Rundoo

Why stores switch

Three reasons stores outgrow Square.

Rundoo's statement runs screen, with a notice that this month's automatic statement run is ready to send, a Generate statements button, and the last four runs showing the period, the date sent and how many statements each generated.

Statements in one run

Every charge account billed on the cycle you set, and customers can pay from their phone.

Rundoo's staff app on a phone, receiving a 409-line hardware order, each line showing the product number, name and vendor SKU with the quantity received times the unit cost and the line total.

Inventory that keeps up

Your distributor's items and costs come in on their own, and a 400-line order is received by scan.

Rundoo's pricing tiers list, with MSRP and Retail set as manual tiers and Standard Discount and Contractor set as rule-based tiers.

Price tiers built in

Set a contractor's tier once and the right price lands at the counter, on every product.

Where Rundoo pulls ahead

The whole store in your pocket, and an assistant that does the work.

Rundoo's staff app on a phone, showing a product with its on-hand, incoming and committed stock at four locations and its price on each pricing tier, MSRP and Retail.

Run the counter from your phone

Check a contractor's price and stock at every location, or count a shelf, right from the aisle.

Rundoo’s assistant, Dooey, answering “What is my inventory value by department?” with the on-hand value of Nursery, Irrigation and Landscape Supply and a total of 23,058.20 dollars, then noting that nursery carries about 88% of the inventory dollars.

Dooey does the work

Ask about your accounts, inventory or margins, or hand it a photo of an order and get a purchase order back.

The process

How switching works

1

You get a person

As soon as you sign, you're paired with a dedicated implementation manager who has real experience working in supply stores.

2

We migrate your data

Everything Square will export, loaded for you, and you review it before go-live.

3

Training and go-live

Your team gets hands-on training sessions before go-live day, and your implementation manager stays with you through the first weeks to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Frequently asked questions

What does Rundoo cost?
You pay one subscription that covers the software, support, updates and hosting, and there is no cap on how many people use it. What you pay depends on how many locations you have, so book a demo and we will quote your store.
Can I keep my Square hardware?
No. Square readers only work with Square. You will need a workstation or tablet at each register and Rundoo card readers, and we size that with you before you pick a date.
What happens to my open house account balances?
You close them out on Square and start clean on Rundoo, usually at a month boundary, so the first statement comes out right.
Can I sell online?
Yes, and it is included in your subscription. Rundoo comes with an online store that sells from the same inventory your counter sells from, so a product goes online as soon as you mark it sellable. If you would rather keep the storefront you already run, direct connections to Shopify, WooCommerce and other e-commerce platforms are on the way. Most systems charge for the web store and charge again for the connector to it. There is more on the e-commerce page.
Do you have a loyalty program?
Yes. Customers earn points on what they spend, and you set how many points a dollar earns and what a point is worth. They redeem for a discount at the register. You can leave out the customers and products that should not earn points, grant points by hand, and set them to expire. Rundoo also runs the brand programs your customers already belong to, including Astro Loyalty for pet and feed stores, Orgill FanBuilder and Benjamin Moore Contractor Rewards, so the punch and the reward land on the same ticket as the sale.
Does Rundoo work with QuickBooks?
Yes. Rundoo syncs to QuickBooks Online automatically, and for QuickBooks Desktop it exports on a schedule that you import into QuickBooks. Either way you keep QuickBooks for your accounting and payroll.
How long does the switch take?
Most stores take about one month. You have four planning meetings, one a week, and then training and go-live. Some stores have done it in a week, and large multi-location rollouts take longer.
