RRA - Reading Room Assistant - is an easy to use software program specifically designed to efficiently manage the operations of Christian Science Reading Rooms.  You can record Sales of any item from the Christian Science Publishing Society’s catalog, manage inventory by recording transactions related to stock acquired or sold, and maintain accurate Stock on Hand count. It can record items moved to the Lending Library of the Church, as well as sales of Miscellaneous items (basket sales) such as used books or magazines released from the lending library. It can also handle special Discounts given, Donations received at the Reading Room, as well as sales or inventory Returns. If you collect sales tax, the program also calculates and records the sales tax, and offers easy reports to determine the amount payable to your local government for any given period.

This software relieves the RR Librarian from many of the time-consuming, error-prone manual tasks.  Reconciling sales, cash on hand, and bank deposits becomes easy.  Keeping track of sales revenue and purchase expenses is easy and accurate. You can get a firm grip on inventory - which items you have, which ones are selling, what to re-order, what is the stock on hand at any given time, the value of stock on hand etc.

From a management perspective: this program offers a powerful tool to better utilize the resources of the Church in running the Reading Room, to contain costs, and to get accurate, relevant, and timely information about costs, revenues, sales, stock on hand etc. Using this information, the Church can take steps to ensure that the Reading Room becomes an asset for the Church, promotes a revenue stream, and most importantly, as a result, can offer the teachings of Mary Baker Eddy to a wider group of people.

You can get, easily and quickly, the accurate, current status of your stock on hand, its value, the total purchase expense and total sales revenue for any given period. Also, you can get reports detailing what was sold, the quantity and dollar figures.  You can determine what you have, what is being sold, what is sitting idle on the shelves, and how best to decide what to order from the Publishing Society.  This software eliminates much of the manual effort involved in stock verification, inventory control and efficient re-ordering, easily and accurately.

Yes, you can regularly edit or delete existing items, as well as add new ones, to keep the product catalog current.  We recommend updating the product catalog each time the Publishing Society sends you an updated catalog or informs you of individual new items being introduced.
