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 softwareis in letter C above, but it could stand to improve in A and B as well.Thoughts? -- KimballI 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. ;-)-- Kimball
