Startup and transition

I am very busy, how long does it take to get started with Tilroy?

The startup time depends on the size of your business (number of stores) and the number of products you sell. In principle, you can start working with your Tilroy cash registers within a week after ordering. You can manage the integrated webshop yourself after startup, so you decide how quickly your items appear online.

Good preparation is half the battle. If you have the following lists, we can upload them for you so that you can start with a ready-to-use system.

  • List of all products (incl. colors, sizes, stock, product groups, ...)
  • List of prices (purchase, VAT, sales, ...)
  • List of customers (address data, e-mail, VAT numbers, ...)
Can I transfer my store data (customers, items, etc.) to Tilroy?

If you can export data from your existing system, or if you have data lists, we can probably load them into Tilroy at no additional cost.

I am not that tech savvy, how hard is it to put my customers and products into the system?

Tilroy is a very user-friendly product. The most obvious functions are self-explanatory. Moreover, you will get access to an online manual with search function. If necessary, we can also provide training for you and/or your staff to quickly get started with Tilroy.

How do I add products and is there a maximum on this?

In Tilroy, you can add as many products as you want at no extra cost. You can also add a lot of product features:

- Photos (unlimited number per product).
- Article description (in different languages)
- Barcode (these are also automatically created by the system if you don't have one)
- Brand
- Sizes
- color
- Supplier
- Price information: purchase price, selling price, promo price, ...
- VAT
- Category
- Related products
- ...

You can create products "on-the-go," such as when you place your order with a supplier; or you can upload an Excel or CSV file with the data.

Hardware and data

I don't have a reliable internet connection, will Tilroy continue to work?

An Internet connection is all you need to work with Tilroy wherever you want. Internet connections are becoming faster and more stable, so you are almost guaranteed mobile freedom. If your Internet connection via cable or Wi-Fi is not stable enough, you can always use a 3G or 4G connection as a backup.

Tilroy provides a stable service with great attention to information security: highly trained staff, network redundancy, data backup, emergency power supply, attack detection ... these are just a few examples of our security policy.

Is Tilroy compatible with my existing hardware?

Internet suffices to open Tilroy in your web browser. Tilroy works on most tablets (iPad, Android, ...), PCs and laptops (Windows and Apple) or on your existing (touchscreen) POS devices.

Do keep in mind that there are limitations in terms of using iPads or other tablets as POS. Of course sales are possible but they cannot be seen as complete Point Of Sale systems because it is not possible to link payment terminals and label - and ticket printers.
