Three systems, none of them talked to each other.

The previous setup was held together by routine. Each morning a manager exported sales from the POS, opened the rent spreadsheet, looked up vendor balances, and decided who was past due. End-of-day required another export to email out daily totals. None of it scaled past one market without doubling the manual work.

  • Generic POS didn't understand vendors — every sale had to be tagged manually
  • Rent in a spreadsheet meant no audit trail, no automation, no vendor self-service
  • Daily totals required somebody to be physically at a computer at close
  • Adding a second location meant doing all of the above twice

One database. Everything reads from it.

We built a custom POS with vendor identity baked into every transaction, a rent ledger that lives in the same database, a vendor portal with per-vendor logins, and an automated daily operator email. The credit card terminals are modern tap-to-pay devices integrated directly into the register flow.

  • Multi-vendor POS — every sale tied to a vendor automatically
  • Rent ledger with weekly/monthly/seasonal billing and late flags
  • Vendor portal — each vendor sees their own sales, balance, and history
  • Daily operator email at close — totals by vendor, terminal, and location
  • Multi-location support — one admin can run several markets
  • Modern card terminals — tap-to-pay, no chunky bricks

Operator gets the day's totals with coffee. Not at midnight.

The biggest day-to-day shift: nobody has to be at the computer at close to know how the day went.

Daily reconciliation, eliminated

Sales and rent live in the same system. The weekly reconciliation job that used to take a Saturday morning doesn't exist anymore.

Vendors self-serve

Vendors check their own sales and balances from home. Support questions to the office dropped sharply because the information is now in their hands.

Scaled to multi-location

Adding a second market didn't require duplicating the operator's workflow. One login, multiple locations, segregated reporting.
