MerchantOS makes retail software easy!

We believe that when software is quick and easy to use, you will use it more and reap a higher return on your investment. Our mission is to provide you with software that is easy to use, painless to setup and maintain, and provides a great return on your investment.

Our Humble Beginnings…

Back in 2003 Ivan Stanojevic recruited Justin Laing to help him create a Point-Of-Sale and Inventory Management system for independent bicycle retailers. After about six months of development MerchantOS was up and running in Slough’s bike shop in San Jose, CA. The first web based retail system was born.
By the end of 2005 Ivan and Justin knew they had created something pretty cool. They were running the daily operations of over 20 bicycle retailers throughout the United States. Ivan and Justin realized the system they had created was now ready for a wider audience. In the summer of 2006 MerchantOS launched as the next generation retail software service.
MerchantOS is now focused on providing retailers with software that makes their lives easier. With new enhancements and customers every month the future is bright for our young company.
