Switching to Rundoo
Switch from VMX
Customize Rundoo to your garden center, so your growth never waits on someone else.
One system
Grow your garden center.
More than just a POS, Rundoo gives you the insights to optimize and grow your business.
Why stores switch
Three reasons stores make the move.
An online store that stays in sync
Your web store sells from the same inventory as your counter, and orders land in Rundoo as they come in.
Find any quote you sent
Every quote is saved on the customer who asked for it, so anyone at any location can pull it up months later.
Run your store from anywhere
Check reports, orders and inventory from home, the sales floor, or your phone.
Feature comparison
What you keep, and what changes.
| Rundoo | VMX |
|---|---|
| Inventory across every location — one catalog, stock and transfers | Inventory across every location, and staff toggle between stores |
| Fast checkout — search, scan and tender on one screen | Fast checkout at the register |
| Card surcharges — set them yourself, by card type or by order | Card surcharges, set by VMX on request |
| Clock in and clock out — hours by staff member and location | Clock in and clock out |
| QuickBooks sync — sales, payments, and receivables post automatically | QuickBooks integration |
| Sell online — an online store included in your subscription, selling from the inventory you already run Or connect the storefront you already run. |
Online orders arrive on a nightly pull, and they do not post back to the counter |
| Quotes saved to the customer — findable months later, at any location | Quotes go out by email and are not saved against the customer |
| Follow-ups tracked — tags, notes and touchpoints on the customer record | Follow-ups live in a spreadsheet |
| An app for your phone — the store in your pocket, for staff and for customers | Desktop only |
| Loyalty points — set what a point earns and what it is worth, redeem for a discount at the register, and leave out the customers and products that should not earn them | No loyalty program |
| Price tiers — tier the customer once, at the counter and online | A new price tier is a request, and a wait |
| Customers pay online — see the balance and the aging, pay from a phone | No customer portal, so the store answers by phone |
| Settings you change yourself — surcharges, tiers and rules, the same day | Changes are a request, and they take months |
Data migration
What we bring over from VMX
The process
How switching works
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.
We migrate your data
Our data team handles the migration, pulling whatever exists from VMX into Rundoo. Your implementation manager walks you through reviewing it, and we fine-tune from there.
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.
