How does point of sale software like RockSolid MAX improve inventory management?
RockSolid MAX allows users to sell products to customers directly from within the same software that tracks their store inventory. This removes the need for paper-based inventory processes, or endless downloading/uploading sales and inventory numbers between disparate systems.Since our RockSolid MAX POS solution is industry-specific, it provides many inventory dimensions that would be difficult to create manually in a generic POS system.
Can RockSolid MAX POS software integrate with other hardware store business systems?
Yes. As a premium hardware inventory management software, RockSolid MAX offers integration options for ecommerce, payment processing, advanced analytics, and many other third-party products and APIs. In addition, we integrate with over 20 vendor EDI as well as a variety of import options for secondary vendors.
What features should I look for in a point of sale software?
In the past, hardware and home supply stores “retrofitted” generic point of sale software to simply ring up customer sales. Today, most businesses expect the benefits of an industry-specific solution that is much more powerful and provides capabilities unique to their challenges.We strongly encourage new adopters of point-of-sale software to look for a highly integrated solution that automatically updates and manages inventory each time a sale is made.Other important areas of integration include built-in modules for ecommerce, easy and low-fee payment processing, and advanced business health analytic data that is simple to understand.
Can RockSolid MAX POS software handle multiple store locations?
Yes. Many of our RockSolid MAX customers are multi-location businesses. The solution offers the perfect balance of integration and store-by-store customization. This allows you to tailor each location to the specific local customers’ experience while managing your full business from a single software system.
How does RockSolid MAX point of sale software support purchase order management?
RockSolid MAX allows you to seamlessly transmit orders to your main vendors. When you place a PO, you can take advantage of the Suggested Ordering functionality so you have the right amounts of the right items—at all times. When you receive your products, inventory counts are updated in real time, so they are automatically ready to sell.
Is RockSolid MAX a subscription-based service?
