About Aralco Retail Systems

Aralco Retail Systems is based in Vancouver, and its site says it has been developing its retail software for more than twenty years. The firm sells to businesses in the United States and Canada, mainly retail and wholesale operations, and its software is set up around the stock, sales and accounts those businesses handle every day.

Industries the software is built for

The site lists plumbing and electrical supply houses, flooring retailers, auto parts and industrial suppliers, grocery and food and beverage businesses, paint and hardware suppliers, and fabric, linen and craft stores. Food processing is treated as a separate case, because it depends on traceability: lot numbers, expiry dates and best-before dates are recorded against stock, so a product can be followed through the business.

Retail and wholesale appear as their own category, which covers the sale of goods to the public and to other trade buyers from the same records.

Where the software runs and what it connects to

The software can run on mobile devices, in the cloud or on a desktop, so a business can choose the setup that suits its premises. The firm describes accounting links to QuickBooks and Sage, and to other ERP systems, with a purchase order system alongside them. Staff can log in with a fingerprint scanner, and the system can be reached from the web as well as in store.

Office tools and staff

A built-in interface connects the software to Microsoft Outlook, Excel and Word, so information can move between the system and the programs staff already use. Staff scheduling and management are included, and the software produces traffic analysis and closing ratio reports from the shop floor.

Customer records and marketing

Customer records can be customized to the business, and a built-in targeted email tool lets a retailer contact selected customers from the same system. The site also points to a frequent shopper rewards scheme, gift cards and gift registries as part of the customer side of the product, which is why the firm presents the platform as a combined point-of-sale and customer system rather than a stock tool alone.

TrustList summary

Aralco Retail Systems develops a combined point-of-sale and inventory management system, with ERP, CRM and ecommerce features, for retail and wholesale businesses.
