Furniture Store POS Inventory Software

Commission & Sales Promotion Incentive Fund (SPIF)

Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii Furniture Store POS software precisely calculates incentive payments (SPIF's) and manages other compensation plans for sales teams.

When you create an invoice, the salesperson is attached to it for commission or history purposes. Normally, just one salesperson is attached to each invoice, but if required, a switch can be turned on in Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii Furniture Store POS software to allow Split Commissions for multiple sales people. In Industrial Sales, the sales person often "Owns" the customer and gets the commission regardless of which clerk processed the order. If this is the case for your business, then you can attach the salesperson to the customer instead. Both methods are supported in Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii Furniture Store POS software.

Modifiers

Need to specify item-specific options? Use the Modifiers option builtin within Akamai Pont of Sale Furniture Store software

Modifiers are used to configure an inventory item so when you sell it you can specify item-specific options (for example, a 2-seat or 3-seat couch, it's color, type of wood trim, etc).

You can have additional costs associated with specific options and specific options can have their own part number. You can link inventory items that have the same modifier options so if you need to change an option you do so once and it applies to all linked items.

There are two types of modifier options within our Furniture Store software:

Integrated Selection - these items are contained within the item on the invoice. The descriptions show as comments and the cost and retail prices are included in the line Price and Retail Price.

Non Integrated Selection - these items show as separate items on the invoice along with any associated charges. There must be actual parts created for these items.

Delivery Scheduler

At any point during the sale, you can set the delivery date for your customer. Once you set the delivery date, an appointment is created in the delivery scheduler. Each delivery that is scheduled can be assigned to a specific employee, and will remind them of the delivery date and time.

Special Orders

The Special Orders feature in Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii Furniture Store POS software provides a method of ordering stock for a specific customer. It can be used to bring in items not normally kept in stock or to order items in specific sizes, colors or styles.

By placing the item on special order, the system will ensure that you do not forget to order it. And when you do order it, you simply just "drag" it onto the purchase order without needing to retype anything.

When the item arrives and you are adding it to stock, the Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii Furniture Store POS Software will remind you of the special orders to ensure you set them aside and not sell them to other customers in error. In addition, you can print shipping labels during the add stock procedure and attach it to the box right away, before you forget.

Payments

When payments are received, you can specify how much was paid against each invoice. This allows for better control of the system and easier reconciliation with your customers. Of course, Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii offers several shortcut keys to simply pay all the invoices in one fell swoop or to pay invoices up to a given amount.

Work in any month or year

You can enter invoices into any month in the current year or previous year, and reprint most reports for any given period. This allows you to continue invoicing first thing in the morning of a new month, even if the back office is not finished charging interest, adjusting accounts and printing statements. Many other systems require that you completely finish a month before being able to start a new month or year.

Customer Credit Control

On the customer account, you can specify the credit limit for the customer, in addition to the price schedule to use, charge type, and comments. If you try to create an invoice that will put the customer over their credit limit, the system will warn you. If you do not have the security clearance to override, the invoice can not be completed until the account is paid.

Collections

Collections on outstanding debts are never fun, but Akamai Point of Sale Hawaii can make them easier. You can print an aged A/R report, complete with customer name, phone number and a list of all the outstanding invoices. Optionally, this report can be configured to only include customers with balances older than a certain number of days, such as over 60 days or 90 days so that you don't have to manually skip over the current customers.

As you call each customer, you can enter your comments into the appointment scheduler and set a date to review their file and ensure they have paid, and if not, to call them back. By keeping track of all you customer contacts, it's easier to control when to call and remind them of their past promises.

Writing Checks

If you are entering information from a previously handwritten check, you can do that without having to print them. Incredibly, many other systems force you to print the checks, regardless. After creating a check, you can choose to post-and-pay it, or simply batch for later payment. This lets you spend some time setting up the checks. Once you are ready, you can load the checks into the printer and then print and post the batch at one time.

Time Payments

In some cases, you may get a large shipment of goods from a supplier and be allowed to pay in thirds, one month at a time. Windward System Five will allow you to enter·a time payment plan, with distributed payments. This information is used with the cash requirement report to determine which bills have to be paid.

If you deal with buying groups, then you'll buy the inventory and goods from a supplier but pay the buying group. This is because to get great discounts, the buying groups often pay the bills very quickly or at least guarantee payment.

When you use buying groups, you'll be able to report on all the purchases from a given supplier, even if you don't owe them any money, and be able to look at the buying group from a financial point of view to see what you owe.

You can even use this technology if you purchase goods with your credit card. There, you buy from a supplier but pay Visa, Mastercard or American Express.
