Nursery and Green Industry Testimonial - Briggs Nursery

Throughout its 50 years in business, Briggs Nursery and Owner Gary Briggs have seen much of their competition come and go, while the business has remained at a steady constant. With big plans for future growth, Briggs will need a business management solution designed to grow with his business. He knows he's found that with CounterPoint. Briggs Nursery currently utilizes the CounterPoint system for quick, accurate inventory control, enhanced reporting capabilities, easy customization to meet their unique green industry retailer needs, weatherproof label printing, and a wealth of other beneficial features.

"The most important feature of CounterPoint is its ease of use," Briggs says. "With the touch screens and simple POS set up, we have decreased our training time and increased our checkout efficiency. We also use it for our back office data entry and maintenance and accounting procedures, allowing us to train our staff on one system and then be able to work in multiple capacities within CounterPoint."

"CounterPoint has allowed us to be more profitable by improving our purchasing with detailed historical sales information, as well as control our margins by identifying poor return items and limit inventory losses with controlled receiving procedures," Briggs says. "I highly recommend Radiant and CounterPoint to the green industry because they understand the specific needs in the Nursery, Greenhouse, Landscaping and Garden Center business."
