Inventory Control Features

Good inventory control is essential to properly running a business. If you run out of stock, you will lose sales. If you have too much stock, the lack of cash flow will hurt you. Windward's SportStorePOS makes inventory control easy for you to track, print out reports and always be aware of your stock levels.

Track inventory! See what you sold, what you need to order and what should be left in stock. Windward can be interfaced with your Palm Pilot or various portable data collectors and your computer. It captures the data from these devices, automatically updates the data base, sends the information directly to SportsStorePOS, all at the touch of a button.
