EPOS System
Eskimo Integration
Zynk's Eskimo integration takes the sales, payments, customers and products recorded in Eskimo EPOS and posts them to your accounting system. It suits schoolwear retailers using Eskimo who keep their books in Sage 50, Sage 200, Xero, QuickBooks or Sage Accounting, and want till takings in the ledger without manual journals or end of day rekeying.
Capabilities may differ depending on the product.
Benefits
Why businesses connect Eskimo
Till sales in the ledger
Sales recorded in Eskimo export to your accounts as invoices, sales receipts or summarised transactions, coded to the nominal accounts and tax rates your accountant has already set up.
Each tender type to the right account
Tender types export from Eskimo, so cash, card and other payment methods each post to the correct bank or clearing account, which makes daily takings far easier to reconcile.
Account and invoice payments kept apart
Payments taken against customer accounts and invoices export separately from till sales, so the balances your account customers owe stay correct in the sales ledger.
Customers set up once
Customers created in Eskimo export to your accounting system, so account customers do not need entering twice and statements carry the same details as the till.
Product codes that match
Products export from Eskimo for mapping against stock or nominal codes in the accounts, so sales analysis by product line still holds up when month end arrives.

The problem
Why integrate Eskimo?
An EPOS system records every sale, but the accounts still need those figures. Without integration, someone reads the end of day reports from Eskimo and keys totals, payments and new customers into Sage, Xero or QuickBooks. It is slow, easy to get wrong and hard to unpick when the bank does not match.
Without integration
- Daily takings keyed into the accounts from printed till reports
- Card and cash totals that never quite match the bank
- Account customer payments recorded twice or not at all
- New customers created by hand in the accounting system
- Month end spent tracing differences between till reports and the ledger
With Zynk
- Sales export from Eskimo and post to the accounts automatically
- Tender types map each payment method to its own account
- Account and invoice payments post against the right customer
- Customers export from Eskimo into the sales ledger
- Each day's sales and payments are already in the accounts when month end starts
How it works
How the Eskimo integration works
Step 1: Link Eskimo and your accounts
Zynk connects to Eskimo EPOS and to your accounting package, whether that is Sage 50, Sage 200, Xero, QuickBooks or Sage Business Cloud Accounting.
Step 2: Decide how sales post
We agree whether sales post as individual invoices or daily summaries, and map products, tax rates and tender types to nominal and bank accounts.
Step 3: Reconcile a trial period
The workflows run against a few days of real trading, and the totals are checked against Eskimo reports and the bank statement before going live.
Step 4: Run after trading
Once signed off, exports run on a schedule, typically after the shop closes, so the next morning's accounts already include yesterday's takings.
Integrations
What can you connect to Eskimo?
Eskimo and Sage 50 UK
Eskimo sales, customers and invoice payments post into Sage 50, with the tender type deciding which bank account each payment lands in and no totals typed in from a till report.
Eskimo and Xero
Create Xero invoices from Eskimo sales and record payments against them, so the Xero bank feed can be matched to takings without a manual journal.
Eskimo and QuickBooks
Eskimo sales arrive in QuickBooks as sales receipts and account payments as customer payments, keeping takings and debtors current for retailers on QuickBooks Online.
Eskimo and Sage 200
Retailers on Sage 200 can post Eskimo sales as transactions and create customer accounts from Eskimo, keeping shop takings in the same ledger as the rest of the business.
Eskimo and Sage Business Cloud Accounting
Send Eskimo sales to Sage Accounting as sales invoices and account payments as contact payments, a straightforward setup for a single shop that wants takings in the books each morning.
