How Bullock Supply Modernized Their Store With J3 Point-of-Sale

A POS System Built By Hardware People, For Hardware People

After 115 years in business, Bullock Supply knew it was time for a point-of-sale upgrade. Their old system slowed down daily operations, made inventory difficult to manage, and left them with little to no customer support. What they needed was a POS solution built with hardware and supply stores in mind — and that’s exactly what they found with J3 POS from Ganymede Technologies.

Born decades ago inside a family-run hardware store, J3 POS is designed to match the real workflow of supply and hardware operations. For Bullock Supply, that made all the difference.

Solving Everyday Challenges at the Front Counter

“Our previous system was cumbersome to work with and we had very little customer support,” says Frank Stoltmann of Bullock Supply.

“That’s where J3 POS really helps us out. They’ve built special inventory processes into the software that can be tailored to our requirements. It’s saved us time and money on several fronts.”

Because J3 POS was created by people who truly understand the hardware industry, the system fits seamlessly into the daily rhythm of the store.

“Fred’s family was in the hardware business for 100 years, so this system was born out of the hardware industry,” Frank explains.

“Understanding the requirements for a supply store and designing the POS so it’s easy to use at the front counter speeds up our operation, makes us more informed when we’re talking to customers, and gives us the ability to track inventory.”

Fast Setup, Strong Training, and Ongoing Support

Bullock Supply had a tight window for installation — and J3 POS delivered.

“We had a very short window for install and J3 POS went above and beyond to get it done,” Frank says.

“We had good solid training right from the start. Its quick lookup buttons let us click on a department and find an item very easily. And as we’ve gotten more familiar with the system, constant communication with J3 POS staff makes our utilization even easier.”

This level of ongoing support was a major upgrade from their previous system.

Tailored for Growth Today and Tomorrow

For Bullock Supply, J3 POS isn’t just a replacement — it’s a long-term solution.

“J3 POS software is tailored to our growth needs,” Frank adds.
“It’s what we need for today, tomorrow, and well into the future.”

What Bullock Supply Loves Most About J3 POS

Along with reliability and ease of use, the team highlighted several standout advantages:

• “We can grow into the software versus modifying ourselves to fit a software.”

• “Grade A support — Everything about what you guys do is top notch.”

• “Having a server on site gives us a level of confidence… we can see it, touch it, feel it.”
