During the selection process of point of sale solutions, decision-makers were looking at price, flexibility, integration with Sage MAS 90 and the ability to work with inventory control, as well as, ease of use. Point of Sale Professional was a perfect match.

"In some cases the users, our volunteers, may not have any computer experience at all. We needed to implement a system that would be easy to learn and easy to use," states Kevin Klonder, Senior Controller, Lake Forest Hospital, "The software will automatically launch the screen for the next action, prompting you to the next step."

Quick and easy entry was the focus of Master Developers as they were writing Point of Sale Professional. A user only needs to hit the keyboard twice to enter and complete a transaction. Yet the software includes all the features you would expect from any Sage MAS 90 module: Advanced Lookup Engines, Customer and Inventory Inquiries, Sales Order access and Transaction History Inquiry. Point of Sale Professional even includes features some users wouldn’t expect, like the ability to view a cashier’s transactions and cash drawer balances while their shift is in progress.

Jill Lane, the Manager of Lake Forest Hospital’s Gift Shop is the biggest fan of Point of Sale Professional. Sales journals, management reports and Point of Sale Professional’s security features help Jill keep a close eye on the activity in her store.

Point of Sale Professional is designed to handle the fast-paced needs of the retail environment and installs like any other Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 module. Optional integration to the Accounts Receivable, Inventory Management, Bank Reconciliation and Sales Order modules are handled in option maintenance. Point of Sale Professional interfaces with the credit card processing software already setup in Sage MAS 90 or Sage MAS 200 preferences. During the implementation process and beyond, your Sage Authorized Reseller is backed by an outstanding Support Staff, who are committed to your success. What was the overall experience with Point of Sale Professional? "The implementation process went great," says Kevin Klonder, "This was an enormous change for us, moving from DOS to Windows, and our reseller was there for us every step of the way, after hours, on weekends."
