POS Nation review

POS Nation sells retail POS systems configured by industry, with separate products for liquor stores, grocery, smoke shops, convenience stores and cell phone retailers. Starter, from $49 a month billed annually, covers reporting, a real-time dashboard, a mobile back office, purchase orders, discounts, mobile label printing, age verification and a dual pricing module for passing card fees to customers. Growth adds employee time tracking, A to D auto-ranking of products, mix and match discounts, customer loyalty, intelligent ordering and SMS reports. Premium adds multi-site transfers, SMS marketing and Pointy integration, which shows in-store inventory in Google search results. The monthly fee includes 24/7 support and unlimited training, and there are no setup fees. Growth and Premium prices are shown only after you fill in a form, and none of the plans lists ecommerce, so stores that sell online will need a separate tool.
