MerchantOS Helps Catch A Thief

by Justin Laing on March 29th, 2007.

MerchantOS is built to help retailers overcome real world challenges. One of our customers recently wrote us this story about how MerchantOS helped them catch a dishonest employee.

“I don’t want to think of my employees as thieves! Well, my idealistic fantasy was demolished when the opening count came up way short last Monday and all the scrutiny we gave the situation made it abundantly clear that the money had been stolen.”

“Thanks for designing a system with reality in mind.”

MerchantOS and PHP Point of Sale

PHP Point of Sale is an open source project created by Chris Muench. I had the good fortune of talking to Chris about web based point of sale and open source projects. In this post I compare MerchantOS to PHP Point of Sale and discuss open source projects.
