Pointeq's Windward System Five (WWS5) is a fully integrated point of sale software package that helps run your furniture store instead of just reporting on it.
Pointeq's WWS5 is the best choice for managing your furniture store. There are many unique problems encountered by these businesses that other “off the shelf” accounting packages cannot handle. For example, Special Orders (or Tag Orders) are very common in the furniture industry and are especially easy to use with Pointeq's WWS5.
Many furniture stores custom order inventory for their clients. Pointeq's WWS5 will allow you to start an invoice at the point of sale, sell the inventory item and receive a deposit. The system will remind you to call the supplier to order it. When it arrives, the system will remind you to set the inventory item aside for the customer, ensuring that you or your staff does not accidentally sell the item to another customer.
Sales History When a customer makes a warranty claim, the original invoice can be easily found in the system. Sales are fully stored in the system for as many years as is required. You can find the original invoice by customer name, invoice number, inventory item number or serial number. Once the invoice is found, it can be reprinted if required. Furniture stores with a manual accounting system now either have to search through multiple records to find the sales invoice, or have an extensive manual tracking system that is time consuming and expensive to maintain.
Add Serial Numbers Later With Pointeq's WWS5, you can sell an item without the serial number and take the customer's deposit. When the warehouse ships the product to the customer, the serial number that is easiest to get to is selected and entered into the computer. Pointeq's WWS5 has several checks and balances to ensure you don't forget to enter the serial numbers. This gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to sell product and take deposits while still allowing for strong inventory control.
Buying Group Support It's popular for furniture stores to belong to a buying group to get better pricing and terms on the inventory. When a large group negotiates a price instead of each individual store, the manufacturers pay attention. When looking at the store history, you will see a list of all the purchases and the balance owing shows as zero as the costs are allocated to the group.
Price Labels Pointeq's WWS5 can print your inventory labels. These can be simple sticky labels, to cardboard tags, to small display signs. The label designer gives you complete control over what details are to be included and what the end result will look like and what details you want to include.
Delivery Schedules See other deliveries scheduled at a click of a mouse. You can print maps for your delivery drivers from our simple web interface.
Warning Comments and Up Selling Features These comments can be entered for inventory items requiring special treatment by the salesperson. For example, if a TV stand was being sold the comment could remind the salesperson to ask the customer if they had seen the matching wall unit. The comments can be structured in a way to help junior sales people sell additional inventory.
