The 90-second sale: how Mattress4Ever left paper behind

Mattress4Ever is a locally owned mattress store in Garland, Texas. It filled out paper forms by hand until it moved to Ledger Systems. Here is what changed, in the owner's words and in the store's own screens.

Questions

Is this a real store?

Yes. Mattress4Ever is a real, locally owned store in Garland, Texas, and the first store to run on Ledger Systems. The owner wrote the quote on this page, and the screenshots are the store's own screens with customer names hidden.

Where do the time figures come from?

From the store: a sale used to take about 3 minutes just to write the receipt, and now takes about 1 minute 30 seconds for the whole sale. The hours per week figure is our estimate, with the reasoning shown on the page.

How much does Ledger Systems cost?

$99/month per store, with the first month free. No setup fee, no per-user charge and no contract. A card is needed at signup but nothing is charged for 30 days, and you can cancel before the trial ends. Multi-location groups and franchises get a discount on every store.

Do I need special hardware?

No. Ledger Systems runs in a web browser on the phone, tablet or computer you already have, with nothing to install. Receipts print from any printer your device can print to.

Does it take card payments?

Ledger records how a customer paid (cash, card, finance or a split) and what is still owed. It isn’t a card processor, so you keep using the card terminal you already have and there are no payment-processing fees from us.

Is it cloud based, and can I use it any time?

Yes. Ledger Systems is cloud based, so it is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from any device with a browser. Your sales, catalog and deliveries are stored online and stay in sync on every device that is signed in: the counter computer, the owner's phone and the driver's phone all show the same store.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Sales, catalog and orders can be exported from Settings at any time, so your records are never locked in.
