So, we are beginning a redesign of our retail store software, from
the ground up.  There are plenty of off the shelf products I can use
for the basis of my store, but I'd rather build it all myself and
thereby completely understand everything it does.

A visit to my local Barnes and Noble store along with a pretty good
question answer period with Dr. Google leads me to believe that
nobody has written a book on the best practices for building a web-
based retail POS.  Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Specifically, I'm looking for pointers to ensure that the system:

A)  Accurately tracks customers and their invoices
B)  Allows for our business model that centers around the concept of
in-store credit
C)  Keeps the accountants happy. :-)

The major failing of our current incarnation of home-grown software
is in letter C above, but it could stand to improve in A and B as well.

Thoughts?

I would build your POS system and then write a book on how you did it
if I were you :-).


The thought has crossed my mind. ;-)
