Why Resale Businesses Evaluate SimpleConsign

A standard retail system usually assumes that the store owns every item it sells. Consignment stores and vendor malls may also need to track who owns an item, how the sale is divided, when merchandise was received, which markdown applies, what is owed to each account, and which vendor or location completed the sale.

SimpleConsign combines resale-focused point of sale with inventory management, consignor and vendor accounts, barcode labels, reporting, payout workflows, ecommerce options, and multi-location capabilities.

Computer Planning

  • Use a currently supported Windows or macOS computer.
  • SimpleConsign currently recommends 16 GB of RAM for enhanced performance.
  • Allow enough adequately powered ports for the keyboard, mouse, receipt printer, scanner, and label printer.
  • Use a wall-powered USB hub when the computer does not provide enough ports.
  • Confirm driver availability before choosing printers and other peripherals.

Devices to Review Carefully

  • ARM-based Windows computers, including Snapdragon configurations
  • Chromebooks
  • Tablets used as the primary store computer
  • Linux computers
  • Low-specification computers that may slow store workflows
  • Computers with too few adequately powered peripheral ports

Test the Complete Setup Before Opening Day

Order hardware early enough to connect printers, install drivers, configure barcode scanners, verify cash drawer operation, test receipts, approve label formats, confirm paper and media, and train employees before the planned launch.

Vendor malls and multi-location businesses should consider standardizing hardware models, connection types, labels, paper, cables, accessories, and backup equipment across stations and stores.
