Windward System Five is a fully integrated point-of-sale software package that helps run your lighting store instead of just reporting on it.

Windward System Five is the best choice for managing your lighting store. There are many unique problems encountered by lighting stores that the other "off the shelf" accounting packages cannot handle. For example, special orders (or tag orders) are very common in the lighting industry and are especially easy to use with Windward System Five.

Fixture Inventory Control
Many lighting stores custom order inventory for their clients. Windward will allow you to start an invoice at point of sale, sell the inventory item and take a deposit. The system will remind you and ensure that you remember to call the supplier and order it. When it arrives, the system will remind you to set the inventory item aside for the customer, ensuring that you or your staff do not accidentally sell the item to another customer.

Automatically Sell Bulbs With Fixtures
When you add a lighting fixture to an invoice - the bulbs will automatically be added.

Designers Can Assign Rooms To Fixtures
Store and track which room will house various lighting fixtures, you can add each room to the invoice to ensure all the rooms are accounted for, another example of what Windward System Five can do for your lighting business.

Partial Delivery Support - deliver items in-stock now and track and deliver back-orders later.

Ultimate Customization
Windward System Five is configurable to the different types of inventory requirements for your specific lighting store. Several pricing strategies and inventory designs are available.

Wireless Support
Many lighting stores have moved towards a wireless point of sale solution. Most of the time it is inconvenient for you to take down your showroom displays and scan them. With Windward System Five and a wireless scanner, you can freely walk around the store with your customer and build their order immediately.

Builder/Contractor Support
Copy templates - store builder budgets with ease
Windward System Five is built to work with and keep track of multiple independent contractors. When a contractor builds the same house multiple times, you can save the template for future use. This saves valuable time by not having to duplicate work.

Special Orders
An important benefit of Windward is the ability to create and track customers special orders - from the initial order and down payment to the final delivery.

Builder Budgets
If the house is sold before construction is completed, the builder may give the new owners a lighting allowance and allow them to choose their own lighting. If more expensive lights are purchased, the owner pays the difference and the builder pays his portion.

Search by Construction Address
Windward System Five is built to work with and keep track of multiple independent contractors. If a contractor is working on several projects, you have the ability to get the specific information for your customer. Search by contractor name, construction address, invoice number and more.

Track Deliveries to Job Sites
When a builder orders the lighting for a new home, some of the fixtures may need to be delivered immediately while others need to be special-ordered and delivered in the future. As work progresses, items that are delivered can be blocked and moved from the open work order onto a completed and delivered invoice. This way, you'll have an excellent record of what and when the delivery was made, what is still on order, and what is waiting to be delivered.

Special Contractor Pricing
Give better pricing to your best contractors using up to twelve price schedules.
