Are you looking for a Consignment Sale System?

We know its a big decision....

We specialize in helping Sale Owners make the transition from manual processes to automated ones. Obviously, you're here because a) you think there's a better way and b) you want to make sure you make the right choice.

We know that implementing an automated system takes time and work on your side. We also know that we're not the only company that offers systems and software that manage Consignment Sales. You'll find that we do things a bit differently - and we've designed the implementation process to maximize your valuable time so making the OTC system is as painless as possible.

We're not a subscription service or franchise. You pay one flat, lifetime fee for the software. The fee includes all sofware updates and support for as long as you use it. And YOU OWN YOUR DATA.... that means that before, during and after the sale you have all the sale data in a database on your PC or laptop. Access it at any time to run reports or do analysis of seller trends, popular categories of items, similarites and differences from sale to sale.

Finally, we look at you and your business as being part of our family... and we're committed to your success. We'll go to extraordinary lengths to make sure you're happy with your purchase, both before and after the sale.

In case you haven't seen a list of advantages of moving from manual methods to automated ones here's a short list of some of the advantages of using an automated system:

You can run checks and reports as soon as you close the sale.
- Because you've used a computerized system at checkout, as soon as you start selling you can run your checks and receipts for your sellers. We have clients that are complete with the check/report process within an hour of finalizing their percentage/fee list by seller, and have checks ready to hand their sorters.
You have a record of seller performance from one sale to the next
You can locate items in the inventory to replace a lost tags
Because the system uses barcodes instead of a keypad, you can eliminate key entry error
You can provide "real time" reporting of sales to your sellers using their web accounts.
You can easily do email marketing to any group of contacts (sellers, volunteers, buyers) and keep record of what you sent and when.

So lets look at the OTC system a bit closer....

We know you're busy....

First, we understand that your successful at what you do - that's the reason you ended up here. We also know that the most intensive time for learning and using our system will be at the sale. You have other things to worry about.... so we take care of it.

That's why we try to make our part of this as simple for you as possible. We walk you through the process, doing most if the initial set-up work for you. Through phone calls and Webex's, you'll get an ovreview understanding of the OTC system. We work at your pace, using the time you have available. For the first sale, we like to be there with you... taking care of the network setup, conducting operator training and showing you how to use the system during the sale. Although the OTC fully documented and is designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use, we know that the security of having experts there to get you through can give you the peace of mind you need.

We offer 24 / 7 phone and email support for your sellers for the first 2 sales, so you'll never have a technical question that isnt' answered quickly and effectively.

We view our improving the OTC program as a journey not a destination

We thought long and hard about making a commitment to provide software and services to the Consignment Sale industry. We've been successful in the technology hardware / software / service business for a long time mostly selliing barcode, POS and other AIDC products. Luckily, we've been blessed to be able to predict changes in that market. If there's one uncompromising "rule" we've seen, that rule is you need to have "change" built into your plans.

We're commited to making the OTC system the "industry leader". If we can convince you that our rule above is true, then by definition we're not selling a finished product that does everything you may need as defined by a snapshot taken today. We recognise that your requirements and the technology that can support them change fast. If we can't support your requirements or introduct you to new technolgies that mean less time / more customers / more profits, someone else will.

You're invited on the journey. You can be sure as the "new guy", we'll work twice as hard for you than anyone else you can find. Our system might not be able to do what you want to do today, but we're really good at understanding what you want to do, and translating that into a feature set in our software.

We're incorporating refinements of existing features all the time to meet our customer's needs. Here's a partial list of major new features that are in work:

Dual use of the OTC as both a seasonal venued event system and a "brick and motar" consignment shop point-of-sale system
Seamless integration of OTC data into Intuit and Peachtree accounting products
Sales management functions of OTCW on mobile phones
Seler only option to OTCW
Flex-Check payment processing integration

If you want to be able to have your "special" process built into your software, that's what we do.

If you're a non-profit consignment shop or venued seasonal sale.....

We believe in giving back to the community. If you're a non-profit we'd especially like to hear from you. As a non-profit we'd like to discuss becoming one of our family.... at little or no cost. We're especially interested in church sales or those associated with inner city ministries.

Give us a call or send us an email to get the process started!
