Rapid Garden Point-of-Sale Systems

Rapid Garden POS

Green retailers have distinct challenges that standard, off-the-shelf, point-of-sale systems aren’t designed to manage — particularly production oversight of living inventory. Implementing a POS solution built specifically for growers, such as Rapid Garden POS, allows you to effectively:

1. Convert inventory from single units to combined items with production kitting tools. Our system even recommends a suggested price based on items used.

2. Transition growing inventory into larger containers (and price points). Rapid Garden POS works just as easily in reverse for plants that you divide or those that need to be nursed back to a sellable condition.

 3. View real-time data, so you can track exactly where your production inventory is and its current status — without the cost of an enterprise-level production management system. Adapt your existing systems and tools into a central solution that manages dispatch and service, delivery, shipping and fulfillment, accounting and more! www.rapidgardenpos.com
