Lumber and Building Materials Store business management made simple
Windward Software's Hardware and Lumber Store Software is a simple system to help manage your business from the point of sale terminals to the accounting back office. Running your Lumber and Building Materials Shop has many challenges, and Windward will help you overcome them all with one complete solution.
Windward Software's Lumber and Building Materials software is a fully integrated point of sale and business management software package that helps run your store, instead of merely reporting on it. Improve customer service and reduce costs while providing enhanced services to your employees and customers.
We’ve designed this software with the business owner in mind, giving you total control of your operations, from the lumber counter to the back office. You’ll also have peace of mind knowing that Windward's customer care team is just a phone call away.
Membership Management to drive repeat business
Windward's Hardware and Lumber Store Software offers full compatibility for an integrated membership software program. The Membership Management feature in Windward System Five allows you to easily sell memberships to your customers at the Point of Sale to reward them accordingly. A great way to keep customers coming back!
Support your Builder Business
Windward's Lumber and Building Materials Store Software has a full accounts receivable module which can help you support those relationships with the contractors in your area. This feature is sure to keep your builders building since they can get in and out quickly, and your bookkeeper happy because you're tracking everything along the way.
Sell Faster with Touchscreen
Windward Software offers support for touchscreen-enabled terminals through user-definable panels and floating windows. Touchscreen functionality is commonly used in order to simplify the Quick Cash interface at the point of sale and therefore may not support certain point-of-sale features or advanced navigation. However, this touchscreen can be fully customizable to fit your business needs according to whatever makes sense to have immediately available at the touch of your finger.
With Windward Software you can create either a global (system-wide) or local (i.e. this workstation only) display button layout so that certain key features are displayed in an evidently obvious fashion. Windward Software's touchscreen technology lets you have the features readily available at your fingertips.
What are the benefits of an inventory management system for hardware and lumber stores?
By tracking inventory levels, you can ensure that you're ordering the right quantities for the season. This can help you avoid overstock and reduce out-of-stocks, which can lead to wasted money and lost opportunities.
Lumber comes with its own unique challenges since you have to cull it and keep track of SKU movement as a result.
An inventory management system like Windward System Five can also help you speed up the ordering process. By having a system in place that tracks inventory levels, you can quickly and easily re-order items when they're running low. This can help you reduce the time it takes for employees to manually keep tabs on your inventory.
Windward's Hardware and Lumber Software can also help you improve the customer experience. By having accurate inventory levels, you can ensure that customers are able to find the items they need in your store. This can help you keep customers happy and encourage them to return in the future.
