Rundoo AI can draft a purchase order from actual sell-through data so you are not ordering on gut feel. [See AI order generation →](/product/save-time-effort-with-ai/index.md) ### Clean, connected product data from your vendors The [Rundoo Catalog](/product/catalog/index.md) cleans and maintains more than a million products and connects directly to vendor catalogs like Orgill, Benjamin Moore, or PPC, so you manage products without the endless manual imports and data entry. ### One purchase order, multiple vendors Flexible order management lets you add multiple purchase orders on one buying list and mix vendors within a transaction, so purchasing bends to the way your store actually buys. ### Receiving updates the whole store When a delivery comes in, receiving updates stock and costs so the counter, buyer, and owner are all working from the same numbers. 02 ### Protect your margin Keep cost changes, margin rules, and promotions tied to the register, so the right price is set before the sale rings, not patched up after. ### Never work from outdated prices AI price-change alerts watch your vendor costs and flag increases before they reach the register, so you update your prices before the margin leaks, not after. ### Set your margin strategy your way Apply flexible price management with percentage or dollar margins per product or per category, so your pricing reflects the strategy you actually want to run. ### Run promotions in the same system Discount by dollar or by percentage right where you sell, without bolting on another tool or rekeying prices for the weekend sale. 03 ### Keep inventory honest One live count across every location, so what the screen says matches what is sitting on the shelf, in the yard, and at the gate. ### Catch stock-outs before they happen AI stock-out alerts spot items heading toward zero and help you stock complementary products so you do not lose a whole sale over one missing piece. ### Keep inventory live, not stale Live inventory counts and the mobile app help you avoid stale and overstocked inventory, and you can attach images and tags to the products sitting in your yard, gate, or storage. ### Run multiple locations as one Multi-store purchasing, proactive inventory balancing, and transfers help you manage several locations without juggling separate systems. ## Stores protecting margin on Rundoo [Adam's True Value becomes the first store in the True Value network to run a self-checkout kiosk with Rundoo ![Adam's True Value Hardware](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/clients/adams-true-value-hardware/logo.png) Scranton, PA → ![Chris and Justin Taffera](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/clients/adams-true-value-hardware/justin-taffera.jpg) Chris and Justin Taffera Co-owners](/clients/adams-true-value-hardware/index.md) [From Real Estate to Retail: Hardware Express ![Hardware Express](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/clients/hardware-express-logo.png) Brooklyn, NY → ![Beryl Junik](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/clients/hardware-express-owner.png) Beryl Junik Owner](/clients/hardware-express/index.md) [Two Yards, One System: Vetter Lumber ![Vetter Lumber](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/clients/vetter-lumber-logo.png) Bluffton, OH → ![Tammy & Jason Kinsinger](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/clients/vetter-lumber/owners-couple-portrait.jpg) Tammy & Jason Kinsinger Owners](/clients/vetter-lumber/index.md) ## News and updates from the Rundoo team [![The best POS systems for farm and feed stores in 2026](https://pub-5247264bd04e4ebeaecbbedb3bebb9f8.r2.dev/static/images/articles/best-pos-for-farm-and-feed-stores-thumb.png) Titus Capilnean · July 3, 2026 ### The best POS systems for farm and feed stores in 2026 A buyer's guide to farm and feed store POS systems in 2026, from Epicor Eagle and Lightspeed to niche feed systems and Rundoo, judged by bulk units, charge accounts, and statements.
