Special orders that don't get lost.
A special order lives on a note by the phone until someone loses it. AxleTap keeps the order, the deposit and the customer's email on the same record, from the day it is ordered to the day it leaves.

1The order is tied to the customer, not to whoever took it.
2The deposit is held against the order and applied at pickup.
3Receiving it sends the email, so nobody has to remember to.
What the counter sees next time.
When Rivera Plumbing comes in for something else three days later, the register already knows there is an order waiting for them and says so before the ticket is finished.
The deposit comes off the total when they pick the order up, so the person at the counter is not working out what was already paid, and the books show the deposit as money held rather than as a sale.
Also at a plumbing counter
Branch transfers
Ship stock from one branch to another and see it in transit until it's received.
Contractor pricing
Contract prices for your regular plumbers, on an item, a department or a vendor's line.
Repair-part lookups
Manufacturer and cross-reference numbers find the repair part, and superseded numbers lead to the replacement.
Deliveries
Route deliveries to remodels and new builds, with proof of delivery on every drop.
Stock that is somewhere between two branches.
A transfer leaves one branch and belongs to neither until the other receives it.
Both branches see it as in transit, so it is never counted twice or sold twice.
Each branch keeps its own min and max, so a transfer doesn't make the wrong branch look full.
Questions from plumbing supply houses
Can we take a deposit on a special order?
Yes. The deposit is taken at the counter, held against that order, and applied when the customer picks it up.
Does the customer get told when a special order arrives?
Yes. Receiving the order sends a ready-for-pickup email, and the register flags the waiting order next time that customer is on a ticket.
Can I move stock between branches and still trust the counts?
Yes. Stock in transit belongs to neither branch until the receiving branch checks it in, so it is never counted at both ends.
Can plumbers have their own contract prices?
Yes. Contract prices can sit on an item, a department or a whole vendor's line, and they apply at the counter without anyone looking them up.
