Yes, the POS is designed to handle one-of-a-kind antique items by assigning each piece its own unique inventory record with a dedicated SKU, condition notes, acquisition details, and custom attributes such as period, style, and maker. When that item sells, it is automatically removed from active inventory so it can never be double-sold, giving you a clean audit trail from acquisition to final sale. This level of individual item tracking is essential for antique stores where no two pieces are interchangeable.

Yes, consignment sales are fully supported, allowing you to record each consignor's name, agreed commission rate, and the items they have placed with you directly within the system. When a consigned piece sells, the platform automatically calculates the consignor payout and the store's commission, so reconciliation is straightforward and dispute-free. You can generate consignor statements at any time, making it easy to manage ongoing relationships with multiple estate sellers or private collectors simultaneously.

Yes, digital documents such as provenance certificates, appraisal letters, auction house receipts, and photographs can be attached directly to an item's inventory record. This means that when a buyer or appraiser asks for supporting documentation, your staff can pull up the complete file instantly from the same interface used to process the sale. Keeping provenance records tied to the item rather than stored in separate folders reduces the risk of misplaced paperwork and strengthens buyer confidence in high-value pieces.
