Skate By Numbers: Creating a Custom Point of Sale and Inventory Management App

I've got more nerdness coming at you in another edition of Skate by Numbers. I'm in the middle of writing a complete Inventory Management, Point of Sale, and fully integrated Webstore app for The Boardr right now. I did something similar at my last job, but this time around, I get to implement all the things I learned running online and shop retail for the last 12 years. We'll be packing this up for you to use in your own shop when I'm done with it all. Maybe we'll be using this whole thing for our own shop soon, too. All of us here at The Boardr miss retail. More on that later.

Some of the early steps and features to create in a large system like this are the processes of creating a product, adding SKU's to it, shooting the photos for it, sizing them, uploading them, then checking the inventory into stock through preparing a purchase order. Sounds like a ton of work, right? Nah, I think we've made it pretty simple and quick. In this video I cover the whole process where I'll show you how we've made it super easy to get a product from UPS's delivery truck to your website with the quickness. Pardon my super ugly interface design, draft store-front, and pretty ugly product photos. I'll have that all cleaned up later.
