POS•IM Premier - Best POS Windows Version

Invoicing

The gift that keeps on giving.

You've got to have them, but why pay someone to track them for you? POS•IM Premier, the POS for Windows, will do it all… you just need the cards (and we can even help with that). More Info.

To sale or not to sale.

So many discount methods… it may be hard to choose. Discount entire invoices, individual items, by customer, or however you want.

Be head of your class.

Event Manager* allows you to track classes or events and the people attending the event. You can also track material lists and take deposits. Holding a class will be easy!

Customers

Hi, my name is CUSTOMER.

Customer info is easy to track and easy to find. Add a customer to an invoice by name, phone number, or membership ID.

Your most important asset.

Tracking your customers with our POS Windows software will provide you with a wealth of information. Who buys? Who buys what? Who is a member? Who gets a discount?

Toss away your punch cards.

Track points for purchases. You will be notified during checkout when someone has reached their reward.

And the best customer is…

Reports can show you who is buying and how much they are spending.

Go postal and keep in touch.

Use your best (or worst) customer list to create email lists, mailing lists or labels. Lists can be based on geography or past purchases.

Accounts Receivable

Keep track of your tabs

Track account balances using either the balance forward or open invoice method.

But don't do it for free

Setup terms and charge interest. You can also send statements.

Items

Vendors

Play Favorites

Track multiple vendors per item. Reports help ensure you are getting the best return from each vendor.

Get the facts.

Track vendor information for your items. How long does it take to get it? What is the cost? Who has the best price?

Don't take their word for it.

Reports can show you what your margins are. Use them to negotiate a better price.

Purchasing

Just do it for me.

Not a problem. Use the auto order Wizard to have purchase orders created based on your max and min points.

Commitment issues?

Commit items to stock levels before finalizing orders. This allows you to wait for an invoice while inventory is on the floor.

Can you remind me when…

Receive notifications during the receiving process if items are reserved for someone (such as back order or special order).

Box 1 of 4.

Create multiple receiving logs per order. Get product on the shelf without having to wait for additional shipments.

Need a budget?

Track your department budgets with Open to Buy. See what you should spend based on what you want to make.
