Switch from Lightspeed
Lightspeed is a well-built retail platform, and stores that use it tend to like the interface. But supply stores consistently run into its limits: charge accounts are clunky or nonexistent, invoicing across multiple locations is painful, and the system wasn't designed for the way hardware, paint, and farm stores actually operate. Rundoo was.
What stores switching from Lightspeed love
Lightspeed stores that switch to Rundoo tend to like their old system's interface just fine. The frustrations are almost always about the things Lightspeed wasn't built to do. Here's what they tell us after making the move:
Charge accounts that don't feel like a workaround. Lightspeed's charge account handling is a consistent pain point for supply stores. One store described it as a "nightmare situation" where processing payments requires bouncing between separate systems, and ACH payments can take ten days to clear. On Rundoo, charge accounts, statements, and payments are all native, and your contractors can pay directly from the mobile app.
Invoicing that works across locations. Multi-store Lightspeed users tell us that invoicing is a major headache, especially when trying to keep customer accounts and inventory consistent across locations. Rundoo was built for multi-location from the start, so invoices, inventory, and customer data stay in sync across every store in real time.
A system built for your industry, not every industry. Lightspeed serves restaurants, retail boutiques, golf courses, and everything in between. That breadth means supply store needs like EDI ordering, contractor pricing tiers, and buying group integrations are never going to be a priority for their product team. At Rundoo, independent supply stores are the only thing we do, and that focus shows in every feature we build.
