Specialist Retailing
Kudos is designed to deliver to a number of different charity retailers
Every charity retailer is unique, working with Kudos means that the solution you implement works with you, and develops with you too. Here are some examples, and if what’s unique about your charity isn’t covered remember that with Kudos you choose what buttons to use and what they do, and the software is feature-rich so please talk to us, if we can help, we will.
Collections and deliveries
Simple processes for arranging collections and deliveries that feature load-bearing, donor sign-up at collection and E-Booker on-line bookings. Managing furniture is something we’ve invested a lot of time in, read more on what Kudos does to help.
Café
What’s specific about café’s is that you can sell on a tab in Kudos, and what’s good about the touch-screen designer is that you can design you café layout or create buttons for the food and drink you sell.
What’s really great is that whether it’s a café, up-cycled fashion, books, or wedding dresses, you can tailor the buttons to meet the needs of you shop.
Discount shop
It’s easy in Kudos to tailor your screens to your £1 or discount shop so stock is quick to sell, and still claim Gift Aid on. Reporting is setup so you see how well your discount shops are working, and compare between them.
E-Booker
The easy way to arrange collections on-line for donated goods. That’s Kudos.
E-Booker is an online tool for donors to book furniture or clothing collections through the charity’s website. It hooks in directly to the van round calendar in Kudos so your donors can see, and book, available collection slots in real-time.
E-Booker can help boost the quality and quantity of donations.
KUDOS STOCK CONTROL
Barcoding, a powerful tool – is it right for you?
Tracking donors at point of sale to apply for the gift aid redemption is a key revenue driver. Barcodes can be a great way to do this. At Kudos we never apply a ‘one-size-fits-all’ policy. We’ll work with you to discover whether and how one scan or donor only barcoding might work for you.
Naturally Kudos will seamlessly integrate barcoding and allow you to take advantage of this simple but powerful technology.
It all starts with your donated items
At Kudos we’re here to help you easily track donated items. From the moment they arrive you may wish to tag the donor and price in the stock room and then perhaps transfer them to another site or sell them online.
Of course, Kudos will support the processes you have to track stock, maximise sales and record Retail Gift Aid.
Bought in goods is a valuable component of your profit
Full stock valuations across all your branches at selling or average cost prices, stock transfers, central ordering for local delivery, your Kudos package supports it all.
Ever since we started in 1995, we’ve been building systems from purchase to sale, and that experience shows in our standard functions for stock purchase processing, suggested order generations and optimised stock deployment across the estate.
Kudos furniture module also supports bought in refurbished items, for example for white goods, and processes the VAT and purchase order fully and automatically.
Accounts Integration
Kudos offers comprehensive integration with Sage 50, 200 and Access Accounting, and summary integration with many accounting packages so we work with your choice of accounting system and your option for the level of integration.
