Since MINT operates in Microsoft's totally open environment, any of the inventory, customer, or vendor data can be used by other Windows based software. For instance, you could send emails to all your customers who bought a specific item using MINT's customer tracking and MS Office's email options. When adding new items, you have the option to either enter your cost or skip it to calculate it from the retail and margin-this way, both book and other types of inventory are easily entered.
Profitability is calculated using real, average costs.
The flexibility of this system means that while it has been designed as a generic inventory control system, it also works very well for books. Specialty retailers will benefit from the detailed inventory records and customer tracking. There are dozens of users online and many more in process of upgrading from old DOS or proprietary systems. MINT Systems has been selling and implementing inventory control systems since 1983 and has used these years of experience and knowledge to create a better system in the industry standard business environment. MINT is now a Microsoft Solutions provider and all programmers and support staff are Windows certified.
