Voyager Professional

Voyager Professional is our software solution for independent retailers and wholesalers, specifically those selling sporting goods and other, more general merchandise. It includes point-of-sale, inventory management, warehouse, distribution center, customer account management, order processing, e-commerce, work order, rental, data-mining, advanced reporting, and more.

It’s real-time software that integrates all areas of a retail/wholesale business into one, complete system. This means that, as sales are made and merchandise is received, the new information is available instantly across the entire store or chain. Errors can be corrected and changes put into effect immediately.

Voyager has features that help sporting goods stores and other retailers operate more effectively and profitably. For instance, it has work order and rental modules. This means that you don’t have to use a different system to keep track of your service and rentals. This can save you a lot of headaches.

The software is also fully customizable. If you want changes made to the system, we can probably accommodate you. Just ask!

Special Orders

Specialty retailers such as tack shops typically only stock a small sample of the total items they carry. Most of their goods are special order due to their complicated nature. A custom saddle, for instance, could have a large number of variables.

Voyager gives you the power to take these orders and process them from start to finish. The Point-of-Sale module lets you create the orders. The Purchase Order system then creates a PO based on the Special Order. The Receiving system informs the Customer system as each customer’s order is received, and, finally, the POS module takes the final payments.

The Special Order and the Purchase Order systems are tied very closely together. Information passes between these two modules so you have all the information available when your customer inquires about their order.
