About Us
The Problems We Solve
Most wholesale businesses come to us running some mix of an aging POS, QuickBooks, and a stack of spreadsheets. The symptoms look like this:
Pricing mistakes at the counter
A contractor gets retail price, or a walk-in gets contractor price. Margins leak and nobody notices until month end.
Inventory that never matches the shelf
The system says 40, the warehouse says 12, and the customer is standing there waiting.
Contractors stuck in line at 6:30 AM
Your busiest customers want to grab material, sign, and go. Slow lookups cost you their loyalty.
Month-end statement headaches
Chasing invoices, applying payments, and reconciling house accounts by hand takes days it shouldn’t.
Fast Counter Sales Built for Cash and Carry
Your front counter is retail speed with wholesale complexity. Counterpoint software handles both sides of that equation in a single transaction screen.
Instant lookup by SKU, description, vendor part number, or the customer’s own purchase history (“give me what I got last Tuesday”).
Charge to account or pay now. Cash, card, or charge to the customer’s house account with credit limits enforced automatically.
Tax handled correctly, every time. Tax-exempt and resale customers ring up correctly without the cashier touching a setting.
Will-call and delivery tickets. Sell it now, stage it for pickup, or schedule delivery, all from the same order.
Quote to order to invoice in one flow. Turn a phone quote into an order, then into an invoice, without retyping anything.

Reporting

The Right Price for Every Customer, Automatically
Wholesale businesses sell the same product at different prices depending on customer type, volume, contract terms, or project. Counterpoint software automates pricing so your staff can quote and sell with confidence.
Wholesale Price Levels – Assign pricing by customer group: contractor, dealer, distributor, government, nonprofit, or retail walk-in.
Contract Pricing – Negotiated customer pricing applies automatically at the counter and in order entry, so agreements are protected.
Quantity Breaks –Reward larger purchases with automatic volume pricing by quantity, case pack, bundle, or order size.
Cost-Plus Pricing –Keep margins healthy as vendor costs, freight, and market prices move.
House Accounts, Credit Limits, and Statements Without the Spreadsheets
This is where wholesale businesses outgrow retail point of sale products. Counterpoint software includes real accounts receivable tools built into the same system your counter runs on.
- Customer charge accounts with credit limits, terms, and automatic holds when an account goes past due.
- Monthly statements and aging reports generated from the system, not rebuilt by hand.
- Payments on account taken right at the counter or in the back office.
- Complete purchase history per customer, so any employee can answer “what did we sell them and at what price” in seconds.
- Accounting integration with QuickBooks Online and Sage 100 to keep your books in sync.
Inventory Accuracy Across the Yard, Warehouse, and Store
- Multi-location inventory with transfers, receiving, and physical counts.
- Bin locations so anyone can find any item without asking the one person who knows.
- Lot-controlled and serialized inventory for recalls, warranties, and traceability.
- Unit conversions. Buy by the pallet, truckload, or case; sell by the each, foot, or bag. The system does the math.
- Low-stock alerts and automated replenishment based on real sales history, not gut feel.
- Mobile warehouse tools for receiving, counting, and picking on a handheld device. Learn more.
Purchasing & Vendors. Tax & Compliance
Purchasing That Prevents Shortages and Overstock
Create purchase orders, compare vendor costs, monitor open POs and lead times, and use purchasing history to buy the right quantities at the right time. Backorders stay visible from the moment a customer orders to the day the truck arrives.
Tax Settings Built for B2B Sales
Sell to taxable, resale, tax-exempt, government, nonprofit, and out-of-state customers with confidence.
- Tax-exempt customer setup with resale certificate tracking
- Local and multi-jurisdiction tax rates
- Clean tax reporting for your accountant
Know Which Customers, Vendors, and Products Are Making You Money
Every Counterpoint system we sell comes bundled with DataIQ, the POS Highway AI dashboard for analytics and forecasting. It turns your data into plain answers to the questions that matter in wholesale and distribution:
- Which accounts are buying less this quarter, before they’re gone for good?
- Which vendors and categories are eroding your margin?
- What’s sitting in the warehouse too long, and what keeps running out?
- What should you order for next month, based on real demand forecasting instead of gut feel?
- How is each location, department, and salesperson really performing?
Executive dashboards, inventory alerts, margin warnings, and demand forecasts arrive automatically, so you manage from insight instead of instinct.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Counterpoint software handle both walk-in cash sales and invoiced house accounts?
Yes. The same counter screen takes cash, card, or charge-to-account payments. House accounts include credit limits, terms, statements, and aging, so cash and carry sales and traditional invoiced wholesale orders live in one system.
Does it support tax-exempt and resale customers?
Yes. Tax-exempt status and resale certificates are stored on the customer record, so exempt customers ring up correctly automatically, and reporting stays clean for your accountant.
Can it sell in different units than we buy?
Yes. Unit conversions let you purchase by the pallet, case, or truckload and sell by the each, foot, bag, or any unit you define. Inventory and costs stay accurate in both directions.
Does Counterpoint software integrate with QuickBooks or Sage 100?
Yes. POS Highway offers integrations with QuickBooks Online and Sage 100, along with Shopify for eCommerce and other popular business tools.
Can it manage multiple locations and warehouses?
Yes. Multi-location inventory, transfers, centralized purchasing, and location-level reporting are core features, and managed Azure cloud hosting gives every location access to the same real-time data.
What kind of pricing can it handle for contractors and dealers?
Customer price levels, negotiated contract pricing, quantity breaks, and cost-plus pricing all apply automatically at the point of sale, so every customer gets their correct price without staff doing math.
We're on an older POS now. How hard is it to switch?
POS Highway handles the full migration: data conversion, system setup, hardware, and staff training. Most teams are comfortable within the first week, and we support you before, during, and after go-live.
Is the DataIQ dashboard included, or an extra cost?
DataIQ is bundled with every Counterpoint system we sell. The dashboard, analytics, and demand forecasting are part of the package from day one, so you don’t need a separate reporting tool.
