Also, I run XCharge as my credit card processing. It fully integrates into
APOSME. You can manually enter or use a credit card swipe (which is what I
use).

Brainmush,
My family owns a feed, farm & pet store. My parents are NOT computer
literate. However, I computerized our entire operations with a point-of-sale
program named "Advanced Point of Sale Made Easy". It tracks all sales for
customers, has a customer database, tracks sales by employee, etc. I
currenlty have it set up on 9 computers on my network. I simply have a
mapped drive to the first computer with all the data.

The program only cost $149.95 per copy (note that it is half priced now). (I
have to buy one more copy, I guess now is the time. You can download a fully
functional copy that will run for up to 30 days. I am very happy with it and
currenlty operate our business, with gross sales of just under $2,000,000 per
year.

I track my regular customers sales, do invoicing for certain customers that
we allow to charge, I run reports for customers at the end of the year, etc.

I am very pleased with the program. I een provided the developer with a
testimonial and it is on his front page. It's real.

Visit www.APOSME.com for information on the program.

brainmush,
I couldn't agree with Gina more...
Given your level of expertise, and time available, you should definitely
look into "canned" POS software. There are tons of POS packages out
on the web, from bare bones to sophisticated, and often reviewed by real
users.

...
I need to (very quickly) create a program that is user friendly that would
be
used by a small corner store to track
sales/inventory/expenses/employees/etc.
the main issue is it need to track every sale by the employee entering (by
combo boxes) categories then choosing the product and then that would
bring
up the price and a quanity box. The employee would enter all the products
for each sale and would get a running total for each client. Once the
sale
is complete it would update the inventory to subtract the quantities sold.
Other ideas is to be able to have promotion prices for regular clients,
pop-ups to show when inventory needs to be restocked and so on. I know
there are inventory databases out there but I can't find one to for a
point
of sales program. Does anyone know if it exists? Is there a template out
there somewhere. I started trying to create it myself but as it turns
out,
spending the last 3 years with a baby did nothing good for my brain and
programming skills. I have very little time and fear I may need to accept
defeat! PLEASE HELP!!!!!
