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.
