I was able to resurrect these screen shots of our system from 2004. I think you’ll agree we’ve come along way since then! Note: We were called “BikeSoft” back then instead of MerchantOS. This original system was used in just one store by our intrepid beta tester (er first customer?).

We got our Mac upgraded to the latest version of OSX Leopard to test out MerchantOS. As expected everything works perfectly on Leopard. To our delight, Leopard makes hardware much easier than before to setup.
For many retailers Mac is a great option over PCs due to shop aesthetics and the user friendliness of the system. […]
I’ve added two more video lessons and created a page that will list all video lessons. The two new videos are: ‘Opening the register’, and ‘A basic sale’. We’ll be adding more advanced lessons as time goes on.
List of MerchantOS Video Lessons
I just made a video on how to do a layaway with a deposit. It goes through starting the layaway, entering a deposit amount, paying for the deposit, and then completing the layaway and applying the deposit.

Over the past 7 days MerchantOS processed $1.2 million in sales. That’s a lot of gifts!
Happy holidays and best wishes for the new year!

The screens will also help you eliminate the need for a mouse and soon the keyboard. If your interested, give us a call at 866 554 2453.

In related statistical news, you (our customers) are now processing sales through MerchantOS at a rate of over $50 Million a year (or $3/second). Keep up the good […]

Come visit us at Interbike 2007 in Las Vegas and see the brand new point of sale interface.

We’ve been listening to your feedback and we have some big improvements in the pipeline. They include streamlined layaways, special […]
