About Quickbooks Point of Sale
QuickBooks Point of Sale is a Windows-based POS software that helps businesses in apparel, sporting goods, furnishings, and other retail sectors, streamline operations related to inventory tracking, workflow management, discounts, and more on a centralized platform. It allows staff members to track purchase, work, and sales orders and automatically update inventory levels.
QuickBooks Point of Sale enables supervisors to configure and distribute special pricing, discounts, gift cards, promos, and store credits, facilitating customer loyalty and retention. Managers can track employee hours and set up sales commissions according to business requirements. Administrators can configure user roles and permissions, restricting specific users from accessing, editing, or deleting information. It also lets employees automatically capture shipping details and create mailing lists and shipping labels.
QuickBooks Point of Sale allows users to import customer files and vendor information in multiple file formats, including Excel and Word. Team leaders can generate reports to gain insight into store-specific inventory data, sales information, and customer purchase behavior.

Point of Sale Made Easier
Reviewed on 26/3/2019
Pros
Quickbooks Point of Sale is simple and easy to use. Nothing is far out of reach. Sales are a breeze and pulling reports is very easy with the improved user interface. The cloud-centric features are very nice too, offering seamless integration across devices and platforms. There is a POS for every industry in the retail arena.
Cons
It's kind of cumbersome to setup initially. I'd recommend having that part handled by an expert. Apart form that, I can't say anything else bad about it.

Pros
This software is full-featured and really does a great job of keeping track of everything going on in your store. From inventory to sales, the information is there and easy to access.
Cons
It can be a little tough to get information out in the form I want. Overall the reporting is great but I sometimes like to look at details that are cumbersome to get to.

We have used QB POS Multi store for a couple years.
Reviewed on 19/4/2016
Pros
Ease of ringing up customers. It's very simple to start ringing people up. We didn't have to train our staff more than a couple minutes.
Cons
1. Tech support is horrible. There is a reason this is number one!!!!!!
2. If you have more than one computer at a location there are issues if you don't have a wired internet which brought us down for hours and hours and hours over weeks without anyone diagnosing this to be the issue. Customer service just kept logging in and changing the IP address without explaining what they were doing. I finally got a good tech support person that helped me figure it out and how to fix it on my own. (Do NOT use wireless internet. You MUST use hard wire to computer.)
3. We have inventory items that keep reappearing after deleting them. We then tried to merge them and they still keep reappearing. Tech support couldn't remove them either. This really messes up our reports.
4. We had a day that at the end of the day QB restarted and lost ALL the transactions for the day. We were never able to get the information back and it also took a weeks worth of transactions with it. Tech support never retrieved the information nor could explain what happened.
5. There is only 2 levels of departments. You have a "work around" for this by allowing you to customize a field, but you have to write the department name in each time. If you forget the exact word you used such as "snack" instead of "snacks" it won't run adequate reports. I can't imagine many places that don't need more departments. For example, I have "Tours" and "Merchandise" as my main departments. I want to have "Snacks" "Apparel" and even further under snacks I'd like to have "Cookies" "Chips", etc.
6. Sending and receiving files from Intuit server does not always go through. This would be ok if there were an error message, but there isn't. It just didn't send. The only way to be sure this didn't happen when running a report on headquarters is to check to see if there is information each day. I have more than one location so this is tedious. If I find a day that is missing I have to have the staff manually go in and resend data.
7. I'm sure I have MUCH more, but that was the ones I could think of off the top of my head and QB POS has taken up enough of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I can find a better solution I would before you could blink your eyes. I am constantly looking and shopping around.
