You have a job to do. It's not an easy job, especially with competition from so many places: other campus stores, superstores, on-line retailers, even the threat of bookstore leasing. To do your job, you need to speed checkout lines or reduce them through on-line sales, maximize inventory turns, minimize training time, simplify ordering new inventory and selling your old, streamline backroom operations, track sales, and so much more.

Our Store Control System (SCS) will empower you to do your job better than any other POS system can. It's designed specifically for -- and with input from -- college bookstores, and has unique features not available from any other system. Sequoia Retail Systems, Inc. offers you more than software: we offer you the tools to get the job done.

Sequoia Retail Systems, Inc. Store Control System consists of our Partner series of software modules, which exchange information and work together with your hardware in real time, giving you unprecedented control over your store's operations. Our software is based on open standards, so that each module can completely exchange data with third-party software such as Excel, Dbase, and accounting or applications programs. Our Store Control System is comprised of several primary programs: Point-of-Sale, General Management, Textbook, Tradebook, and Department Charges. Other options include: ePOS, Wireless Partner, and Accounting
