Tim Blair has a store Gene Autry would love. Located in the middle of West Texas, Blair's Western Wear is in a rustic, rough and ready setting with everything you need to wear while working a ranch or merely playing Ponderosa.
The size and color matrix (grid) makes it easy to see the quantity on hand for all items in a group without having to run back to the stock room. They imported the entire catalog of suppliers like Wrangler so Blair's got up and running, with all the descriptions and prices, pronto.
Duplicate identifiers are required for apparel. They use the same number for the many sizes, colors, and styles of the same item.
The clerks scan the bar code label of each item and the correct information, including price, size, color and style, is recalled instantly. The total sale, including tax, is updated as each item is scanned so the complete ticket is always on display.
Purchase orders are created quickly and Blair's can make changes before sending the order to Wrangler.
