Generic POS vs. landscape supply POS

Bulk quantities, contractor prices, charge accounts, delivery addresses, trucks, and destination-based tax expose the limits of a generic checkout system.

The sale

Generic POS handles items with one unit and price. Landscape supply POS must preserve bulk quantities, alternate units, fulfillment, and yard instructions on one product record.

The customer

Regular contractors need their price level and account context to appear when they are selected. Discounts alone do not explain the price, and a separate receivables system does not help the cashier see the current balance.

The delivery

A delivery needs a fee, address, tax calculation, time window, truck capacity, driver instructions, customer communication, and completion status.

The office

Office staff use the details captured at order entry for inventory, payment, tax, accounts, purchasing, and accounting. A landscape supply system keeps those details on the order.

Map an order from customer request to accounting. Choose the system that removes re-entry and preserves the details your yard uses.
