Community

A point of sale its stores co-own.

Most POS software is handed down: a vendor ships what they think you need, and you live with it. ThriftFlow is built the other way around — the stores on it decide what gets built next, out in the open.

The loop

How a good idea becomes a shipped feature.

No sales calls to sit through, no support ticket that vanishes. The path from a cashier's frustration to a live feature is short, visible, and shared by every store.

1

You speak up

Tap Send Feedback right on the register — an idea, a problem, or something you love. Ten seconds, no email, no login.

2

Stores vote

Requests land on your store's board and across the community. Anyone can +1. The most-wanted rise with a transparent priority score.

3

We build it

Top-scored requests move onto the public roadmap — Under Review → Planned → Building → Testing → Shipped — where you can follow along.

Everyone gets it

Because ThriftFlow is hosted, a shipped feature turns on for every store at once. No upgrade to schedule, nothing to re-install.

Why it's built this way

The people at the register know what the register needs.

A developer guessing at thrift workflows will miss the thousand small things a pricer, cashier, or ReStore manager runs into every day. So we stopped guessing. The feature list is written by the floor — and because it's the same hosted system everywhere, one store's good idea becomes every store's new feature.

  • Requests come with context: who asked, what they were doing, how many stores want it
  • Duplicate asks cluster together, so a common need rises fast
  • Nothing disappears into a black box — you can watch its status change
A real request's journey

A pricer wishes she could reprint the last tag. She taps Send Feedback. Three other stores had wished the same — the votes stack up, the score climbs, and it moves to Planned, then Shipped. She sees the button appear on her own register a couple weeks later, no update required.

Fair by design

The loudest voice doesn't win — the clearest need does.

Every request earns a priority score from five honest inputs, so what ships next reflects real value to real stores, not just who emailed the most.

  • Impact — how much friction it removes on the floor
  • Demand — how many stores are asking
  • Revenue — whether it helps stores earn or keep money
  • Checkout speed — seconds saved at the register
  • Strategic fit — how it aligns with where ThriftFlow is going

Early-access ReStores

Get in early, shape the core.

ThriftFlow is built with Habitat ReStores and thrift stores first. Early stores don't just use the software — their day-to-day needs become the backbone everyone else inherits. If you join now, your workflows help define the standard.

  • Your requests carry extra weight while the core is taking shape
  • A direct line to the team building it
  • Features you asked for, live for every store that follows
Recently shipped from store feedback

The Reporting Hub redesign, reorder-to-purchase-order, discount exclusions, and the one-screen Home launcher all came out of early-store requests — built, then turned on everywhere.

Out in the open

A roadmap anyone can read.

You never have to wonder whether your idea landed. The public roadmap shows exactly what's under review, planned, being built, in testing, and shipped — updated as things move. Transparency is the whole point.

  • A live public board, not a promise buried in a sales deck
  • Dates are directional and honest — a guide, never a guarantee
  • Shipped features are visible to prospects and customers alike
