Scan Data

Every week without scan data
certification is money left
on the table.

Altria scan data rebates are real, recurring money. InsightRS handles automated reporting — submission goes directly from your POS to IRI and MSA. The rebates land in your account. You don't touch the reporting process.

Loyalty Personalization+ (Tier 4) goes further — it's a customer retention tool that builds tobacco buying habits and drives repeat store visits. For a c-store or tobacco shop, this is a material business advantage over a competitor not running the program.

Scotch POS: Zero Altria scan data certification at any tier.
Bottle POS: Zero Altria scan data certification at any tier.

Scan data certification takes years to build. A startup cannot buy it. InsightRS earned it.

Tobacco Native
InsightRS has been serving tobacco and c-store operators since the early 1990s. This isn't adapted — it started here.
Inventory

Count it any way you sell it.
The math is always exact.

Tobacco inventory isn't simple — cartons break to packs, packs break to singles. InsightRS tracks every unit, every break, every variance. Exact shrinkage every time.

Inventory
Repackaging — exact shrinkage detection
Carton breaks to packs, packs to singles. As child items sell, the master reduces automatically. Physical count compares master and child units — exact variance, exact shrinkage, every time. 34 years of refinement across hundreds of real tobacco and c-store installs.
Why it matters

This is the feature that separates serious tobacco/c-store inventory from everything else. Carton-to-pack-to-single tracking means you know exactly where every unit went.

Ordering
Sales-based purchase advice
Buy what you actually sell. The system analyzes real sales velocity by item and suggests reorder quantities based on what moved — not gut instinct. EDI invoice importing means vendor invoices come in automatically, cost changes are flagged, and your price book stays current.
Why it matters

If your ordering advice doesn't account for how cartons break into packs and packs into singles, it's giving you wrong numbers. InsightRS combines all levels into true case-equivalent sales.

Integration
EDI invoice importing
Vendor invoices import directly in ABC record format. New items, cost changes, and retail price update suggestions appear in a worksheet. 25 years of EDI — built in the early 2000s and refined ever since. Not a new feature. A proven one.
Why it matters

Manual price book updates from distributor sheets take hours and introduce errors. EDI cuts that to minutes and the data is clean.

Operations
Group change & power tools
Change prices across a department in seconds. Modifiable grids let you see and edit exactly what you need without navigating menus. Built for operators who manage thousands of SKUs and don't have time for slow software.
Why it matters

A tobacco or c-store with 3,000+ SKUs and weekly Altria price changes needs bulk editing that actually works — not a slow item-by-item interface.

Ordering & Receiving

Know what to order
before the truck arrives.

Sales-based purchase advice tells you what moved and what to bring in. When the truck arrives, receive against the EDI invoice. Variances flag automatically. Your inventory is accurate before the driver leaves.

Compliance

Age verification built in.
Not bolted on.

High-compliance retail means every sale is a liability if the process breaks. InsightRS age verification is integrated directly into the POS transaction — not a separate app, not an afterthought.

Compliance
ID scan & date of birth prompt
Scan the ID, the system calculates age and confirms eligibility. Cashier confirmation required. Every qualifying transaction logged automatically.
Compliance
Tobacco-specific tax handling
State and local tobacco taxes calculated correctly at the item level. Different rates by product type — cigarettes, smokeless, cigars, e-cigarettes. No manual calculation, no errors.
Security
Employee security levels
Role-based permissions — what each employee can see, void, discount, and override. Every exception tracked by employee. Shrinkage accountability built into the daily workflow.
Operations
100% offline capable
Full selling, age verification, inventory, and receipts with zero internet. When Friday night outages hit competitors, your store keeps running. Not degraded mode. Full selling.
✓ Visa compliant
One call covers both. Always.
