Inventory management is easy with our Point of Sale software

Inventory Management

RB Control Systems will finally give you the inventory control tools needed to make you more profitable.

Print hundreds of inventory reports by category, vendor, department, part number or a combination of select criteria. Early buy orders and mid-season reorders can be done accurately and automatically within minutes with the Product Activity Reports which compare sales with quantity on hand to calculate what is needed to restock.

You can assign an unlimited number of crossover part numbers to inventory items. You can use this feature to record manufacturer's, distributors, or your own identification numbers. You can assign a unique fixed cost to each alternate part number so the correct prices from each of your vendors appear on purchase orders.

View the quantity on hand, quantity committed to sales orders, and the quantity of items in multiple warehouses and bin location numbers. Multiple warehouse tracking features keep track of merchandise between service vehicles, departments, and warehouses.

Assign unlimited barcode or UPC numbers to inventory items. Print barcode labels to your laser printer or barcode printer.

Use a wireless handheld data collector to automatically enter your physical inventory.

Some of the other inventory management features include:

  • Assign categories to inventory items for searches, inventory reports, price lists, and tracking reports
  • Searches are easy by category, vendor, department and with our unique and easy description search and Simply Search
  • Set up related items for suggestion selling prompts at the cash register to help increase sales
  • Set up General Information to inform sales staff of important information pertaining to the inventory item at the time of the sale
  • Distinguish between taxable and non-taxable items
  • Combine inventory items if you have more than one of the same item entered as with a varied part number within the POS system
  • Account for items that are sold individually and by the case — ensuring they are deducted properly from the inventory count
  • Select the percentage mark up, or margin for each item and the retail price is automatically calculated
  • Choose to have the Point of Sale system send an automatic inter-office e-mail to staff when prices are changed
  • Set up multiple price levels for inventory items
  • Seasonal inventory schemes automatically send inventory information to purchase orders reminding you when it is time to order and automatically reduces quantity needed during slower seasons
  • The Wish List™ enables staff to contribute information to inventory purchases. Employees can use the Wish List™ to inform purchaser of low stock, out of stock, special order items, or missing parts
  • When you sell a special order item, create a purchase order from inside the sales order screen and the customer information will transfer automatically to the receiving screen so you know who merchandise belongs to when it arrives
  • Create new purchase orders from scratch or by merging wish lists
  • Receive against the purchase orders to automatically track backorders from all vendors
  • Access combined purchase and receiving orders to make sure you’ve been invoiced correctly. If you were billed incorrectly, the POS system automatically creates a cost discrepancy report

Attach Insta-Text to any item in your inventory that automatically prints on receipts. For example, for certain items like solar and winter pool covers you can attach the message "All returns under warranty are done directly through the manufacturer. Please keep the paperwork inside the box." This clarifies your return policies of individual products in writing directly on the receipt to prevent misunderstandings with your customers.

Use the Event Planner and RB Sign Design to set up discounts for sales or coupons. Establish starting and ending dates for sales and the discounts are automatically applied at the cash register and the amount your customer saved is printed on their receipt.

Mark inventory items for clearance and easily track sales incentives for your employees to move out the dogs. Each item in inventory also has a "game tracker" button allowing you to track sales incentives and games.
