Computer Store Software with Point of Sale and Integrated Back Office Functions.
Windward System Five is a fully integrated point of sale software package that helps you run your computer store instead of just reporting on it.
Ironically, most computer stores are not computerized, or only have partial systems in place. Windward System Five has the solution.

Windward’s ComputerStorePOS is a flexible, integrated, inventory control, point of sale and accounting package designed in conjunction with our existing Computer store clients.


Work Orders
A Work Order is an Un-Finished Invoice. You can create a work order when a customer orders a computer system. Windward allows you to take a deposit on an open work order.
Inventory Control
Windward System Five is extremely powerful when it comes to inventory control, pricing, and maintenance. It will support regular part numbers, alpha-numeric part numbers and bar code numbers. It will even keep track of the supplier's part number.

The inventory is costed on a first in, first out basis, but the pricing can be based on your standard price, next price, average price, or you can fix the price.
Service History
Windward System Five does an excellent job of keeping track of history. As an added feature, you can keep track of each of the customers computers and track what work or service was done. The invoice is actually tagged against the computer in question, so that at some future date, you could bring up a list and review all work done to that computer.
Prioritizing Repair or Service Orders
You can also create Work Orders for repairs, installation, or preventative maintenance.
Technician Tracking
Windward System Five will allow you to record what work was done, which technician did the work, how long it took, how many hours you billed for, and a detailed comment describing the work done.
Sales are a snap with Windward System Five. We support all the standard Point of Sale equipment including Bar Code Scanners, Pole Displays, Receipt Printers, Cash Drawers, Credit Card Verification and other systems and devices.
