Marketing Solutions for Hardware Stores

A great storefront is no longer enough to stay ahead of the competition and grow sales.

FasTrax Marketing Solutions make it a breeze to streamline your checkout with advanced technology that tracks your inventory as well as your suppliers. With the ability to capture customer information, contacting your loyal shoppers for marketing purposes has never been easier.

Customer relationship management is the most important aspect of running a successful hardware store. Retailers thrive on loyal customers.

Our POS system allows you to track customers, create promotions, manage a loyalty points system, and generate digital coupons. Fast and simple hardware store POS with powerful processing eliminates stressful lines and enhances a positive shopping experience for your customers. Go even further by adding Digital Signage to your hardware store’s décor. FasTrax Digital Signage solutions can transform your store into an interactive shopping experience where customers are easily informed of the special deals, discounts, and even freebies that you’re promoting. You can add our customer-facing Uplift screen at the checkout counter to enhance the digital interaction and increase the chances of your customers deciding to buy even more products at the last minute. Our Uplift program will alert your customers to discounts and deals on items that are relevant, or add-ons, to products they’re about to purchase. Encouraging additional sales throughout the checkout experience is a great way to increase revenue.

Our POS System, which includes the Uplift, comes with a built-in Loyalty Rewards Program to keep your customers coming back to your hardware store because they are eager to act on time-sensitive deals and discounts. Sell more of the products and merchandise your customers love. Make smarter decisions, and grow your business with ease using our point of sale system that is designed to support your marketing efforts. Turn your sales personnel into sales superstars by equipping them with POS Uplift scripts that reinforce the digital promotional marketing campaign you sent out via the app. Engage customers with an incentive program, offer relevant products, generate additional revenue, and strategically stock your shelves, all while preventing loss with expiring goods.

Powerful & Simple FasTrax POS

Pos Logo

All hardware stores can benefit from a point of sale system, even small ones. A trustworthy POS system automates virtually every aspect of your business operations, going way beyond functions at the checkout register like scanning items and printing receipts. With FasTrax POS, you can track inventory management in real-time, see item lists of every product both bought and sold, and reorder items when stocks get low. Our workflow is simplified. Never again will your employees have to check the sales floor or the back room to tell a customer if an item is available. Inventory information will be at their fingertips and yours with our user-friendly, digital interface. FasTrax POS can also help your hardware store manage employees. Schedule and track shift times with ease, and always ensure proper staffing levels behind the registers, on the sales floor, and in the back storage rooms. Our reporting analytics make it easy to see how your business is doing in every area. Sales figures, profitability, purchasing fulfillment, and other reports are a click away, making it easy to gain a snapshot view of how your hardware store is doing financially, which will help you make better business decisions.

The POS system also includes permission-controlled buttons, easy age-verification capabilities, and a built-in time clock with a biometric fingerprint scanner, and when you get FasTrax POS the features will not end there. This solution comes with a fully-customizable touch screen interface, which guarantees ease and fun when training new sales personnel and cashiers.  

Powerful hardware inventory management is only the beginning of our point of sale system. Put your stock management on autopilot with our POS that makes it easy to sell anything you want. When you choose FasTrax POS, you’re choosing freedom. Our point of sale system is fully-customizable, which is the reason that it’s the leading software solution in the hardware industry.

Engaging & Educational Digital Signage

digital signage

Interactive digital signage can make all the difference in the world when it comes to selling hardware products. The aesthetics of your hardware store is your first chance to make a first impression with your customers and as a result, shoppers will either be inclined to stay or eager to go. Providing a smooth, positive shopping experience can be greatly improved with interactive displays, in-store navigation, digital shelves, and savvy product information screens that rotate and entice customers to purchase items they might not have considered. One benefit of shopping online is that customers can experience real-time visibility of items and an ability to compare products. With FasTrax Digital Signage, you can provide your in-store customers with the same shopping tools and convenience, and even point them towards the aisle. Electronic shelf labels can display stock information and help shoppers narrow down what they’re looking for before they need a sales associate. 

Offer a truly engaging and effective interactive digital experience in your hardware store with FasTrax Digital Signage. Our solution includes real-time connection to external data, a variety of interactive options, eye-catching designs, deep analytics of user interactions, ease of use, and a smooth deployment that’s fun to create and program. Digital Signage can also be used to improve the way you market and communicate with your customers as soon as they set foot in your hardware store. Our software is cloud-based so you never lose your work as you design ads and make changes. When deployed, you can edit and update your digital screens from any computer and any time. You can pre-schedule your messages and other notifications to play on specific dates, set recurring schedules, and even run specials with an expiration date.

With FasTrax Digital Signage, you can easily and quickly create live and engaging content layouts. Using the drag-and-drop widgets on our pre-designed templates, you can add media slideshows, videos, social media streams, custom scrolling text, website integrations, and more! Our proprietary design software, AdPro, makes it easy for the user to edit templates, design original displays, and make changes. You can even schedule promotions and advertisements weeks, months, or even years in advance. Simply design, save, schedule, and forget about it!

TESTIMONIALS

  • We’re pretty much all in with whatever FasTrax Solutions develops. We have 73 stores and we’ve used nearly every FasTrax Solution there is from FasTraxPOS to Warehouse to Uplifts to their Digital Signage. That’s the trust level we have with FasTrax. We’re very happy with everything their software has to offer

  • FasTrax Solutions has been an integral part of our business for the last 10+ years. I have tested and researched hundreds of POS systems. FasTraxPOS is the easiest system I've ever used! We save countless hours and dollars on training. Our employees love using the system. I've even had a competitor call to see what we're using.

  • What used to take 3 to 4 employees an average of 12 hours per day to count each store (we have 4) now only takes 3 employees an average of 4-5 hours with Fastrax, and with much better accuracy, utilizing 3 handheld wireless scanners with the FastraxPOS software... their software is reliable and efficient.
