Specialty Suppliers
Optimize your specialty supply business with industry specific software to win against big box retailers
Specialty supply businesses have many moving parts. From managing inventory and providing great customer service to maintaining competitive pricing and adapting to changing customer demands. Those who have a strong handle on it all will rise above the competition.
RockSolid MAX can support various types of specialty suppliers
Go paperless and boost productivity
Too many specialty suppliers still rely on spreadsheets or generic accounting systems to run their businesses, wasting time and risking costly errors. With the right mobile technology, you can move away from overstuffed filing cabinets and access important information, at any time and anywhere, online.
Reduce your costs and improve your margins
Cloud solutions are becoming a standard for specialty suppliers like you, eliminating necessary costs like on-premise hardware and associated maintenance work. In an industry where seasonality can have a big impact, the ability to scale IT resources alongside the businesses helps to manage costs.
Elevate your workforce
Skills shortages continue to affect the industry, but a strong specialty supply POS system can be your hardest-working employee. It will automate processes, centralize information, and give you visibility into your entire business. Plus, modern tech can attract a new generation of workers.

Can software provide mobile access or remote management capabilities for overseeing the store's operations from outside the physical location?
True cloud-based software platforms allow you to access your system from anywhere in the world. Whether you need to build a quote in the field, check inventory levels from a buying show, or just want to monitor daily sales on the fly; RockSolid MAX is available anywhere you are connected to the internet.
Can the system handle multi-location inventory management and sales data across different branches?
Most generic accounting or POS systems will not allow this. But industry-specific software will handle multiple locations, offering consolidated A/R, Purchasing, and Reporting to manage scaling businesses with ease.
What kind of technical support and assistance is available for troubleshooting after the system is installed?
This is important to ask about when looking a software. Once you become a customer, you should gain access to a customer support center or portal that provides a wealth of resources, content, and information to help you learn more about your software, troubleshoot issues, and manage support tickets.
How does the software assist in managing seasonal fluctuations in sales and inventory typical of specialty supply?
This is special to industry-specific software and isn’t always available in generic store POS. Robust purchasing features within RockSolid MAX allow multiple options to assist in building seasonal purchase orders; from a simple replenishment report to a dynamic suggested order report based on seasonal trends and sales history.
