Your buying-group catalogs, contractor charge accounts, and inventory, on one system your whole team can learn in a day.

Vendor integrations reduce manual imports and data entry while keeping the customer experience smooth. And when the same product lives in more than one catalog, compare vendor costs side by side before you place the order, a comparison no other point of sale offers. 02 ### Accounts and inventory that keep up Pro pricing at the register and stock that updates the moment you sell or receive, so nobody works from a day-old export. ### Charge accounts and contractor pricing House accounts, tiered pricing, account balances, and statements are right there at the register, so the pro gets the right price and you get paid on time. [See customer workflows →](/product/improve-customer-satisfaction/index.md) ### Inventory that keeps up with the SKU count Stock, costs, and purchase orders update the moment you ring a sale or receive a truck, so the buyer is never working from a day-old export. 03 ### Rundoo AI Ask what lost margin, which accounts are past due, or what to reorder before the season, and get the answer in seconds. Rundoo AI ### AI that watches margin and stock Ask which products lost margin last month, which contractor accounts are past due, or what to reorder before the season, and get the answer in seconds.

It's nice that you could type in like concrete or quick creek and like all your options come up and then you can just pick it versus knowing like SKU. And it shows you a picture of most of the stuff. July 24, 2026 C Chris Taffera Adam's True Value Hardware > Our sales guy is blown away that we could scan stuff on our phones and it goes into a shopping cart—you don't have to walk around with a monitor and a push cart and a laptop and a scan gun. July 4, 2026 C Crystal James Community True Value Hardware & Building Supply > I do love the AI. I do love that it's online. I really do love that. July 4, 2026 D Dan Bay Hardware > I love the AI internet integration part — being able to say, hey, this is what I'm thinking, what can you do, without having to call Epicor or read through all the education files. I'm excited from all the things that you showed me that the AI can do, especially when it comes to setting up our files. July 17, 2026 D David Montgomery A & D Hardware > I really love the AI part — 'this is what I'm trying to do and how can I do it?' And then it even fixed a couple of the double entries where we double-entered Milwaukee items and it deactivated the wrong one for us, and it helped a lot in that. July 10, 2026 N Nina Nesmith Los Altos Hardware > We're really liking it. We're liking it more and more every day... just the ease of it is so much better. We came from Eagle, and that was so cumbersome and old fashioned. So this was a lot better. June 19, 2026 G Gary McGrady Hillsboro Hardware > The big thing, the search engine is so much better. Your algorithm is more like Google — if I come close, it's going to start popping up. June 19, 2026 D Doug Dann Orgill > Well, that's fantastic. That's exactly what I want.

Rundoo is the AI-first POS built specifically for independent hardware stores. It brings the point of sale, deep inventory, charge accounts, integrated payments, and the buying-group catalogs you order from into one cloud-based system, with Rundoo AI on every screen: ask what lost margin last month, which contractor accounts are past due, or what to reorder before the season, and get the answer in seconds. Does Rundoo include catalogs for True Value, Do It Best, or Orgill? Yes. Rundoo includes vendor catalogs for True Value, Do It Best, Orgill, and dozens more, searchable from the same bar the counter sells from. See [customer workflows](/product/improve-customer-satisfaction/index.md) and our [partners](/partners/index.md). Can Rundoo handle a deep SKU count and contractor charge accounts? Yes. Stock, costs, and purchase orders update as you sell and receive, and house accounts with tiered pricing and statements are built in. See [customer workflows](/product/improve-customer-satisfaction/index.md). Is Rundoo cloud-based? Yes. Rundoo runs in any browser on web or tablet, so you can work from the counter, the back office, or your phone, with nothing to install. ## See Rundoo in your hardware store "Whatever we ask, somebody picks up.
