It's a real honor to be talking with a QuickBooks consultant, but I want to know, why is QuickBook producing a linear POS system, where everyone wants a non-linear (graphical oriented) system? It makes touch screen impossible.

That is my only problem with QuickBook. It's priced much around the same as ChikPOS, so I go for ChikPOS because of its price.

The stability of both softwares are very good however.

POS is actually the point of Sale.This term i even get confused every time during my studies of Technology Management at College.
This term is defined in the books and other sources.

In your other post, you mentioned that a friend was using QuickBooks POS, but wasn't really happy with it. I hear that from a lot of merchants. With QB POS, you get a VERY expensive POS that's fully integrated with your accounting (QB) system. But the downside is that you can never change CC processors. You're locked into QB's processing, and the rates tend to be high, especially if you do considerable volume. If you go with a non-integrated solution (ie, run QB seperately from your POS), you'd just enter your daily sales totals into your QB program, or whatever software you use to manage the books. You won't have the ability to seamlessly integrate your invoicing and receivables with your accounting system, but unless you have a lot of customers who pay on account, that shouldn't matter. Most retail stores who maintain a simple inventory and sell it to customers (paying with cash or credit card) will find a non-integrated system far less expensive and more flexibile than QB.

I read that you are in middle-GA. I'm in Albany, and I preparing to head to FL for the weekend. If you'll reply with an email address, or just call me with it, I'd like to send you some information about a POS system that I think would be perfect for you. If I miss you this morning, I can email it from the beach. Have a good weekend!

I am a retail gift store and desperately need an inventory/pos system. I've been researching and there are so many out there and the price range runs the rainbow. Any suggestions on what other retail gift type stores are using?
