Point of sale inventory management is a key component in running a lean and profitable business. RB Retail and Service Solutions provides the tools needed to tighten logistics, manage cycle counts and gain a renewed sense of control over your inventory. Don’t fall victim to inaccuracies or be overrun with frustration, missed sales, surprising shortages and lost income. RB increases accuracy and efficiency in inventory management.

RB Simple Search™

Easily search inventory by department, category, vendor or description or a combination of any. Unique to RB Retail and Service Solutions is the ability to search inventory by typing any portion of an item’s description! The exclusive RB Simple Search allows you to also take advantage of the same easy description search in a sale or sales order.

Automatic Revised Retail Prices>

Select the percentage mark up or margin for each item and the retail price is automatically calculated. You can revise retail prices and the percentage markup/margin will be adjusted to reflect the revised price. Choose to have the Point of Sale system send an automated message to staff when retail prices are changed. This keeps all sales people and service technicians informed of changes and keeps shelf tags updated to prevent issues with shoppers.

Insta-Text™ for Receipts

Attach Insta-Text to any item in inventory to print on receipts. For example, attach the text for items like solar and winter pool covers, “All returns under warranty are done directly through the manufacturer. Please keep the paperwork inside the box.” This clarifies your return policies in writing directly on the receipt. These messages are automatically applied when the specified items are added to sales orders which prevent future misunderstandings and problems.

Vendor Integrations

Our software is integrated with the Pool Corp system (SCP), allowing users to electronically submit purchase orders from RB Retail and Service Solutions directly to Pool Corp and electronically review orders, back orders, and accounts payable line items, which will streamline communications between pool dealers and their Pool Corp distributors. Another aspect of the integration is the ability to mass import all new inventory items and mass update costs on all existing inventory items. This improves quality control and efficiency.

We also integrate with Optimus Online, making pool and spa parts easy to find, sell, and order for your customers. Optimus has over 20,000 pool & spa parts in stock, plus reduced pricing, low flat rate shipping, extended same day shipping hours, and no minimum order or handling fees. The integration allows users to electronically submit purchase orders from RB Retail and Service Solutions directly to Optimus Online, get pricing, and drop ship special orders directly to your customer’s home which will save time in-house and streamline the special order process.

Inventory Reports

Organize and print hundreds of inventory reports by revenue center, department, category, vendor, warehouse or other criteria. Select the start and end dates for reports and print summaries or drill down to more detailed reports. RB Retail and Service Solutions Point of Sale software automates inventory management in many ways. It is quick and easy with many inventory reports to assist important marketing and purchasing decisions.

Physical Inventory

Easily do physical inventory using the paper method from printed reports or the handheld data collector. You can even do inventory through your smartphone or tablet with RB Mobile Live.

Combine Inventory Items

Keep a clean inventory database with the ability to combine inventory items if you have duplicates in the Point of Sale system due to a misplaced dash or incorrect number.
