The POS That Keeps Your Counter Moving

Ring up parts and machines on one screen, and take cards, ACH, or a Text-2-Pay link through Gravity Payments. Shopify and Aurora Parts orders land in the same POS, and the counter sees stock at every store before the customer walks away.

For a new hire to get up and running at RJ's Outdoor Power
Why it matters

Every sale starts somewhere different. They all finish in one POS.

A walk-in at the counter, a call from a jobsite, a webstore order overnight, a machine deal on the lot. When each one runs through a different screen, someone retypes it and someone waits. In Flyntlok, every sale runs through one POS, on the same live stock and customer records.

“Flyntlok is the least friction point that we deal with.”

Bob Jennings, Owner, RJ's Outdoor Power, on bringing on new hires

7:30 am at the parts counter

Five contractors are in line before the coffee's done, and every one of them is in a hurry.

Counter speed

Ring it up in seconds. Keep the line moving.

Flyntlok's POS was built for a busy parts counter. Scan parts like a grocery checkout, keep your hands on the keyboard, and see supersessions, alternates, and stock at your other stores without leaving the sale.

  • Scan Mode checkout

    Scan a part and it's on the Sales Order, like a grocery checkout. Serial numbers scan at checkout too.

  • Hotkeys, not mouse clicks

    Hotkeys and tab flows keep counter staff on the keyboard, from search to payment.

  • Supersessions and alternates

    Search shows what replaced an old number and lists the alternates, so the right part goes out the first time.

  • Stock at every store

    A flag on the quantity shows when another store has more, and you can start a transfer from the sale.

  • The customer's usual parts

    One click adds the parts this customer buys most, without a search.

  • Price and margin on every line

    Customer discounts apply on their own, margin shows in dollars and percent, and a Loss flag appears if a line sells below cost.

8:20 am on the phone

A contractor needs his order run before his driver picks it up, and he can't come in to pay.

Payments by GravityLive

Get paid on the sale. Card, ACH, or a text.

Flyntlok takes payments through Gravity Payments, right on the Sales Order. Customers tap or swipe at the counter, use a saved card, pay by ACH, or pay from a Text-2-Pay link on their phone. The payment lands on the sale, so nobody types the amount twice.

Flyntlok Sales Order on a tablet with the Shopify sync panel and Shopify reports
“Having inventory and pricing automatically updated because my people are already doing that work in Flyntlok is what I wanted.”

Paul Sullivan, Owner, Alan's Lawn & Garden Center

9:45 am in the front office

Three webstore orders came in overnight, and one of them has to ship today.

Shopify and Aurora Parts

Your webstore sells from the same shelf as the counter.

Shopify orders land in the Flyntlok POS ready to fill, and Aurora Parts marketplace orders import on their own. Price, weight, and stock sync to your Shopify store from Flyntlok, so you don't keep a second catalog or sell a part that already went out the door.

  • Shopify orders land in the POS

    Online orders come in with the customer's details attached, ready to pick, ship, and close.

  • Price, weight, and stock sync

    Flyntlok sends price, weight, and quantity on hand to Shopify on its own.

  • Sell machines online

    List models and individual serialized machines, and the listing updates when the machine sells.

  • Shipping syncs back

    Tracking goes back to Shopify, and orders update to Pickup or Delivered.

  • Aurora Parts orders, imported

    Marketplace orders come into Flyntlok at regular intervals, so nobody retypes them.

  • Sparks for account customers

    Customers order parts and check on their orders in the Sparks portal, and Sparks orders come in like any other sale.

“The speed at which you get what you're looking for, or are able to get the answer, is greatly improved in all aspects.”

Cody Savell, Director of Operations, TraxPlus, on getting answers faster

11:15 am on the sales lot

A customer wants the track loader on the lot, with his old one as a trade. He wants a number today.

Whole goods sales

Quote it, trade it, sign it, on the same screen.

Machines sell on the same Sales Order as parts. Quote one model or several, take the trade with its payoff, request the signature, and put the machine on hold so it can't be sold twice.

  • Quotes that become the sale

    Quote one model or several, then swap the model for the real machine when the customer says yes.

  • Trade-ins with payoffs

    Add the trade on the Sales Order, link it to the machine you sold them before, and enter the payoff.

  • Signatures by email

    Send a signature request from the POS, and capture card signatures on the reader.

  • No machine sold twice

    A warning shows when a machine is on another sale, and you can put sold machines On Hold for 7 days in one step.

  • Margin when you need it

    Salespeople with permission see the margin right on the Sell Machines window.

  • Registrations and state forms

    Send STIHL and Toro registrations with the sale's details filled in, and fill state forms like Utah's TC-466 from the Sales Order.

1:30 pm at the front counter

A contractor wants to charge a big order to his account. Is he over his limit?

Charge accounts and accounting

Know the account before you ring it up.

The counter sees the customer's balance, limit, and any hold at the moment of sale, so a charge doesn't fail halfway through. Every invoice, payment, and credit then posts to QuickBooks Online or Sage Intacct as its own document.

  • Balance on the payment screen

    The customer's balance sits at the top of the payment window, and the invoice flashes a warning when they're over their limit.

  • Account Holds

    Stop charge-to-account without shutting off the customer, with the reason shown at the counter.

  • Deposits, Available or Reserved

    See which deposit money is free to use and which is held for a Work Order.

  • One payment, several orders

    Take a single payment that covers several of a customer's Sales Orders.

  • Paid now with IBS

    With Interstate Billing Service (IBS), you get paid at the time of sale while IBS collects on the customer's terms.

  • Posting you can check

    The QuickBooks Online Manager shows what posted for every document, with links back to the sale.

3:00 pm at the receiving dock

The shipment came in short, and two customers are waiting on special orders.

