Grids can be one-, two- or three-dimensional, with an unlimited number of colors and sizes (or lengths, widths, heights, etc.) An item can have thousands of unique color/size combinations. When a new item is set up, its grid layout is also established. New items may also be set up by copying existing grids, reducing setup time and opportunities for error.

Serial Number tracking provides a detailed record of each piece of merchandise - when it was received, what it cost, which customer bought it, when it was bought and warranty expiration. Serial number tracking is beneficial to any business that sells big-ticket items, tracks product warranties or deals in regulated commodities.
Purchasing is designed to help businesses control purchases and recevings. During purchasing and receiving functions, items are automatically updated with on-order or quantity received information.
