Microsoft point of sale software review

What clinched the title is the indisputable fact that Imonggo can be used totally free of charge. Imonggo, on the other hand, is absolutely free. Imonggo is also the easiest POS software out there. It consists of two software components: one is a point-of-sale screen, similar to a register, where cashiers ring up customer transactions; the other is a store-management program for logging inventory, tracking employee hours, and creating purchase orders.

The Microsoft program has the superior interface, with large onscreen buttons designed for touch-screen monitors--an important consideration for retailers who need to quickly train cashiers.

Installing Microsoft Point of Sale takes a long time.

Launch the Point of Sale Manager and run the Store Setup wizard, which prompts you to enter basic information about your business, such as employee data, your sales-tax rate, and an employee ID and password for the store owner. The wizard is a snap to follow, and you can use separate wizards to import company accounting data, such as personnel and inventory details, from either Excel or QuickBooks.