Special orders

Promise the part. Then keep the promise.

Special orders don't get lost between the counter and the dock. Flyntlok tracks them from the sale to the shelf, fills customer orders before stock, and lets the customer know when everything is in.

Special order or drop ship

Order any line for the customer, or drop ship it straight from your vendor with the Purchase Order made for you.

Special Order Priority

Mark an order urgent and it moves to the top of the outstanding queue, ahead of older orders.

Customers filled first

Smart Receive fills special orders and part requests ahead of stock lines, so a short shipment shorts your shelf, not your customer.

Told when it's in

The customer can get one text or email once every part on the order has arrived.

Machine Moves

Sold it? Get it on the truck.

Moves schedules machine pickups, deliveries, and transfers between stores in the same system you sell from. Drivers see their trips on a phone, and the paperwork goes with the machine.

  • Pickups, deliveries, and transfers

    Schedule every machine move in one place, from customer deliveries to store-to-store transfers.

  • Truckload Scheduler

    Group moves onto one truck, and Flyntlok flags the truckload when an address changes.

  • My Trips for drivers

    Drivers see their trips and notes on a phone, wherever they are.

  • Photos at pickup and drop-off

    Drivers add photos when the machine is picked up and when it's delivered.

  • Bill of lading, printed or emailed

    Print the bill of lading, or email the move document in one click.

  • Moves made for you

    A pickup or delivery scheduled on a Work Order creates the move on its own.

Before you buy

Five questions to ask any DMS vendor about the point of sale.

Most DMS vendors can ring up a part. These five questions show whether the POS saves your counter time, or just records the sale.

1

When a customer pays by card, text, or ACH, where does the payment land?

If payments run through a separate terminal or portal, someone keys the amount twice and matches it up later.

On the Sales Order. Applying the payment can process the order in the same step.

2

Do webstore orders come into the same POS as the counter?

A second order screen means retyped orders and parts sold online that already left the shelf.

Yes. Shopify and Aurora Parts orders land in Flyntlok, and price, weight, and stock sync to Shopify on their own.

3

When a shipment comes in short, who gets the parts first?

If shelf stock fills first, the customer who ordered and paid waits.

Your customers. Smart Receive fills special orders and part requests ahead of stock lines.

4

Can we schedule the machine delivery in the same system?

Deliveries planned on a whiteboard get missed, doubled up, or sent out without paperwork.

Yes. Moves schedules pickups, deliveries, and transfers, with a phone view for drivers.

5

How often does the POS get better, and can we read what changed?

A counter that changes once a year can't keep up with how your customers buy and pay.

Every release. The last 34 in a row improved the POS, each with public release notes.

Customer story
White's Tractor, Bobcat dealer

Four stores. One parts lookup.

White's Tractor ran parts and service, rental, and sales on three systems that didn't talk to each other. Now one parts lookup shows quantities, bin locations, sales history, and availability at all four Bobcat stores, and a daily courier gets parts to customers faster.

“Flyntlok gives us visibility into our parts departments across all four locations, so our daily courier can get parts into customers' hands, and into our shops, faster.”

Who's behind it

Built by a former dealer. Tested at a real counter.

Flyntlok was designed inside Craig Taylor Equipment, an Alaska dealership, so the POS grew up at a real parts counter. When founder Sean McLaughlin was covering for an employee over Christmas, his wife Laura, who had never worked at the dealership, completed a sale on Flyntlok without any training.

POS FAQ

Common questions about Flyntlok's point of sale.

Straight answers on payments, online orders, special orders, taxes, and deliveries.

Is the POS built into Flyntlok?

Yes. The point of sale is part of Flyntlok, not an add-on. Sales Orders, quotes, and payments run on the same customer, stock, and accounting records the rest of your dealership uses.

How can customers pay?

Through Gravity Payments, customers can tap, chip, or swipe a card at the counter, use a saved card, pay by ACH, or pay from a Text-2-Pay link on their phone. You can also take cash or a check, or charge the sale to the customer's account.

What is Text-2-Pay?

Text-2-Pay texts the customer a link to pay their bill by card from their phone. The payment lands on the Sales Order, and it can process the order in the same step. Flyntlok dealers have used it since 2021.

Does Flyntlok work with Shopify?

Yes. Shopify orders come into the Flyntlok POS ready to fill, and price, weight, and stock sync to your Shopify store on their own. You can list parts, models, and individual machines, and tracking and Pickup or Delivered status sync back to Shopify.

Can the counter see stock at other locations?

Yes. Item search flags parts on hand at your other stores, and you can start a transfer from the Sales Order. On-order quantities leave out parts already committed to another Sales Order.

How does Flyntlok handle special orders?

Order any line for the customer, or drop ship it straight from your vendor. Special Order Priority moves urgent orders to the top of the queue, Smart Receive fills customer orders before shelf stock, and the customer can get one text or email once everything has arrived.

Can I sell machines on the POS?

Yes. Machines and models sell on the same Sales Order as parts. Quote one model or several, take trade-ins with payoffs, send signature requests by email, and put sold machines On Hold so no one else sells them.

How does the POS connect to accounting?

Invoices, payments, and credits post to QuickBooks Online or Sage Intacct as their own documents. Card payments and deposits are approved on the Z Detail report first, and the QuickBooks Online Manager shows the result for every document, with links back to the sale.

How does Flyntlok handle sales tax?

Tax rules follow the customer, the store location, the ship-to address, and the product type. Dealers who want more can connect Avalara AvaTax to calculate tax on each sale.

Can Flyntlok schedule machine deliveries?

Yes. Moves schedules machine pickups, deliveries, and transfers between stores. The Truckload Scheduler groups moves onto one truck, drivers see their trips on a phone and add photos at pickup and drop-off, and the bill of lading prints or emails in one click.
