Introduction

The Touch Sales Screen is the default sales screen type used in Amicus.  It was originally designed to be used exclusively with Touch Screen terminals, which is where it gets its name, but is now used by many of our users.  This sales screen is ideal for a variety of retail scenarios, due to its primary strength, in that this screen is is very customisable.  What this means is that each control on the screen can be positioned or resized to suit your business needs, as well hiding buttons, labels etc. that you don't wish to see.  Another strength of this screen is that it has built in 'Product Pads' which are regions of the screen where you can add your own buttons.  These buttons are effectively shortcuts for things like adding products or accessing desired functionality.  Have a look below for examples of how this screen can be used.
