Get One-Pay Consignment SoftwarePrice It Right! Software is used by managers of consignment, resale and thrift stores, garage and yard sales for obtaining suggested buy and sell prices of used merchandise - womens, mens and childrens clothing, designer clothing, baby equipment, furniture, wedding gowns and just about anything that is being resold.
PIRS suggests high, low and average prices for buying and reselling second-hand products. (You set the markup of sell prices over buy prices.)
The PIRS database contains over 360,000 items from several existing resale/consignment shops located in various regions in the North America. Configure the program to auto-adjust prices based upon your location, your customers and products (high end/low end), and your personal assessment of your business environment. Prices will be current and they will be relevant to your clientele, your locality and its economy.
Suggested prices can be also adjusted based upon each item's condition (new, slightly worn, worn), class (low, middle, high), in or out of style, in or out of demand, rarity and/or collectors' value.
For more accurate pricing, describe items in more detail (season, style, size, maternity, double stroller, 6 chairs, etc.).
When the description is complete, just press a button for prices!

Pricing used products for shopping services requires the search tools, techniques, tactics, systems, strategies, models and solutions of a price specialist. How to calculate best, high, low, buy and sell product sale price is beyond the average employee's objectives. List prices are of no special value. Website structure make optimal and objective decision management analysis inefficient. Use customized strategic database computer software for as a comparative information research guide. The design model compares consumer price lists with demand-based formula marketing so a manager can price items at retail or wholesale with less risk that markup decisions are not in line with demand. Yard and garage sales can quote right prices based upon a system and strategy that the current market allows. Print unit price tags with confidence and plan to service with favorable terms and without issues, from books to furniture.
Best Consignment Shop Software processes all types of selling transactions including resale (buy outright), retail, consignment and layaways. See resale software for details.
BCS may very well be the ONLY program offering that doesn't employ a variety of strategies for deriving a steady flow of income from your business.
Web-based software has an endless monthly fee. The software stops working when payments stop. This is clearly the most costly form of 'consignment software'.
Vendors with 'optional annual support fees' have those fees in place for a reason: They are completely fully aware that you will need help from time to time and/or their software programs are going to have issues which require updating, so the plan is to withhold service and software updates to impose payment of those 'optional' fees. If they are there expect to pay them.
If you add additional computers you'll pay more for each copy and the amount of the annual support fee will be increased. The annual fee itself has been consistently increased over the past 20 years.
Future costs can be more than the initial outlay. If you open a second location web-based will double your monthly cost while our friend at Conpro will charge full price for another copy of the software.
The hidden cost of any software program is the future cost of replacing it when the 'creator' is no longer around. Case in point: 'Consign-pro' written and totally dependent upon one person for longevity. Not a good choice to pay $1300 plus for a home-made software program dependent upon one individual.
Consignment
Every person, each item and each cat can have a specified 'consignor %' (the amount of sales paid to clients). A special tool allows for consignor % to be changed for all items for one person or for all clients.
Each category can be tax free, taxed at, taxed under, and each can have a unique discount schedule for discounting aging inventory.
Easy reports at the end of each day (week, month, quarter, year) let you know exactly how you're doing every step of the way.
Resale (Buy Outright, BOR)
Use the program to record information about sellers and the items they sell to you. (If something turns up fake, stolen or in question, the program will identify the seller.)
BCS keeps track of buy and sell prices, computes profit and loss.
As with consignment BCS supports POS equipment like scanners, drawers and receipt printers.
Retail
The program uses a shop account (or house account) to transact in merchandise purchased from suppliers, wholesalers, manufacturers, etc - other businesses.
Rental
Two types of rental sales can be conducted using BCS:
Mall floor space rental for collecting rent payments from vendors renting booths, display units, mall spaces, etc. The mall operator can make POS sales for vendors and deduct sales from monthly rent. A report is available showing who was short on sales for the month and the amounts. With Virtual vendors can access their account infor online and add inventory.
Merchandise can be rented out (DVDs, equipment, electronics, vehicles...)
Inventory
Inventory control and management is extensive in BCS. The program auto assigns a barcode to each item entered into inventory. The barcodes are typically scanned at checkout and can be scanned to find an inventory record.
Each inventory item can be assigned to a category. Each category can have it's own discount schedule for automatic discounting of aging inventory as well as individual tax treatment.
Batch functions consolidate tasks making data entry and data changes 'global' for faster processing.
POS
On the new-sale (invoice) screen up to five invoices can be opened at any time, allowing clerks to process the next person in line if the current checkout wishes to continue shopping. Sales can also be put on hold.
Any sale can be flagged as a layaway and a payment schedule can be completed at POS or later.
Sales can be discounted, by dollar amount or percentage per line item and per invoice. Invoices can be tax free (for resellers).
Any credit-card processor can be used with BCS as the program is not tied credit-card processing. Circling back to the competition, those 'integrated' with credit-card processing are probably getting a kick back from the processor on every sale.
