We have been waiting for a new cloud based system that can do everything CRE can do but they don't yet exist. Yes CRE looks a little dated but that is because it is. It was feature rich and powerful years ago and not much has changed. So what does CRE do better or different than the flashy cloud based systems on the market today.

Is there such a thing as a Free Lunch? Or a Free POS as far as that goes

Image
  Well you probably can't really get a free lunch but you can get a free POS system, no really! Years ago the model was very different from today. It used to be that you got your POS system from a POS dealer and you paid for it, you got your credit card services from your bank and maybe you tied the two together. POS dealers didn't care about offering credit card services and banks didn't care about offering POS. Well things are vastly different today because the companies selling credit card services figured out they could attract more customers by offering a POS system with their merchant services (credit card processing). The first I recall on the market was the Clover. It was a real disrupter the bank selling POS (Clover) and you had to use the banks processing service. the bank really didn't know the POS business nor really care about it but because new small businesses go to banks to open checking accounts the banks pounced on the unsuspecting store owner with an ...

Image
  Yes, the Price of pcAmerica Cash Register Express Increased on New Years Day      While there has not been an increase in the price for the popular POS system for quite some time things changed with the beginning on 2022.
