Dynamics GP SO Barcode Solution?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 40

Hi -

I have a client with very simple POS needs; not enough for a full blown POS app.  They currently use GP Sales Order to process sales at their retail counter.  The issue is that although the store is not heavily used, the customers have to wait an inordinate amount of time for the person at the counter to manually enter the items into SO, then complete the sale and generate a sales slip.  Two things would make the process go much quicker; barcode scanning and a credit card solution.  We've settled on Nodus for the CC, but we've hit alot of dead ends as far as barcode scanning goes.  Every vendor we've spoken with has high end Warehouse and Inventory management systems that cost from $25,000 - $70,000; overkill for this client.  All we're looking for is a vendor that can provide a means by which we can use barcode scanners at the "registers" to automate the item number entry when a sale is being processed.  We'd also like to be able to use a scanning solution for processing receipts and doing physical inventory counts (handheld scanner).  Is anything like that available?

Thanks,

Frank

    I will also have to second www.salespad.net for their solutions.  They have a scan screen that they developed for us and then put into the core product that works VERY nicely.  They are also EXTREMELY easy folks to work with.  As far as stock count and physical inventory, they are working on it with their Data Collection piece.  It is not quite ready yet, but it is coming very soon.  We have their data collection software implemented as well and I must say that it makes our warehouse staff's lives much easier. 

    Just to note, I am an end user of Salespad and not a partner.

    If the parts sold are small and brought to the counter, a small wedge based scanner plugged into a USB port can be used to enter the parts into the SOP windows.

    If the parts are too large to be placed on the counter and the cords on a wedge based system are too short, you can get IR wedge scanners that plug into the USB port but have a range of about 50 feet.

    These are all inexpensive systems that I have used for POS style "checkout" in a warehouse sales situation.

    Hey Ron -

    Thanks for that!  Spoke with SalesPad, and it sounds like they have exactly what we need.  As a bonus, they even handle the credit card processing with SalesPad, which will eliminate another vendor we were looking at.

    Check out Salespad.  They have awesome solutions.  They just came out with a POS interface.  You don't have to be logged into GP to use it.  Nice.  www.salespad.net

     I don't know if they have a stock count feature.  I bet if you asked for one they'd get to development on it!

     Good luck.
