, sequenced projects to achieve its goals\. Additional information: Tender questions and UCA formal response added\.
