The best gun store POS systems support the needs of specialized firearm and shooting sports retailers. These business sell firearms, ammuntion and accessories to police departments, first responders, hunters and gun enthusiasts.
Top gun store management systems must be able to track inventory and manage prices. Many gun store retailers sell items not in stock that must be ordered from their distributors – so the ability to manage special orders is critical for the store’s point of sale software. In addition, many firearm stores sell tactical gear and uniforms, which can come in a variety of sizes and colors – so support of matrix items is important.
Credit Accounts/Accounts Receivable
Offer and manage credit accounts to customers, including defining authorized users, setting credit limits and payment terms and the display of current balance and available credit. Credit account records display all charges to the account, payments on balances and authorized user activity.
Filtered Product Search
There are multiple ways to search for products and add them to a transaction. In addition to scanning barcodes and entering a SKU or product name into the top product search bar, GunBiz features an advanced filtered search. This feature allows you to search by name, SKU, model and filter results by category, vendors, brand or other attribute.
Customer-based Pricing
You have the ability to assign customers to a pricing group, making the customer eligible for special customer-based pricing and discounts. Prices are adjusted automatically at the register when a customer record with a special pricing group is attached. Customer tax groups allow you to maintain different tax settings for different customers (such as non-profits or resellers).
Management Dashboard with Key Metrics
GunBiz POS allows you get a quick snapshot of your business. At a glance, you can view key metrics such as total sales, average transaction size, sales by category, top selling items and sales by employee. The dashboard can be filtered by date range, store and employee.
Customer Purchase History
View customer sales history from the front register. Sales history can be viewed by register transactions and customer orders. The item view allows you to view the individual items purchased by the customer attached to the transaction.
Mobile POS
Set up a mobile POS system at a gun show in a few seconds. Connect your laptop or tablet to the Internet, log into GunBiz POS and you are ready to start ringing up sales. Scan bar codes and process payments. Your transactions will adjust inventory and appear in your sales reports.
Store Credits & Gift Cards
Issue, track and redeem gift cards in real-time across multiple store locations without using an outside payment processor. Use standard gift card stock purchased from any 3rd party vendor. Gift cards can be sold in fixed or variable amounts. Store credits can be also issued and tracked by customer and store.
Add or Update Product Records via CSV Imports
The data import tools in GunBiz POS allow you to load all types of data from your existing POS system when switching to GunBiz. You can import your products, customers and inventory levels from your existing point-of-sale by uploading a CSV or Excel file. You are able to import simple products, matrix products and non-inventory products.
Discounts and Promotions
You may create a time-based special price or discount using % off, $ off or a sale price. Items can be discounted at the register, with the ability to assign a reason for the discount and track any discounts by employee. You can also bundle items and assign a grouped discount at the register.
Print Barcode Price Labels
GunBiz supports multiple price tag formats, including tags with bar codes. Price tags can be printed automatically as part of the receiving process, or you can manually reprint tags for price changes. In addition, you can add labels to a queue so that they can be batch printed later.
Create POs & Receive Vendor Shipments
Generate POs quickly and easily, including copying an existing PO to speed the process. When receiving goods, simply convert the PO to a shipment document, check for variances, and click on the ‘accept’ button. The system will add them to inventory. Or you can receive goods without a PO.
Layaways and Phone Orders
Use the Orders in Progress capabilities in GunBiz POS to manage layaways and phone orders. You can add an item to an order, attach a customer record, take full payment or collect a deposit and set an expected pick-up date. You can set rules for minimum deposits. Items attached to a layaway or phone order are taken out of ‘open stock’ and classified as ‘committed stock’. You can also attach notes to the layaway order.
