We could toot our own horns, but we dont have to. See what our customers have to say about us.
“I choose ARS as my Inventory Management System because it offers a great combination of features, performance, and value. When it comes to comparing total cost of ownership, ARS is clearly a winner.”

“We have been extremely pleased with our ARS POS & Inventory System. Everything runs smoothly and we rarely, if ever, need support. Plus we don’t miss paying a monthly support fee.”

“We weren’t looking for a new POS system when I saw ARS at a sporting good buying market. However, after we looked at the system's abilities and our requirements, we knew we had to make a change. The modules offered by ARS are a great match for our store – including the serial tracking and firearms sale logs. Each member of our (18 person) staff uses the system – which is an indication of how easy it is to use. The inventory system is powerful, yet flexible: reports are easy to build and customize. The POS portion of the system is stable – even on our busiest weekends! We run up to 5 registers at a time without issues, and the interface for the customer is fast and seamless.”

“Don and I started with ARS in November of 2002. Their approach to training worked out extremely well for us. When we purchased our second store, January of 2006, we put ARS into that store also. They worked with the data from the store’s previous system to retain all the information possible. The ARS system is user friendly and they provide great customer service. For years, United’s ARS users have worked together to help each other with ideas on how to use the system – ARS listens and are always looking to make improvements to meet our needs. ARS understands that each store uses their system a little differently and works hard to make their system flexible to meet our individual needs. Yes, I’m one of their cheerleaders, because ARS is something to cheer about!”

“ARS has the ‘heat’ when it comes to a computer program for the sporting goods industry. It will track anything I put in there. It automatically tells you what you have sold, what your profit margins are, and how much you have on hand. I don’t even have to walk around the store, I sit at my desk with the printout and in three, or four hours I’m ready to place a $10,000 order.”

“I personally have reduced my time committed to ordering from about ten hours a week to less than one hour. The auto replenish is great for seasonal items. It will adjust order multiples up before the season arrives and lower them at the end of the selling period. Retail price changes are quick and easy. The account receivable invoices and end of month statements are easy for our customers and us. This results in faster payments to us and improved cash flow.”

“Buying the system is like paying a manager one time. He's always here and never out sick.
The electronic bound book feature makes entering, selling and handling repairs a cinch. One of the features I like best is when we receive items into the store, we have instant recognition of the item and how much we paid for it the last time we ordered it. This feature allows us to make price changes as required and keep our GMP were we want it to be. We also accept credit cards through the ARS System, works like a charm as we swipe the credit / debit cards through the keyboard.”
I would recommend ARS to you whole heartedly and if you would like to give me call about our experience I would be glad to chat with you.”
