Save Time

CounterPoint helps retailers be more successful by saving time and improving operational efficiency.  Almost any retail management system can save time over operating a retail store with a cash register.  CounterPoint can actually save you time over other retail management systems.  Here's how:

• Item, customer, and vendor lookups work off of a few characters in any part of the description or name, and search other fields such as phone number, category, contacts, additional descriptions, etc.  Enter mulitiple sets of characters for advanced search features.  This saves time when ringing sales, ordering goods, receiving goods, etc.
  
  
• Item Zooms let you look at current inventory and sales history from almost any screen.  This is a great tool when creating purchase orders!
  
  
• Use Table View for more efficient file maintenance.  Instead of changing items screen by screen, you can use a spreadsheet-like table.
  
  
• Use handheld scanners for receivings and transfers, as well as for physical inventory.  Better yet, you can use a wireless scanner for all of these functions, as well as for item lookup.
  
  
• CounterPoint expedites the purchasing process in several ways.  For one thing, you can create recommended purchase orders (that you can then modify) based on minimums and maximums, seasonal forecasts, replenishment, or for an upcoming period based on sales.  You can also combine these features during the purchasing process to create a screen where you can just check off the items you want to order and enter or adjust quantities as you go.
  
  
• Establish promotions with start and stop dates - and then forget about them.  Resurrect them later, if you like, by just changing the date range.
  
  
• Use Smart Alerts to notify you of problems or significant events in your stores so that you don't have to worry so much about trying to be everywhere at once.  Think of the gas you'll save, too!
  
  
• Use the Dashboard for a quick look at sales for the day in each of your stores.  This is much easier than running a report!
  
  
• Use Customer Connect for email marketing.  It is fully integrated with CounterPoint, which offers several advantages.  You won't have to export data to another system.  You can configure automatic welcome and reminder emails.  It also offers closed-loop reporting and compares campaign responses to overall sales for you, saving you the time required to run another report.
  
  
• Eliminate duplicate maintenance and complicated imports and exports by using CPOnline for ecommerce.  It is integrated with CounterPoint so you only have to maintain information in one place and you can upload and download information with the touch of a button.

Saving time is just one of the ways that CounterPoint can help you to be more successful.  It is a complete point of sale and retail management system that can help you serve your customers more efficiently and manage your inventory.  Your new CounterPoint system can even help you increase sales!
