Looking For Easy To Use Point of Sale Software For Your Store?

Spend your time with your customers, not managing your POS systems.

MerchantOS is a point of sale and inventory control system. It keeps track of all your sales, customers, inventory, purchase orders, work orders, and more. It’s got all the features you’ll need to manage your retail business packaged in an easy to use and intuitive design.

What Makes MerchantOS Different From Other Point of Sale Systems?

It’s a web based POS system! That means you access it through your web browser from anywhere you have internet access. You don’t worry about software upgrades, data backups, viruses, hard drive crashes or any other problems you are used to with normal point of sale software.

Annoying things you’ll never have to do again once you switch to MerchantOS:

  1. Make backups.
  2. Perform updates to your POS software.
  3. Worry about damage from viruses.
  4. Try to recover your data after a hardware failure.
  5. Manage the day-to-day security of your data.
  6. Close your store or disrupt your business to take inventory.

According to a study conducted by a national retailers association, “someday most computer programs and data [won't] reside on personal computers. Instead people will have Internet access and pay subscription fees to store their data and programs elsewhere.”

“A very easy interface for associates to learn. If there is ever anything that needs to be fixed or any problems that we have, MerchantOS is great. We always call to ask questions and MerchantOS is able to fix it.”Jessica from Pet Place Plus, Wyoming

3 Facts you absolutely must know before buying a POS system:

  1. The single most important feature of a point of sale is being easy to use.
  2. 31% of computer users have lost all of their files to events beyond their control.
  3. 60% of businesses that lose their data will shut down within 6 months of the disaster.

“We are having good results with your service. Getting up and running was easier than we expected. Your system works for a fast-paced retail grocery. We appreciate the many positives of running our cash register over the internet. It gives us flexibility in our hardware – we can use a laptop to enter data anywhere on the sales floor. And our bookkeeper and system administrator can access the system offsite to gather data and resolve issues. Thanks Merchant OS!”Fred Pierre, Secretary, Kent Natural Foods Co-op, Ohio
