Dollarstore, Inc.

Dollar Store, Inc. has introduced a fully automated, computerized inventory reordering system. This Store Manager System (POS) provides valuable store information for store operators -- accurately and on time. With this sophisticated automated system, daily merchandise sales and other transactions are collected and used to prepare sales and inventory reports. The system also assists franchisees in tracking employee payroll information and preparing daily cash reports. The system also includes a state-of-the-art ordering system and new electronic scanning POS registers.

This proprietary POS is designed to automate the way Dollar Stores are operated and, most importantly, provide franchisees with information on product sales so they can do a better job of ordering products their customers want. As inventory gets low, store owners will then be able to reorder items wholesale via the computer. That will make keeping track of all those items a lot easier for store owners, who can turn the process over to the corporate offices, who will centrally track best-selling items by department. This new point-of-sale system is a first for the industry.

In the past, Rex Mehta says "It has been virtually impossible for stores to track individual items in their inventory. Dollar stores, for example, generally carry between 1,000 and 3,000 merchandise items, supplied by dozens of different vendors from house wares to hardware. Now store owners will have easy ordering access to over 100,000 items from vendors all over the world." This new system is available to any store owner who wants to install it and also available to the 10,000-plus Dollar Stores already located around the country and overseas.
