free consignment inventory software

02-06-2006 5:03 PM

I've got a small retail art gallery where all inventory is on consignment. All inventory tracking is manual. We will move to POS in the future but I'm looking for something free that I can use in the mean time and get our data prepared.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Are you a non-profit?

Microsoft Small Business Accounting - It's only $40 at Amazon

Jrstpete is looking for free software. Do you have Microsoft Access available to you? I have made some inventory databases in access for our office instead of spending money for no reason.

We also have some databses in the TechSoup Free Downloads section.

I'm in the same boat.  What did you end up doing/using?

Jrstpete - Take a look at Best Consignment Shop Software. There's a free demo version that will allow you to not only enter inventory but learn more about what consignment software does. There's a lot more to it than recording inventory and sales. True consignment software calculates consignor splits, prepares settlements and disbursements, and produces a number of useful reports for your own use and for your customers' information. Better programs support bar codes, cash drawer, receipt printer, thermal and laser price-tag printers, QuickBooks, employee and buyer records and management, networking, online access to account information for consignors, inventory pictures (stored on the PC or online)...
