Cash Register Express is still the best retail POS on the market

Image
  If you want a robust POS system for Retail Cash Register Express is still the best. Cash Register Express (CRE) has been around for a very long time, do you know why? because it works and it has features all the flashy cloud based systems don't. 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. Take a look at our list below Handles EBT correctly, sorts non EBT items EBT eligible items in the same transaction. Allows you to split tender and removes sales taxes from EBT eligible items.    Case/Each inventory management. Yes you buy in the case but sell it by the each. CRE handles that inventory correctly unlike so many systems on the market today. Price Embedded Bar Codes work great in CRE. If y...

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 ...

The cost of Cash Register Express Increased on Jan 1 2022

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. The cost of CRE licenses and annual support contract have increased. However the monthly cost of a license or support did not increase at all. I guess that is more incentive to opt for the Software as a Service model instead of the one time purchase.

pcAmerica Cash Register Express

Image
  What is this software called? Is it pcAmerica or Cash Register Express?  Yes, kind of a silly thing to blog about, however it is a real issue sometimes. We still have people contact us looking for pcAmerica and we say OH, sure you need Cash Register Express (CRE). They always reply no, we need pcAmerica! So to straighten this out, they are the same thing. The company that created CRE was called pcAmerica and the product was Cash Register Express. In some circles however the product became known as the company name instead of the product name or in some cases by both. I guess it is six one way and half a dozen the other way, so really does not mean anything as it is the same thing.  Regardless the name it is still the great POS system that is used everywhere Several years ago Heartland Payments bought this product and will be keeping the name. Although since they are going to market in Canada as well I think they plan on dropping the pcAmerica portion of the name which w...
