Frequently Asked Questions

Can the POS system handle bulk and weight-based pricing for building materials?

Yes. AMS Retail Solutions' NCR Counterpoint POS supports selling items by weight using integrated or stand-alone scales in various units of measurement, including fractional quantities. This makes it ideal for selling materials like aggregate, sand, or bulk hardware where transactions are weight-dependent rather than unit-based.

Does the system support contractor and trade account pricing?

Can I manage accounts receivable and credit terms for trade customers?

What happens if my internet goes down during business hours?

Does the POS integrate with QuickBooks or other accounting software?

Can I process special and custom orders for materials not kept in stock?
