Counterman Pro is a Windows Point of Sale / Dealer Management Software developed by Santa Maria Software for the motorcycle and PowerSports industries. Its original DOS version dates back to 1988, while the Windows version was released in 2002. It is positioned not as a general-purpose retail SaaS product, but as a vertical business system for dealerships, parts sales, and repair service shops.
Based on the available information, Counterman Pro is centered on “real-time” inventory and margin management. It covers POS invoicing, cash sales, special orders, customer purchase history, automatic inventory adjustments, service repair orders, warranty work orders, accounts receivable, purchase orders, suggested reordering, customizable reports, part-number cross-referencing, and related accessory lookup. The system also emphasizes supplier price books; current customers can use more than 100 price books that are updated regularly. On the accounting side, it can generate IIF files importable into QuickBooks, allowing daily sales to be imported into the appropriate accounts. Accounts receivable can remain in Counterman, or be imported into QuickBooks for aging management.
The vendor offers a single-user version, as well as a server version supporting up to 25 workstations. The pricing model is software rental, with monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual payment options. Annual payment offers a discount compared with monthly payment, and no contract is required. The rental includes 24/7 technical support, program upgrades, and regular price book updates. No specific prices are listed publicly; users are prompted to download a pricing template or contact the vendor. For trials, a 30-day fully functional demo is available, either as a download or by mailed CD. After purchase, the vendor can help retain data entered during the trial period.
The strengths are its strong industry fit, with inventory, POS, repairs, purchasing, customer history, and price books forming a fairly complete closed loop. Its 24/7 support, free price book updates, and fully functional trial are also friendly to small shops. The drawbacks are also clear: it is based on Visual FoxPro and a local Windows/LAN model, making it closer to traditional desktop software than modern cloud SaaS. Public materials do not explain role permissions, data encryption, compliance certifications, APIs, mobile access, or cloud deployment capabilities. Specific pricing is also not transparent.
It is better suited to North American motorcycle/PowerSports retail and repair shops, especially businesses that need supplier price books, special orders, repair work orders, and local multi-workstation checkout. If a company requires cloud-based multi-store operations, open APIs, modern permission auditing, or localized deployment in China, it should evaluate the product carefully. Access from mainland China is not covered in the available information, so its status is unknown.
