Point of Sale, Stock Control, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Purchase Orders Cash Control, General Ledger, Tax Reporting, Sales Clerk/Stock Performance Business Management Reporting, Customer Relationship Management and Loyalty/Rewards/Promotions into one package. And more!
Store Tinting Information Easily
Customers tinting information is stored directly into their customer record. When your customer comes back to purchase more, the information is just a few clicks away. The last sold feature displays this quickly and easily.
Barcode Support!
Our POS software supports bar code readers for faster checkout and inventory control. But we also support printing of barcode labels and designing your own barcode numbers if your inventory items are not already barcoded. And you can count your inventory using our wireless barcode scanner software, either in real time or batched using a barcode inventory data collector.
Real Inventory and 'Virtual Warehouse' Databases
Why clog your main database with items that you might sell. Using our auxiliary database allows you to keep items you may sell out of your main database. When a customer wants you to order it, a few button clicks adds it directly to your main database.
Cost Markup Tables
Some small cost items might have a larger margin than items with a higher cost. Using Windward you can use our price adjustment routine and build a markup table to assign markups based on the cost of an item. Items less than 1.00 markup 300%. Items between 1.01 and 2.00 markup 250%, etc.
Parts and Service
Work Orders are used for work in progress. This can include repairs, but can also include sales where extra work is required before the item is delivered to the customer. The inventory is marked as allocated so that it cannot be sold to someone else, but the invoice is not posted to the general ledger until the actual sale is complete.
Contractor Sales
Support for selling large quantities to one customer, such as sales for an apartment building or hotel chains.
Contract Pricing
Negotiating a special price with a contractor is the reality of large orders. Tracking this manually can be labour intense, consuming any value received from the initial negotiations. With Windward, entering the item, the contractor and the price means the contractor gets that pricing automatically. Having the price expire at the negotiated date happens automatically.
Upselling Accompanying Accessories
When selling paint, do your sales and service reps know - or remember - to offer the accompanying accessories? Using tag along parts and upsell warning comments can allow your staff to remember to sell accompanying inventory, and increase profits on each transaction!
Document Management by Inventory Item
Installation instructions are often required by your customer and contractors. Using our documents button on an inventory item allows you to associate images, instructions and other resources to be available for printing at the click of a button.
Windward System Five is the perfect point of sale software / inventory control solution to improve the efficiency and profitability of your Paint Store.
