Paint and Hardware Stores
Our Point of Sale software has specific features for Paint/Hardware retailers such as paint formula tracking, contract pricing, special orders and multi-vendor support. These unique pricing and multi-vendor features are used throughout the software in purchasing, receiving, point of sale, inventory control, and reporting. The software was built to work the way Paint/Hardware retailers do.
Paint/Hardware Industry Features:
• Preloaded vendor databases - Do you want to avoid the time and hassle and entering standard inventory products into your system? We’ve got a solution! Out data bridge tool provides an easy way to import vendor and product information easily into our software. You can also place purchase orders electronically with your vendors to help reduce your labor expenses.
• Multi-Vendor support – Our retail software makes it easy to find out who has the best prices on your products and then alert you to that source when you are creating purchase orders. This helps you reduce your buying costs, especially for sundries such as brushes, supplies, and wall paper.
• Special Orders – An entire special order module is built into the software to help you better service your customers. Special orders can be created at the point of sale and then those items appear on the buyer’s screen. As special order items are received from the vendor, the system will alert the receiver and can also notify the customer their items are available.
• Formula Tracking – paint formulas can be stored and retrieved easily by company, customer, etc.
• Contract Pricing – Special discount prices can be programmed to automatically apply to items, customers, jobs and a variety of other criteria.
• Hold Tickets – Allow you to create and store estimates and put working tickets on hold for later retrieval.
