A QuickBooks Case Study
By Nature Gallery, owned by Rick Rolater, is a specialty retailer in Colorado and Wyoming selling minerals, petrified wood and fossils — about 85,000 unique items ranging from $5 trinkets to $100,000 showpieces. The business struggled with complex, high‑volume inventory, daily shipments and semi‑annual trade‑show buying, plus slow manual data entry and the need for tight financial and customer controls.
By implementing QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions with QuickBooks Point of Sale (synchronized nightly) and customized reports, the gallery gained real‑time inventory and vendor sales visibility, faster remote inventory entry, and reliable customer and financial controls. The result: dramatically reduced time to process new inventory, more efficient trade‑show purchasing with “ideal” POs, and the capabilities of a much pricier retail system at an affordable cost.
