You can now easily upload item pictures directly into Point of Sale. Use them on your web site, or to jog your memory when ordering. Pictures can also help catch price tag switching to prevent loss.

See inventory items on-hand for any date you choose

Simplify your monthly, quarterly, and yearly closing procedures. You can easily view quantity on-hand and inventory valuation for any historical date you choose.

Zip through physical inventory by scanning barcodes

Scan barcodes in batches with the optional Physical Inventory Scanner. This handheld, battery–operated scanner goes wherever you keep your merchandise — even off–site. Bring it back to its cradle, and it updates your Point of Sale inventory records instantly. For items without barcodes you can print your own barcode labels right from the software.

Track inventory details with five customizable fields

Track important information about each inventory item right where you need it in 5 customizable inventory fields. Assign labels to each field, such as minimum order quantity, material, or any other information that can save you a phone call or a trip to the file cabinet.

Create and e–mail purchase orders automatically

Email purchase orders as PDF (viewable with Adobe Reader) files directly from Point of Sale — no printing, faxing, mailing or waiting! Set minimum inventory levels for each item. When inventory reaches that level, Point of Sale automatically suggests creating a purchase order. And you can generate purchase orders with one click.

Track multiple units of measure

Point of Sale tracks the price per quantity of items you buy and sell, even if you buy and sell in different units of measure. For example, if you buy dog food in 50–pound bags from your vendor, but sell it to customers in 5–pound bags, Point of Sale will present the right price/quantity at the right time, while keeping your records accurate and up to date.

Track layaways and sales orders

Let customers pay for big–ticket items over time, and track their incremental payments. Create sales orders to track orders that aren't yet paid for, such as backorders or special orders, without impacting your books.

Track inventory assemblies, kits, and items sold as groups

Click to enlarge

Combine inventory items together and track the group as its own inventory item. It's perfect for tracking kits you assemble for sale, such as gift baskets. You can also track items sold as a group. For instance, you can bundle tennis shorts and tops and a special price, and track the shorts, the tops, and the bundle separately.
