One system, counter to books.

Ring up sales, keep stock right across every store, run charge accounts and keep the books in one system, with QuickBooks there if you want it.

Counter and register

For the customer who knows the part number and wants it on their account.

Finding the partPart number, UPC, manufacturer number or cross-reference all find the item, and a superseded number leads to the part that replaced it.

PricingPrice levels, contract pricing and promotions apply on their own. An override needs a manager's approval.

Tax and feesState and county sales tax for any US state on every taxable line. Core charges and fees come from the item.

CardsTap, insert or swipe on the terminal at each register. AxleTap keeps a token, never the card number.

The rest of the registerQuotes that turn into sales, held tickets, voids, returns, and a Z-report at close.
