Intuitive Sales Screen

Place orders and process payments seamlessly with Artisan’s easy-to-use and dynamic Sales Screen.

• Quickly scan or key-in items, which automatically update quantity and order total as you enter products.
• Look for items using the Item Search and narrow results by utilizing powerful filters, such as only showing products by a certain vendor and price range.
• Create hierarchical “Quick-Pick” menus with the ability to add images and distinct colors to differentiate product choices.
• Print receipts and invoices with your store logo and other customizations, and set the cash drawer to open automatically.
• Accept common and preferred payment types, from cash and checks to debit, credit, NET-30, contactless, and more.

Enhanced Inventory Management

Our specialty retail POS system offers you the versatility you need to sell a large variety of products while staying organized.

• Track inventory with purchase requests, purchase orders, receiving, sales, layaways, special orders, and returns.
• Review quantities to track what you have in stock at each store location.
• Organize your unique inventory with products by variants, such as color, size, style, and other attributes. Also, use kits to group items to sell together, like gift baskets.
• Utilize FIFO (First In, First Out) cost accounting, a feature missing from most POS systems. Sell older items first.
• Group products by class with unlimited categories up to nine levels deep, with bulk-control options.

Powerful Purchasing Tools

Artisan makes ordering inventory stress-free with the ability to create purchase orders and requests.

• Organize your stock by emailing purchase orders to your vendor, which can be reconciled with vendor invoices and exported to QuickBooks as are bills due. POs can include arrival and cancellation dates for future orders with important notes.
• Receive purchase orders to speed up your inventory process and automatically print labels.
• Create inventory records directly from purchase orders to save time.
• Use reorder levels to generate purchase requests for items when their QOH drops below a certain number. Utilize Smart Start to buy what you sold the most of during a specific time period, useful for the holiday season.
• Special orders from customers automatically create purchase requests, which can be tracked from ordered, to received, to delivered.

Receiving Made Easy

Inputting your inventory is simple and efficient. Plus, receiving ensures your stock is recorded in the program.

• Receive items with or without a purchase order.
• Use a scanner or handheld device to speed up your work even more.
• Print merchandise labels from receiving (or at any stage), from large cardstock tags to small jewelry tags.
• Update costs upon receiving items or later from vendor invoices.
• Review or print receiving reports and logs within Artisan to analyze your stock.

Easy-to-Use eCommerce Integration

Take your store online and reach more customers with a Shopify or WooCommerce webstore that seamlessly integrates with our specialty retail POS software.

• Ensure your business gets in front of new customers to boost sales.
• Efficiently build an eCommerce webstore and upload products, including images, titles, categories, descriptions, and other details.
• Any changes are automatically synced to keep online and in-store products accurate. A product’s quantity on hand, price, and other fields update quickly, so you never accidentally sell an item that isn’t in stock.
• Orders automatically download to the system, as well as customer names and contact info. If there’s a match in the program, Artisan will find them.
• Shopify and WooCommerce have plenty of templates to get you started with countless personalization options.

Convenience with Remote Operation

Sharing data over the Internet has its challenges and risks. Enter: Artisan’s Remote Operation.

• Cloud data is dependent on an Internet connection, which may be slow or unstable. When you lose that connection, you can lose access to your data. That’s not the case with our Remote Operation feature.
• Local data is almost always faster than cloud data.
• Remote Operation allows you to share data between sites or stations on different networks, connected to the Internet using our Cloud 2.0 technology. Even if you lose Internet, you still have access to your local data.
• Artisan automatically catches up once reconnected to the Internet after a disconnect, ensuring you don’t lose any sales, transactions, or other important data.
• Even though there are some limitations, Artisan’s Remote Operation Feature is perfect for working away from your store, such as from home, or areas without Internet, like tradeshows, storage facilities, and sidewalk sales. Our dedicated technical staff is ready to assist with setup and maintenance.

Sophisticated Business Reporting

Whether you need high-level visibility into your retail operation or you’re drilling down on specific metrics, you can do it all with Artisan POS.

• View built-in or custom reports from sales, merchandising, purchasing, receiving, customers, eCommerce, and more detailed information.
• Calculate and review what’s selling and what’s not so you can keep the right inventory in stock.
• Analyze margins, gross profits, net received, markups, and other relevant data.
• Utilize the report designer to build on existing reports or make your own from scratch.
• Hire CerTek to build reports to fit your store’s needs.
