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—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.
