QuickBooks Point of Sale software gives you the inventory and sales tools to help run your store more profitably along with customer management features to keep customers coming back. Point of Sale quickly rings up sales, like a cash register, but also tracks complete inventory, sales and customer information to give you better control over your business. With every sale, your inventory is automatically adjusted so you always know where you stand-what's in stock, what needs reordering. At the end of the day you can quickly and easily transfer sales data into QuickBooks Accounting software, saving time and helping to reduce manual bookkeeping errors.

QuickBooks POS can:

  • Manage inventory in real time to know what's selling, what's not and what to restock
  • Capture customer data to generate mailings, special offers and loyalty programs
  • Improve profits with instant reports on sales, customers, and inventory trends
  • Keep growing your business by adding lanes, stores and even a web store
