Close enough isn't a price

"It's in the bin, so it's the bin price." I get why. It's quick.

The bin can't tell its lures apart

Loose lures have no barcode of their own, and many look alike. So they all get one price.

That's not pricing. That's the bin shrugging.

A bin price is a price nobody chose for this lure. It was chosen for the bin.

Close enough at the counter

A customer holds up a loose lure and asks the price. The answer is the bin's. And when it sells, the POS system (till) knows the bin sold, not which lure.

Close enough at the counter turns into close enough in your numbers too. You end up reordering the bin, not the lure that's actually selling.

Scan the lure instead

1. Scan the lure at the counter.
2. You get its price and the barcode your POS system already has.
3. Ring it up at the POS system you already have.

That scan is the trick. LureScan works as an extension of your POS system, so every scan tells you which lure sold, not just which bin. You start to see which lures sell and when. More of what moves, less of what sits.

The lures are already in the app with barcodes assigned, so staff just scan. No new SKUs, no new hardware. Coming next: an admin portal showing which lures sell by time of day and time of year.
