Hardware and Paint Store Point of Sale
Hardware and paint stores specialize in the retail sales of household items and goods such as – cleaning products, supplies, tools, utensils, paints, lawn and garden equipment, plumbing and electrical supplies and more. The best hardware store POS systems are flexible and support the sale of a variety of products – and can also manage a services and repair department. Some hardware stores have specialty sections unique to its region, and may carry hunting supplies, marine supplies, or farm/ranch supplies. Hardware stores can range in physical size from small convenience focused outlets to large facilities with lumber yards. Some paint stores carry only paint supplies and do not carry hardware – so a paint store POS software program can be valuable.
