Switching to Rundoo

Switch from Ventus

Ventus is a general-purpose platform that stores adapt to fit retail, so paint and coatings shops carry the weight of configuring it around their workflow. Rundoo is the AI-first POS and ERP built specifically for paint, hardware, and supply stores, with products ready for color and tinting, contractor pricing, and integrated payments in one place.

Why stores switch

What stores switching from Ventus love

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

Built for paint and supply, not configured into it. Color, tinting-ready products, contractor pricing, and house accounts are first-class, so the system fits your counter on day one.

One full system. Point of sale, inventory, payments, customer accounts, the CRM, and the General Ledger live together, so reporting reconciles instead of living in separate tools.

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, instead of a do-it-yourself configuration project.
