Rapid Garden POS

Rapid Garden POS is a customisable point of sale system built specifically for garden centres, which face requirements no general retail system handles well: live plant inventory, both retail and wholesale customers, and extreme seasonal peaks.

Green Inventory Management is where the specialisation shows. It tracks bulk goods, individual items combined into planters or gift baskets, and dead stock. Dead stock is the item a general POS has no concept of, because ordinary retail inventory does not die on the shelf, and a garden centre that cannot record shrinkage from plant loss has inventory figures that drift further from reality every week.

Item pricing supports multiple price levels, contract prices and retail markups, which is what serving retail and trade customers from one till actually requires. Orders handling covers backorders, special orders, online orders and pre-orders of seasonal stock, the last being how garden centres manage spring demand that must be committed months ahead.

Customer loyalty tools create nursery customer classifications, target email marketing by class, build loyalty programmes per class and track preferences and purchase patterns through detailed profiles. Integrated credit card processing supports a fast touch interface with mobile options for checking out anywhere in the yard, and ecommerce integration makes the inventory system the central database tracking sales from the website too.
