POS Systems for Tobacco shops

Step into the 21st century with a Substruct Point of Sale system. Put the "cigar box" days of your business behind you and start maximizing profits and efficiency with a fully integrated computer system. Whether you sell tobacco products exclusively or you have a full sized convenience store with beer, wine, and liquor, Substruct can meet all of your technology needs.

Cougar Mountain Point of Sale with Back Office® and Substruct Utilities® 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 cashiers. Substruct Utilities raises the bar with robust inventory management features such as Computer Assisted Ordering, Vendor-Integrated Receiving, reports tailored for the retail industry, and high-tech mobile applications for managing your business on the sales floor or from the comfort of your own home.

Features tailored for the tobacco and alcohol industries

Cougar Mountain Point of Sale includes the features your retail store needs. Ring up customers and monitor cash flow with Point of Sale, and track your stock levels, retails, costs and other stock information with Inventory. Cougar Mountain POS can even integrate your back office accounting. Add Specialty Shop and gain the following features:

  • Age Verification
    This feature allows you to flag items requiring age verification at the time of sale. Age verification can either prompt the user for the customer's birth date (and stop the transaction if the date isn't within legal range), or display a "must be born on or before" date on the sales entry screen for ID comparison.
  • Buydown/Coupon Codes
    This feature allows you to attach a buy down/coupon code (automatic discount to be taken at the time of the sale) to specific items. The codes can also be set up with date ranges during which the buy down/coupon code will be in effect. After the sale, you can run a report listing discounted items, amounts of the discounts, and dates the discounts were taken. This feature is useful for tracking Buydowns and ensuring that your vendors are reimbursing you correctly.
  • Buy One, Get One Promotional Pricing
    Set up a promotion where the customer can buy a specified number of items and receive a number of either the same item or a different item at a discounted price. (Buy two/get one free)

A POS System you can afford

While every system is a tailored to fit the needs of its business, here are some sample tobacco, smoke shop, and convenience store systems to give you a ball park idea of what your system from Substruct could cost:

Track your employees and your profits

One of the most common reasons for shrinking margins is employee theft. Stealing cash from the drawer, giving unauthorized discounts, and not paying for merchandise are all common problems. Cougar Mountain has the user security features you need to put an end to this kind of activity.

  • Assign user rights for sale amounts, returns, voids, discounts, refunds, and access to all parts of the software
  • Track unauthorized and suspect transactions
  • Advanced reports for monitoring employees, cash flow, and inventory
  • Shrinkage report helps you keep an eye on items that are "disappearing"
