Hey everyone,

Switching POS systems - worth the hassle?

I'm running a store in Oakland, CA and looking for advice. We currently have been looking at different options. Any recommendations or experiences to share?

Thanks in advance!

Check out the inventory tracking setting, that might help.

This is why we switched to Omnivore. No regrets.

We had the same issue. What worked for us was reconfiguring the network settings
