The bestseller you can't see
Loose lures in a price group share one price and one barcode, so the POS system (till) sees the bin, never the lure. Scan each lure at the counter, and LureScan shows you which one sold.
In 44 seconds, our founder Cordarro Gordon shows the price group problem: one barcode for a whole bin of loose lures, so which ones sell the most, and when should the price change?

The problem: one price group, one barcode
Walk into most tackle shops and you'll find loose lures in a bin. Customers dig in and grab what they need. It's a good way to sell soft plastics, and it keeps the counter simple.
Behind the counter, every lure in that bin sits in one price group. One price. One SKU. One barcode. We wrote about how that works in our post on loose lures in price groups.
Why the bestseller stays hidden
When a lure from the bin sells, the POS system records the group. The POS system knows the bin sold, not which lure. We covered that in what the POS system actually sees.
So two simple questions get hard to answer. Which lures in the group are selling the most? And when should the price change?
The model customers keep coming back for looks the same in the POS system as the one nobody picks up. It stays hidden in the bin. The same goes for floats and bobbers with no barcode of their own.
How LureScan works: scan, identify, ring it up
LureScan works at the counter, with the POS system you already have.
- Scan the lure at the counter.
- LureScan identifies the exact lure. You get its price and the barcode your POS system already has.
- Ring it up in your POS system as usual.
No new SKUs. And every lure you scan shows which one sold, so the bestseller stops hiding in the bin and you know what to reorder. More on that in one barcode, which lure? and I know what my lures cost.
We're also building an admin portal that will show which lures sell by time of day and time of year. It's coming, and we'll share it here when it's ready.
Who LureScan is for
LureScan is made for tackle shops that sell loose lures in price groups, Swedish shops first.
If your bins of soft plastics run on one barcode each, and you've wondered which lure in the group really sells, we'd like to hear how you handle it today.
