Cross-store inventory tracking and reporting allow store managers and purchasers to know where their inventory is located to make critical decisions regarding transferring of stock or future purchases.

They were more than satisfied with QuickBooks for Mac, they had been running it for a couple of years, but wanted to find a Point-of-Sale solution.

When I first heard of LightSpeed I wondered if this was the answer.

After some research and a d emo I realized it was a beautiful work in the making.

So here is what you can expect if you decided that LightSpeed might be the solution you have been looking for.

Inventory, ordering, invoicing, reporting LightSpeed Pro does it.

This product combines all of the functionality required to manage a retail store so you can spend less time reviewing data and more time building your retail business and servicing your customers.

Click once to convert any quote into an order, to request stock or a sale to complete the purchase.

My retail client needed a solution that was streamlined enough to allow them to quickly produce a sales ticket for routine merchandise, while at the same time robust enough to give them the ability to place custom made-to-measure orders, LightSpeed met this requirement.

Easily use LightSpeed information to send customers notices of an upcomming sale, promotional pricing, or new merchandise.

The LightSpeed Pro customer profile captures and organizes customer information, giving you instant access to individual contacts, credit limits, tax preferences as well as an accurate history of each customers calls, transactions and purchases.

My retailer not only wanted to know who their best customers were, but the types and specific merchandise that made them their best customers, again LightSpeed provided the data my client was expecting to see from a new Point-of-sale system.

Create as many as 10 alternate prices for each product, to quickly adjust to specific customers or situations such as one-day sales, promotional opportunities, or close-out merchandise.

For example my client could easily discount seasonal inventory not only at the end of season, but as the season progressed.

My retail client uses this feature for both mens and womens shoes they offer, it also works for some clothing items that are offered not only in sizes of course, but the same materials in different patterns.

Track inventory and serialized products with precision as they move through your store and warehouse locations.

LightSpeeds one-click purchasing process allows you to produce stock orders and back-orders and even change suppliers on the fly.

Receive an entire purchase order, reserve product for back-orders, and print labels for everything you receive.

Transfer stock from your stores inventory to one of ten stockpiles (location, demo category, close-out, special promotions, etc.).

Their iPad Point-of-Sale integrates fully with LightSpeed Pro, to provide a complete solution for retailers seeking a system based around Apple hardware.

The LightSpeed Pro family of retail point of sale products offers powerful inventory and streamlined workflows for Mac, Mobile and eCommerce.

One reason my client liked LightSpeed so well was the clean appearance it offered when you combined the POS equipment with their Mac.

LightSpeed also offers a variety of hardware for both Mac and iPad users, you can learn more about their hardware offerings from their products website.
