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.”

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.

How can you be so sure your data is safe with MerchantOS?

  • We store a copy of your backups in an off site safe.

We stay up at night and work on the weekends making sure your data stays safe and accessible so you don’t have to. You can think of MerchantOS a professional IT department for about the same cost as your cell phone.

MerchantOS is the easiest, most powerful, and most cost effective system for owners of multiple retail locations. Employees at each shop can see the inventory of the other shops in real time.

We work hard to keep your business! Owners of multiple retail locations pay $100/mo for the first location and $75/mo for each additional location.
