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.

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.

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.
