Branding

Summary Information
Menu Path: System — Branding
Required Feature(s): System

Navigation: System → Branding

The Branding module allows administrators to customize the visual identity and messaging displayed throughout the POS application. Configure logos, organization name, and welcome text to create a cohesive brand experience across the Register and RMS user interfaces, as well as on printed reports and receipts.

Purpose of Branding

Branding is used to:

  • Establish organizational identity through custom logos and company name
  • Create a consistent visual experience across all POS touchpoints
  • Customize welcome and login screen messaging
  • Maintain brand consistency on printed reports and receipts
  • Replace default Kensium Point-of-Sale branding with organization-specific branding

Configuring Branding

To configure branding settings:

  1. Navigate to System → Branding.
  2. Enter or update the branding information in the available fields.
  3. Click Save to apply the changes, or Cancel to discard them.

Available Fields

Field Description Field Behavior
Organization Name The name of your organization displayed throughout the application. Optional. If left blank, the default "Kensium Point-of-Sale" name is used. Displayed on login screens, welcome screens, and throughout the RMS and Register interfaces.
Main Logo URL The URL path to your organization's logo image displayed on Register and RMS screens. Optional. If left blank, the default Kensium Point-of-Sale logo is used. Should point to an image file accessible to the application (for example, PNG or JPG format).
Report Logo URL The URL path to your organization's logo displayed on printed output such as receipts, quotes, invoices, and other report-style documents. Optional. If left blank, the default Kensium Point-of-Sale logo is used. Can be different from the Main Logo URL to accommodate different aspect ratios or print requirements.
Custom Welcome Text Custom message displayed on welcome and login screens. Optional. If left blank, the default welcome text is used. Supports multi-line text for detailed messaging or instructions.

Logo URL Guidelines

When configuring logo URLs, ensure the following:

  • Absolute URLs: Use complete URLs (for example, https://example.com/assets/logo.png) or relative paths accessible from the application root
  • Supported Formats: Use standard image formats such as PNG, JPG, or SVG
  • Logo Dimensions:
  • Main Logo: Recommended dimensions are 200×200 pixels for optimal display on screens
  • Report Logo: Dimensions can vary based on print requirements; test before deploying
  • File Accessibility: Ensure the image files are accessible and do not require authentication to retrieve
  • File Size: Use optimized images to minimize load times and bandwidth usage

Display Locations

The configured branding elements appear in the following locations:

Organization Name

  • Login screens
  • Welcome screens
  • RMS application header
  • Register application header
  • System configuration pages
  • Login screens (top or side placement)
  • Welcome screens
  • RMS dashboard or header
  • Register application header
  • Throughout the UI where branding is relevant
  • Printed receipts (header or footer)
  • Printed quotes and invoices
  • Printed reports
  • Any exported or printed documents

Custom Welcome Text

  • Login screen (below or alongside login fields)
  • Welcome screen (primary message area)
  • Splash screen on Register startup

Operational Considerations

  • Singleton Configuration: Branding settings follow a singleton pattern -there is only a single branding configuration per POS deployment
  • Organization-Wide Impact: Changes to branding settings affect all Registers and RMS interfaces across the entire deployment
  • Default Fallback: If any field is left blank, the default Kensium Point-of-Sale branding is used as a fallback
  • No Downtime Required: Branding changes can be applied immediately without restarting registers or the application
  • URL Validation: Test that logo URLs are accessible from all systems (Registers, RMS, servers) that need to display the logos
  • Print Testing: After configuring the Report Logo, print a test receipt to verify the logo appears correctly on physical output

Best Practices

  • Maintain Brand Consistency: Use consistent logos and messaging across all branding fields and throughout your organization
  • Use High-Quality Images: Select clear, high-resolution logo images to ensure professional appearance both on-screen and in print
  • Test Logo Display: Verify logo display on multiple devices and screen sizes (Register terminals, desktop monitors, mobile devices)
  • Plan URL Management: Store logo images in a stable, accessible location to avoid broken links if images are relocated
  • Document Customization: Keep a record of branding settings used for future reference and consistency during updates
  • Welcome Text Length: Keep custom welcome text concise for login screens; longer text works better on dedicated welcome screens

Example

Field Value
Organization Name Acme Retail Company
Main Logo URL https://cdn.example.com/logos/acme-main.png
Report Logo URL https://cdn.example.com/logos/acme-report.png
Custom Welcome Text Welcome to Acme Retail. Please log in with your credentials.

In this example, the Acme Retail branding is configured with custom logos and welcome text, replacing all default Kensium Point-of-Sale branding throughout the system.
