RockSolid MAX
Watch our 2 minute video
RockSolid MAX® software is cloud-based, so the initial investment is lower, hardware requirements are reduced, and backups are automatic. Place orders, search inventory, or review sales when you aren’t at the store. Retailers with outdated or manual systems can upgrade technology and automate the busywork—without breaking the bank!
All transactions are automatically linked, including handwritten or faxed records, so you have access to everything you need electronically.
Quickly access your customers’ quotes, orders, POs, receiving documents, and sales invoices in one centralized, easy-to-use system. Save time and money by emailing customers their statements and invoices.
Ready to save time and improve communication?
In RockSolid MAX, you can process payments through Point of Sale or Accounts Receivable. Billing cycles close automatically (based on your schedule), and you can print/fax/email statements and invoices at any time.
A/R Status shows current and last statement or listings of charges and credits. Easily review activity for any period, by job or for all jobs, so you can understand what is at risk of being late.
Stocking the wrong items or too much inventory ties up cash that can be invested in other areas.
RockSolid MAX offers many purchasing options including automated ordering and the ability to order stock based on past POs. Special orders are easy and vendor catalogs are integrated into the system so you know you’re ordering the right items.
Consolidated purchasing allows multi-location customers to assess the needs of the entire enterprise, improving efficiency and maximizing volume discounts.
RockSolid MAX is designed to get customers through the check-out process quickly, creating a positive experience that promotes repeat business.
Your cashiers can quickly scan items, enter SKUs, or look them up in the system. Return processing is painless, customer lookup is easy, and transactions can be sent by email or fax—providing flexibility and saving paper.
You can even import data from external software like window manufacturers or design tools, eliminating the need to rekey these items into POS or purchasing—which saves time and prevents mistakes.

Having access to important information about your business is key to making good decisions. Permission-based reports allow you to decide which employees in your organization have report access, and data can easily be exported for further review.
Reports are also hyperlinked to key documents so you can see the details. Since the software doesn’t consolidate data, you can get everything you need without purchasing expensive add-on modules.
RockSolid MAX includes a predefined series of charts and queries so you can select those that are most useful for your business, customize them, and save to your analytics panel for easy access.
Quickly retrieve the data you need to make fast, appropriate business decisions and stay informed on day-to-day operations. No need to wait on reports! Optional Alerts can be configured to proactively notify you of events that could impact your business.
RockSolid MAX helps you manage your business on the go, whether at the store or a remote location.
RockSolid MAX AnyWare™ is a mobile application for your employees, and ProLink™ is a mobile app for your customers. Both apps improve efficiency and communication within your business and help position you as a customer-focused organization.
Tired of being chained to your desk?
Special orders are efficiently processed in RockSolid MAX, with items pulled in from a vendor catalog or created via a system-generated temporary SKU number. Users can also create purchase orders at the same time that they are creating a customer order.
With RockSolid MAX, you can create quotes for customers that are easily converted to orders including partial release on orders. You can even order a subset of items from a quote and keep the original one open. This capability improves efficiency in your business and frees up time to work on other more productive things.
Every business has items that are sold in multiple units of measure (UOM), which can be a headache. RockSolid MAX automatically adjusts pricing and margins for items sold with different units of measure.
The software allows for multiple UOMs per item so that you can have different price points for each UOM. It also allows you to order quantity in one UOM and have the cost reflect a different UOM.
If your store sells lumber, you know how important it is for your software to offer Board Foot Conversion. With RockSolid MAX, it is done automatically, allowing you to sell per piece or per thousand and ensuring you have the proper sales price and cost of goods calculations.
Smaller, independent organizations have a fraction of the marketing budget of their big box competitors, so customer satisfaction and loyalty have an even greater impact.
RockSolid MAX has many ways to help you retain customers and capture a greater share of wallet, without busting your marketing budget. Features include the ability to create your own promotional signage, offer customers flexible installment payments, and create your own loyalty program.

MAKE ORDERING EASY
Before we switched to RockSolid MAX, I would have to visually count what we had on hand to see what we needed or rely on my gut feel for what I thought we had in stock; that set us up for lots of errors. It would take hours to put together an order—I’d have to count what we had, figure out what we needed, look up the pricing, and then call it all in. RockSolid MAX has improved our ordering because it:
It’s given us a much better idea of what’s selling and what’s just gathering dust on the shelves. Our buying and overall purchasing processes are so much more efficient and profitable with RockSolid MAX!

Now I can spend my time growing the business instead of stuffing envelopes. Plus, I save a ton on paper and postage!
Read the RockSolidMAX POS software story
Originally developed in 2001, RockSolid® software was created by a group of hardware retailers who needed a solution that fit their unique industry. Over time, RockSolid became a trusted, affordable point-of-sale software for independent retailers. In 2007, ECI Software Solutions, a leader in industry specific software solutions, acquired RockSolid and took the software to the next level. Today, RockSolid is recognized as a leader in the LBM and Retail Hardlines industry and is trusted by roughly 2,000 hardware stores, convenience lumberyards, and building materials dealers.
The RockSolid MAX POS system is the next chapter in the story. RockSolid MAX enables small retailers to leverage advanced point-of-sale and business management software in a more cost-effective manner. Because it is cloud based, the initial investment is much lower, hardware costs are greatly reduced, and daily backups are no longer needed.
