We love being able to streamline the inventory. Because we had a lot of extra SKUs before, we’d have to split up individual items and boxes. Now, we can have them all combined into one.

FAQs
How Cigars POS handles tobacco inventory management

Is inventory management included in Cigars POS, or is it an add-on?

All subscription tiers of Cigars POS come with our advanced inventory management features and unlimited SKUs.

How does Cigars POS track item variants like carton-pack or individual cigars?

Unlike many systems that track item variants separately, Cigars POS tracks all item variants in a single inventory entry. This eliminates the need to manage multiple SKUs for the same item and makes it easier to track sales and stock levels.

Product variants include (but are not limited to):

  • Carton vs. pack
  • Multiple UPCs (e.g., when different cigar manufacturers use different packaging for the same items)
  • Boxes vs. individual units

Prices can be set separately for each variant. When the UPC is scanned at checkout, the cashier simply confirms which item variant is being sold, and the system rings up the correct item price and adjusts the inventory counts automatically.

 

Can Cigars POS handle alcohol and lotto sales?

Yes, in addition to tobacco and standard products (accessories, etc.), Cigars POS can also manage lottery tickets and liquor sales.

Does the system support scan data reporting for manufacturers like Philip Morris or RJR?

Yes, Cigars POS can generate scan data reports directly from the system without a third-party add-on. 

How do I transfer my old inventory data to Cigars POS?

When upgrading from an old system, Cigars POS assigns an onboarding specialist who helps migrate your inventory list and create a clean inventory list. They also help you set up your vendors. You won’t have to close your business while we migrate your system. 

What automation and AI features are included in Cigar POS’ inventory management system?

Cigars POS’ main inventory automations are auto PO, auto invoicing, and auto ranking. Auto PO uses optical character recognition (OCR) and AI to scan a PDF or paper invoice. Auto invoicing allows you to review your purchase order, confirm the items in the shipment are correct, and then update the inventory.

Auto ranking is unique to Cigars POS and assigns every item in your inventory a ranking from A to D based on sales volume. A items are your bestsellers, and D items have no recent sales. These rankings show up in reports and in other parts of the system, helping you avoid overordering slow-moving items or indicating which items should be discounted or phased out.

Does Cigars POS allow me to update item prices in batches?

Yes! Cigars POS lets you do bulk updates for item pricing. You can also print new shelf or item labels in the same workflow for quick pricing updates. 

Does Cigars POS let you configure tax rates for different items?

Yes. Cigars POS supports sales tax based on product type, location, and any other custom factors you need. This ensures you can stay compliant with local tobacco pricing laws and regulations.
