Shoe Store POS System with Size Matrix Inventory
The POS system built for shoe stores,
not adapted for them.
Size, width, and color in one matrix. Over 10 million UPCs pre-loaded. Stores, shoe trucks, and your online store on one inventory. WinSale has done one thing since 1984 — run shoe stores.
One style. Forty sizes. Three widths.
Generic retail POS treats every size as a separate product. A single boot style can become 60+ SKUs to create, count, and reorder by hand. That's where shoe stores lose time and money.
SKU sprawl
Every size-width-color combination entered as its own item. Reports scatter one style across dozens of lines.
Broken size runs
You can't see that you're out of 10½ EE until a customer asks. Reordering is guesswork from a flat list.
Manual product entry
Typing UPCs and descriptions off purchase orders, season after season, for every vendor you carry.
See every size run at a glance.
WinSale tracks each style as one item with a size, width, and color grid — the way your buyers already think. Spot holes in a size run before they cost you a sale.
- Native size × width × color matrix per style
- Red-line reorder points per size
- Dynamic sales grading shows what to reorder, discount, or drop

Scan it in. Skip the typing.
Every subscription includes WinSale's UPC database — over 10 million barcodes from the footwear and safetywear brands you carry, kept current with daily vendor updates. Check if your vendors are listed.

- Missing a vendor? We add it free, usually within 24–48 hours

“This system was so easy for my employees to catch on to — other systems took five times as long.”

“The ease of pulling reports specific to what I'm looking for is fantastic — it takes a lot of muddled information and makes it easy to apply to our business.”
