Convenience Store Software Making C-stores More Profitable 

Ever climbing fuel prices and shrinking fuel margins  have small operator profits running on empty. In today's c-store environment operators must be even more efficient in capture of inside sales margin dollars to survive. Storeworks© is convenience store software designed to assist small operators with this task at a price they can afford, while also bringing enterprise level features to them. Storeworks Price Book and Storeworks HQ reporting are features avialable with Storeworks HOS. Storeworks may be installed as a single site BOS with no home office installation, or as your number of sites grows home office control of pricing and reporting may be added at a later date.

Features such as daily task lists and exception alerting save you time and money. Other notable features of Storeworks include deli management, fuel management, lottery reconciliation, interfaces to all popular POS and accounting systems, electronic ordering (EDI), and much, much more. Let us show you how Storeworks can help fill your profit tank!

You can own Storeworks for less cost than competing ASP 'software rental' models which have fewer features, higher monthly fees, and require long term contracts. Wouldn't you rather own the software you trust to run your business rather than rent it and risk critical data loss or lockout? Contact us today to own the best back office solution!

Storeworks is the latest version of our small operator back-office software. StoreWorks is a 32-bit system running Microsoft's SQL-Server, making it reliable and easy to maintain. Ask about our upgrade plan that can take your data and convert it from CMS 5.00 to Storeworks. We can also convert data from other back office systems to save time and money on your move to Storeworks.

Storeworks Support Exceeds Expectations

 

“Foam & Wash Mobil Marts recently launched a project to start automating their stores. Grace Kobata, Merchandise Manager for the company talks about the difference a well thought out back office system can make. “Moving from a system where we could only speak in generalities

 

 

 

 

 

 

such as "beer sales are down” and “merchandise is a growing category" to knowing what specific brands and product lines are driving our business, all within minutes, has been the biggest asset to our organization,” Kobata explains. 

 “Utilizing a pricebook has greatly reduced cashier training time and obviously increased accuracy.  We used to book and track all inventory manually. Now, with StoreWorks, inventories have been consistently more accurate and having reliable data has made us more effective in our buying decisions.  The guesswork is gone and we are definitely operating more efficiently.”

StoreWorks Saves Jensen's Chevron

 

"Nearly 10 years ago, I was on the verge of losing my station. I had no control on profit margin, no idea of what was in inventory and no restraints over cash loss. I tried at least 5 different back office software programs in an effort to get a handle on my business but nothing worked to my satisfaction,” recalls Debbie Jensen, owner of Jensen’s Chevron. “I finally installed Storeworks and have been in control ever since. It literally saved my business! I can do my books in minutes instead of the hours that it used to require.”
