TackleIMS Reviews & Product Details

TackleIMS is inventory, point of sale and books software for independent fishing tackle and bait shops in the United States, including shops that also sell apparel. It is built for how a tackle shop's stock actually behaves. Bait is received in dated lots and sold by weight at the till, from the lot that expires first. Lots past their date are skipped, and the lots list opens on the bait expiring soonest. Each rod and reel is tracked by serial number from receiving to the sale, so a warranty claim can name the exact unit. State fishing licenses can be rung up at the till but are kept out of stock value, margin and count sheets, because the shop never owned them. Tackle variants are listed as the maker makes them. Apparel is a size-by-color grid, ordered and counted by SKU. Reorder points work location by location and leave out-of-season lines to run down instead of suggesting a restock in the wrong month. Stock that can be moved from the back room is listed before anything is bought. Purchase orders, receiving, landed cost, shelf labels, stock counts and transfers between locations are included. A supplier's dealer file or a Square item export can be imported to fill or refresh the catalog. The till takes cash, and card payments through a Stripe reader (S700, S710 or WisePOS E) on the shop's own Stripe account, so Stripe pays the shop directly. Returns go back to the card. Counter staff never see cost or margin. Daily close and month-end close include sign-off, sales tax return figures, year-end cost of goods, and a monthly journal file in QuickBooks import layout for the bookkeeper to load. Automatic posting into QuickBooks Online is planned, not available today. There is one plan: $199 a month per shop, month to month, cancel any time. Every register, location and member of staff is included, with no setup fee. Support is by email and from inside the app, Monday to Friday, 7:00 to 17:00 Pacific, excluding United States federal holidays. There is no phone support, no free plan and no self-serve trial. A shop owner can book a setup call from the Contact page and receive a private link to the live demo.
