Shop Management Solution

Running a small or medium business, such as a retail store, requires a certain level of management, organization and financial skills. Keeping track of item inventory, money and contractor information can easily become a time-consuming activity, especially if you rely on multiple suppliers or if you supply several vendors.

You can use a management utility, such as Shop Management Solution, to help you organize several information regarding finances, stock and third parties.

In order for this application to run properly, you need to install .NET Framework and MS Access Runtime.

Shop Management Solution comes with a plain, slightly outdated layout that displays unsophisticated functions, therefore allowing you to understand and access them without difficulty.

Although it supports maximizing and restoring, the main window cannot be resized under any circumstances. More so, trying to switch to another application by using the Alt + Tab key combination can crash the program or make it display error messages.

This application allows you to build a stock by defining item types that are added to a database. The database includes information such as measurement unit, barcode, sale price and purchase price. When creating a purchase record, you can specify the date, item type, quantity and contractor.

Both vendors and contractors have to be added to a list before you can specify them in a sale or purchase entry, as this application does not support updating information on the go.

Shop Management Solution allows you to add custom measurement units and use them in your transactions. The Settings window allows you to customize information such as shop name, address and preferred currency, and also choose a custom header image.

To wrap it up, Shop Management Solution can prove to be a reliable tool, if you need an application that provides you with basic inventory functions and do not mind the occasional error messages or the fixed-size window.
