If you go to the Gallery, you will see several examples of CoPOS systems in use, as well an example of label usage.

A two-lane store with a weigh station would cost just under $13,000.

In addition to the standard terminal box, monitor and keyboard, each lane would include:

• Scanner
• Scale
• Receipt printer
• Cash drawer
• The weigh station would have a scale and label printer.

A system printer and additional label printer are also included in this configuration.

This includes scanners, scales, receipt and label printers, as well as all of the computer-related hardware, such as terminals, monitors, keyboards and servers.

Here is more detailed product information…

Prior to installation, the store is responsible for:

• All wiring, including both network and electrical. We can provide specs for the network, but will not do the actual wiring.
• Preparation of the counters and/or checkout lanes.
• Providing an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for each station.

The installation process consists of four steps:

1. CoPOS conducts an uptake interview to collect information specific to your store. The uptake interview provides the information and details about the operation of your store and usually takes less than one hour. This is some of the information that we need to set up your CoPOS System: 
   • Base operational parameters such as sales tax, store address, etc.
   • Discounts and membership structure.
   • Departments and their related properties.
2. CoPOS provides you with our standard CoPOS Item Template and Membership Template. The store is responsible for populating these templates. The information in these templates provides the data that will be loaded into the database. (CoPOS can usually get your store’s purchasing history from UNFI, which saves you time.) We suggest that you enter as many items as possible prior to going live. Accurate pricing is a must.
3. CoPOS orders the hardware agreed upon in the final estimate. We assemble, configure and test all hardware prior to shipment.
4. CoPOS schedules a go-live time. The quote specifies two days for setup and training. We are generally able to get the equipment set up in one evening, leaving plenty of time for training. After that, we’re only a phone call away.

It takes about 6 to 8 weeks to go live, once the contract is signed.

CoPOS began as an outgrowth of a point-of-sale (POS) system developed by Ken Geiger. His POS system, unique to co-ops, began at Bluff Country Co-op in Winona, Minn. He quickly expanded to other local co-ops and beyond. CoPOS is now used by over 65 co-ops and small grocers nation-wide.
