The object is to install an automatic inventory system in a small clothing store. The system will consist of a Point-of-sale system to keep track of items in the store and to inventory those items and automatically reorder the items of highest demand. It will be done on a modest budget of $5,000 dollars or less. The clothing store owner stated that she was falling behind with some of her duties trying to keep track of her inventory, order forms, and reordering the clothing that sales the best. She said that she would like to find a Point-Of-Sale System that would do everything for her so she would have more time to do other things and would not cost her an arm and a leg. So I told her I would help her find one within her budget.

In a point-of-sale system, you have a monitor, keyboard, receipt printer, cash drawer, and a barcode scanner. I went online to look for these items and found a Self-Starter Retail POS System that cost $1,999.00 on the website of posnation.com. The package it includes:
