About SimpleConsign
SimpleConsign’s point of sale (POS) and inventory management software is the system of choice for the resale industry. With SimpleConsign, you can make transactions easy for customers and staff, manage multiple types of inventory (consignment, buy outright, vendor-owned, store-owned), run custom reports to gain valuable business insights, and build loyalty with your suppliers and consignors.
SimpleConsign’s POS can process sales, purchases, and consignments in a single transaction, as well as supporting voids, returns, partial payments, and credit card processing for online purchases, and the ability to apply discounts to single items or whole transactions. Our software allows users to manage consignors in a single screen, with inventories, account activity, payout histories, and account balances all presented in one view. Consignor inventories and store inventories can be tracked separately, and searched using keywords including item names, brands, categories, and colors.
SimpleConsign offers a consignor portal, through which consignors can access their accounts in real time, and view their recent items, expiring items, donations, and returned items. Users can customize the consignor portal with their own logo and URL, and can also charge a monthly fee to consignors for portal access.
SimpleConsign is accessible anytime and anywhere users have an Internet connection. For new users, SimpleConsign offers live training, and customer support is always included.

Pros
Very easy to use! There is a lot of flexibility within the system.
Cons
I realize it’s a state issue but I wish the layaway deposit and/or the whole layaway sale would show on the dashboard.

Simple Consign Review
Reviewed on 2018/08/10
Pros
The ability to split consignor payouts between in-store credit and cash payout (for which I have different splits). For example, my consignors receive 40% of their item sales if they take their credit as cash, or 50% of their item sales if they use their credit for in-store purchases. SimpleConsign is the only software system on the market (that I've found so far) that makes it easy for a customer to use some of their credit in-store and then take the remainder as cash.
I also like the specificity of the reports feature, and how easy reports are to customize.
Cons
I wish the software linked with QuickBooks Online.
I wish there was a way to view Consignor Credit AND Store Credit (from returns and gift card balances) on the same screen. As it is, it is hard to explain to customers and train employees why we don't always see their store credit when checking their consignor credit.
I wish Store Credit was listed when consignors login to the online portal to check their account.
I wish that the status changed from Active to Sold when store-owned inventory quantity reached zero. As it stands, the status remains Active while the quantity changes to zero.
I wish SimpleConsign integrated with Gravity Payments.

Pros
Consignors/Vendors can log in and add inventory, check their sales, monitor activity. Customer support is excellent.
Cons
Reporting is complicated and I'm not sure that I am prepared to survive an audit. In the end, I cancelled 10+ days prior to our billing cycle and was charged for an extra month I didn't need. They discounted it to a lower plan. i didnt plan on spending. Of course this is disclosed in their paperwork and within their rights, but it sits wrong with me.

Saving Time! A business takes time to run properly and SimpleConsign saves TIME. I just filed my monthly sales tax report and it took 2 minutes to get the information off of SimpleConsign and nearly 40 minutes to file with the state. The State needs to take heed to what SimpleConsign is doing with their software. Our Consignors love the online access to their sales as well. Happy Consignors means happy business.
Pros
Record keeping by far is the big advantage to SimpleConsign. When the end of the pay period comes, it is a 5 minute process to run the payments. Simple Consign is always working on the system to improve the process and the latest change is more evidence of that. I have kept the Consignor records manually in the past and this system is worth every penny. Monthly reports make filings easy. And our Consignors love the online access to their sales
Cons
I can't find much about SimpleConsign that I don't like. We do not use all aspects of the software, but there is little that I do not like.
Response from Traxia
Thanks Lawrence for taking the time to review SimpleConsign. We're so glad we've made it easier to manage Park Avenue Marketplace. The Ohio state motto of "With God all things are possible" obviously doesn't include speedy tax filings.
Thanks for being on Team Traxia!
