QuickBooks Point of Sale

Designed to replace the traditional cash register, QuickBooks Point of Sale retail management software gives the small retailer more control over his business with features that help provide improved customer service and enhanced inventory management. In addition, better integration with QuickBooks financial software enables retailers to connect front-office tasks, such as credit card transactions and employee time cards, with their back-office business finances more efficiently.

The software automatically tracks customer purchase history, providing insight into spending habits and supporting more accurate targeted marketing efforts.

A new, customizable loyalty program lets you automatically track and reward your best customers. You can set reward thresholds and discounts based on customer spending figures and set up special discounts for customers spending a certain dollar amount. SRP: $799 for Basic; $1,149 for Pro.
