Switching to Rundoo

# Switch from Rain POS

Rain POS was built for general specialty retail, so supply stores end up bending it around the way they really work. Rundoo is the AI-first POS and ERP built specifically for paint, hardware, farm and feed, lawn and garden, and lumber stores, with charge accounts, vendor catalogs, and integrated payments in one place.

Why stores switch

## What stores switching from Rain POS love

Here is what tends to matter most to stores comparing Rain POS with Rundoo.

**Built only for supply stores.** Paint, hardware, farm and feed, lawn and garden, and lumber are the only thing we do, so charge accounts, contractor pricing, and vendor catalogs are first-class rather than add-ons.

**One full system, not a retail register plus bolt-ons.** Point of sale, inventory, payments, customer accounts, the CRM, and the General Ledger live together, so your numbers reconcile instead of needing a spreadsheet to make peace.

**AI on every screen.** Ask Rundoo questions about your store in plain English and get real answers from your own data, behind the same purple button.

**Guided setup.** A dedicated implementation manager handles the migration and stands up your store, so the switch does not rain on your parade.
