Multiple stores under one roof

Posted on by 20
I am a computer store owner, and have recently started selling Cell Phones for a sub agent with a major carrier. Right now we do not have a POS solution setup and have been in business for 5 years. I like the options and the configurability of the RMS solution from MS and being a partner wish to give their product a try. How customizable is the software, and can I use it to keep track of multiple stores in one solution? Being a sub agent for cell phones, I sell phones and accessories for an authorized agent. As such the accounting is different and money is collected for them, not for me. Also tracking of customers and their database would need to be separate from my computer store database. What would be perfect is the ability to choose what kind of transaction (Computer store or Cell Phone) right at the POS terminal and then have the rest sorted to where it goes. Although we repair and configure computers on a daily basis, I have next to no experience with SQL databases. I could configure everything, given some time and detailed documentation. Is this doable? Also the Cell Phone Company for which I am a sub agent for is also looking at RMS to replace their in-house POS solution, would I be able to update with their database and still keep my computer store items and transactions separate?

 Thanks!!

    What is your current General Ledger application?  Default application of RMS for multi-store is to use RMS HQ as well.  However, with intelligent use of Items and Departments, you can post the Sales / Cost of Goods to the general ledger separately.  An update could be created as an Add On that would update your items from their items.  Depending on the business relationship between your sub agent and him the agent, and the number of sub-agent(s), it might make sense to put HQ at his location and utilize the default HQ synchronization features to push information out to you the sub-agent(s).  If you need assistance: http://www.syssolutionsllc.com/ and choose Contact.
