The product should be user-friendly and easy to navigate. This equates to less training and lower labor costs. Gather critical data with consignment-specific insights and run custom, automated reports. You can evaluate key stats and trends like:. The right POS will help a store conveniently separate new and used inventory and distinguish between store-owned and consigned products.
All the data you collect will help a business determine which consignors bring in the best merchandise and the most popular brands on the market today. A consignment shop has unique needs when it comes to managing vendors.
Your POS system should provide a means for consigners to service themselves. A consignor portal is a great tool for doing just that. Consignors should have their own login and maintain their own data. They can add items remotely to your POS with a description, quantity, and price.
All products are entered and managed remotely. A consignment shop can use the shared system to:. A self-service feature will streamline the checkout process and minimize errors. This saves a shop valuable time and money.
A sad reality of owning a business is the sheer amount of opportunities for fraud and theft. Any modern technology you purchase should have features in place to protect your shop, your consignors, and all customer data.
The product you choose must be PCI-compliant with end-to-end encryption and cloud-based data storage. Additionally, there should be tools to limit employee theft. User-based permissions and roles can be set in the POS dashboard so that certain staff can only access specific data.
Using a point of sale platform that stores data in the cloud means that no amount of equipment failure in the world will affect the integrity of the information. It also means more opportunities to share data between teams. Cloud-based technology enables a business to manage operations at any time, from anywhere. One largely overlooked feature of a powerful consignment shop POS system is the marketing tools you need to harness all this data collected.

What you get:. Create a completely custom commerce solution with us. Well, I could go on like a commercial but Go Brian! I'm glad to see you will be giving us an alternative to [that other resale website]. We love our ConsignPro and didn't want to give it up to go online.
We also have been very, very pleased with the support we receive from Brian, not that we need it often. Brian is always wonderful about updating the program when you want a new feature.
I was leary about computerizing our system when we opened 3 years ago we didn't for the first 6 months because of the nightmare a friend of ours was having when she computerized a shop she bought I don't know how many times the software has been bought and she has had to dish out additional money to "update" to the new owners and how many times she had major problems with the system and seemed to get no support. Good luck to everybody who chooses to go online Mark me as one of the happiest software owners on the market - yes it is ConsignPro.
If only all of our other business contacts could perform as well as ConsignPro and give the customer service that Brian does. It really did go without a hitch. My CB program was only purchased 1 yr ago but I anticipated lots of future problems in dealing with ResaleWorld.
In the last couple of weeks we've just about mastered ConsignPro, and Brian has been available for the few times we've had questions. Even the first day of using the new program everything ran smoothly and efficiently. The customer service provided by Brian has been exemplary.
I have never met Brian, do not work for ConsignPro, and we have not received any special treatment. We are simply happy customers who feel that we have received a quality product for our hard earned money Please feel free to email mepersonally with any questions.
Thanks for the wonderful system. You can't believe how much easier you have made our lives here at Creative Consignment. We are invoicing 60 to items per day and your system has helped do this for us and still give us time to maintain our store. You're the best! Thank you also for the support you gave us as we were setting up the system. One always wonders how much support you will actually get when you are offered "tech support".
You always answered our questions right away, even when I had to call you about my printer 4 times in one afternoon. We use ConsignPro - I agree with Bob. Brian has been invaluable to us. Hi, I have two stores. I like features of both; however, when it gets down to the nitty gritty, it is service and response that really matters. I have used Liberty since or and have yet to get help from their tech staff that was useful, although they charged me an arm and a leg for it.
Brian at ConsignPro not only has provided immediate help but has offered and has written changes to the program specifically for me. I recommend ConsignPro. I just opened my store 2 weeks ago and I use ConsignPro - I love it!! I demo'ed a lot of them before I decided to go with ConsignPro. It is simple and easy to use, yet does everything I need it to do. One of the main reasons though, is the flexibility of printing tags.
I use an ink-jet printer, but you can use almost any printer with this program. With other software programs, I found I was very limited. Thanks for your reply concerning ConsignPro software and the Y2K issue Thanks in advance for your reply. Victor Bray. So far this is the best and easiest to use program we have seen. We are happy to have purchased a copy from you and your company.
Leigh Ann, you will get as many recommendations for software as there are software companies. You should decide what features each software offers and which you feel you need for your store.
Also other issues that may be important to you are the cost, how easy the program is to use, and the technical support you will get from the software company. For us the answer was ConsignPro and we have never regretted it. We bought our software about 3 years ago when ConsignPro was just getting started and as our store has grown and we have wanted additional features in the software - ConsignPro has always been one step ahead of us in updating the software.
On the rare occasions when we have had questions or experienced difficulty Brian has always quickly responded to our needs and has been able to talk us through the problems as if he was sitting next to us. I have used Liberty for DOS since , the program itself is fine-it's the customer support and the people behind the program that are the problem!
If I were to do it all over again, without a doubt I would go with ConsignPro! Another conference attendee told me that Brian originally designed this program for his mother who herself owns a consignment store. I would think that this gives Brian some real insight into the workings of a consignment store.
I also saw the program in operation, and it has all the features anyone could possibly want. Whichever way you decide to go, best of luck to you!! Just had to say how much I love ConsignPro!!! I have a life now! I love the business but this program allows me a lot of extra time I didn't have before! Just did my first upgrade and its even better than before Thanks Brian! Your Wonderful!!!! I am so excited about this program that I can't even spell!!! Fingers working out of sink with the brain sometimes!
We were among some of the first consignment stores to use ConsignPro starting in The software is substantially improved since those early days and Brian Wilson has been receptive to suggested improvements over the years Dollar for dollar, I don't think you can find a more comprehensive software program to track inventory and sales As far as the software keeping track of your inventory, it most definitely will accomplish this for you as we use it to inventory all sorts of merchandise including clothing, artwork, furniture, etc.
In summary, I would not hesitate to recommend ConsignPro to you as it sounds like it would do very well for your application. And, again, all your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your assistance. It's good to see that there are still software companies out there that have such good customer service! I'm not familiar with your various software packages, or even with your company, but I can honestly tell people who ask that you have an excellent customer support department, and I hope that will speak volumes for you.
I use ConsignPro and opened my store with it about 15 months. It is very easy to use and is constantly being upgraded in response to all the input Brian receives from his customers. Yearly maintenance fee is minimal and you get all the support you need.
Never have had to use it, but in case I should ever have to, it is there. Thank you for your continued support and constant improvements and updates to this software!!! Cutie Patutie's could not be the successful, growing store it is today without the help of your software. I love the new report features that allow for detailed inventory lookup reports to be printed.
This new feature makes it much easier to keep track of expired items and then take them down off the shelves! I think the main feature, says it in the name. SimpleConsign… It is simple to use and intuitive. Clearly much thought was put into what features are needed most to run a consignment retail environment. It integrates beautifully with our Shopify website, and is well supported I would highly recommend. Given it requires remote integration owner driving roll out from afar.
As well, SimpleConsign does not offer a platform that is formatted for phones. I do a lot of work remotely on my Apple phone, and find the platform hard to navigate from my phone. I did my best to research any feedback regarding the various platforms. SimpleConsign had the best testimonials regarding easy of use and remote support - that is what tipped the scales. Thank you for the review Michelle, usually during your setup process our onboarding specialist is there for you every step of the way.
