Counter sales are typically very profitable for industrial distributors, but can be hard to process through many ERP software packages. TrulinX by Tribute, Inc. is a sophisticated distribution and fabrication management software package that makes counter sales a snap.

The TrulinX counter sales module enables you to process walk-in orders, or pickups, quickly and efficiently.

You can complete the counter sales transaction directly from one screen in a timely fashion due to the following capabilities:

1. Easily find customers and pertinent credit information
2. Check inventory real time at all locations
3. Quickly generate a hose assembly order on the fly
4. Separate counter stock from warehouse inventory and easily transfer
5. Issue customer returns and credits on the fly
6. Ability to apply any pricing contracts to sale
7. Easily designate sale taxable or nontaxable
8. Multiple payment options: cash, credit card, check and “on account”
9. Put a deposit down on back orders / special orders
10. Secure (PCI compliant) credit card processing
11. Digital signatures on counter order receipts

In addition, a phone order can be processed as a counter sale after-the-fact, in case a customer unexpectedly arrives to pick up their ordered goods and want to pay for them at that time. No need to delete and re-enter the order, simply modify it and process as a counter sale.

Whatever your needs, from occasional walk-in customers to a full-fledged retail counter sales business, TrulinX gives you the right tools to do the job.
