RockSolid MAX Point of Sale
for Home and Building Suppliers

Satisfy Customers and Improve Productivity

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 while saving time and preventing mistakes.

Improve Cash Flow and Customer Satisfaction

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.

Simplify Purchasing with Vendor Integration

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.

Generate All Reports from Within the System

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 access, without specialized software or training required.

Many 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.

Data Protection and Cost Savings

ECI solutions are cloud-based which means there are no upfront fees and no expensive servers to buy and maintain.

Your data is also backed up automatically and hosted offsite for quick retrieval in the event of a natural disaster, fire, or theft. Data is encrypted and backed by firewalls for maximum security, so only you can access it.

Plus, your business information is available 24/7/365, from anywhere! If you are at a show and want to make a volume purchase, you can access your system, look at sales history, and handle the order on the spot.

EDI Increases Productivity and Reduces Errors

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a direct electronic exchange of information between your business and vendor partners. ECI Software solution offers EDI that allows you to securely and reliably place orders electronically with many industry wholesalers and co-ops, increasing productivity and reducing costly errors. In many cases, you can also receive remittance advice, invoices, price updates, catalog updates, item images and more.

Sell Per Piece or Per Thousand

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.

Seamlessly Order, Track, and Invoice Special Items

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.

Eliminate Duplicate Efforts on Orders

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.

Easily Manage Multiple Units of Measure

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.

Improve Productivity and Communication

RockSolid MAX helps you manage your business on the go, whether at the store or a remote location.

RockSolid MAX AnyWare^™ mobile app is for your employees, and ProLink^™ is an e-tailing solution that differentiates your business and increases customer loyalty. Both apps improve efficiency and communication within your business and help position you as a customer-focused organization.
