I got a demo up and running of my system I showed screenshots of last week. I am curious to see what people think of it, both praise and critiques.

You will have to enter the password twice for both the repair side and store side. Feel free to add pc's, do point of sales, etc. The credit card function is disabled.
A little background...
It has been a WIP for over 4 years now. At the shop I use it, 2-3 techs work on about 12-14 computers simultaneously. Every computer that comes in the door gets a checked in and the PC Id number assigned is written on a mailing address label pre-printed with our logo and phone number. All items in our store are also priced with a 2 line tagger with the top line being the stock id number that is assigned by the point of sale system.
The system manages store inventory, provides a Point of Sale, and tracking of work done to a PC. It also provides a printout for the customer which they love, and it saves me from having to explain everything cause as the techs record the work done, canned responses get automatically added to the printout of common things.
Another thing you'll notice is the "Ready to Sell" status, what we do with this is every new or used system we sell gets checked into the repair system and is priced and put into this status until is sells.
You'll also notice the touchscreen interface which is used for quickly recording actions. We bought a cheap asus all-in-one touchscreen pc for like $400 that we use for this. Also if the repair system sits idle for too long it reverts to the touchscreen view which shows customer passwords in big print so that it can be seen across the repair shop.
A couple other of oddities that are in the system, to keep my techs from forgetting or slacking, you cannot switch status to ready for pickup, until you've added the charges to a pc workorder, and you cannot print a printable copy until you have enters some basic notes for the customer.
Over all here I am trying to see if there is enough interest for me to put the work into making this system saleable. I am not looking to get rich here, just make enough money to make it worth my time.
