Electrical supply POS that sells wire by the foot.
Sell wire by the foot, quote a contractor's order, price every account right and deliver to the site, from one counter system.
Wire sells by the foot.
Most systems want whole numbers, so wire gets sold as a made-up unit and the reel count drifts within a week. In AxleTap an item can sell in fractional quantities, so the counter rings up what it actually cut.
1The price is per foot, so nobody converts anything in their head.
2On hand drops by exactly the length that was cut, so the count stays true.
3It works the same for anything sold by length or weight, not just wire.

Questions from electrical supply houses
Can a POS sell wire by the foot?
Yes. Items can be set to allow fractional quantities, so wire and cable sell by the foot, and on hand drops by exactly the length that was cut.
Can I quote a job and turn it into a sale later?
Yes. Quote a contractor's order, and when they're ready the quote becomes the sale rather than being typed again.
How is sales tax handled on a delivery to a job site?
Sales tax follows the delivery address, so a job in another county is taxed at that county rate rather than the branch rate.
