POS Systems for Hardware Stores
One of the biggest problems facing hardware retailers today is inventory management. "How many of these do I have?" and "I just ordered this! Why am I out of stock again?" are all too common questions. Unfortunately, this is not an easy problem to solve. Store owners spend thousands of dollars for software that costs too much and doesn't even do what they need it to do. Ace Hardware® claims Eagle for Windows™ is the answer, but the reality is most businesses can't even afford the initial hardware and software, let alone the pricey monthly maintenance charges.
Substruct Utilities® for Hardware Stores and Cougar Mountain Point of Sale with Back Office® combine to create the Point of Sale, inventory management, and accounting software system you've been waiting for. Cougar Mountain's Point of Sale and Accounting modules are agile enough for the most demanding business managers, powerful enough for accountants, and easy enough for fast-paced clerks. Substruct Utilities raises the bar with robust inventory management features such as Computer Assisted Ordering, Vendor-Integrated Receiving, and reports tailored for the home improvement industry.
A POS System you can afford
While every system is a tailored to fit the needs of its business, here are some sample systems to give you a ball park idea of what your system from Substruct will cost:
Designed for hardware stores, by hardware stores Unlike other software companies, Substruct Systems worked directly with a chain of hardware stores in Columbus, Ohio, to develop inventory management software the best way possible. If a feature didn't exist, we added it. If a module didn't work the best way possible, we changed it. If a bug was found, we fixed it. Every feature of Substruct Utilities was designed for and tested by actual hardware store employees. Experts in hardware store Technology Our software was designed in conjunction with hardware store managers, but the real icing on the cake is that most of our employees come from a hardware store tech support background. We are well educated in the way you do business. No Monthly maintenance fees Say “good bye” to monthly maintenance charges! Substruct Systems is devoted to ensuring your computer system runs smoothly, but why should you pay for our help if you don't need it?
