We Pricelisto have been using Vend for about 4 years now. Vend gets our award for the best POS system for retail because of its sophisticated analytics and inventory management. One register and one location are covered under one of three Vend plans; additional registers and locations can be added for a fee. Your retail operations are supported by features that are available in all editions. You have a tonne of hardware alternatives at your disposal, or you may use what you already have. You can use either a Mac or a Windows computer with Vend's bundles. With Vend's adaptable support systems, which include live chat help available in-app or 24/7 online, email, a phone center, and a comprehensive knowledge base, you can get the customer service your retail store requires.

first of all, I must say that this is a fabulous tool for me. This software is helpful to track sales and helps a lot of small businesses like mine to grow. Thanks to all the developers of this solution. It has really made my business work easier. The amazing thing is that it works even when the internet slows down.

“Brilliant program”

Overall rating5.0

I recently developed a website using BigCommerce for a bricks and mortar store and set up Vend as their point-of-sale system and the client and myself couldn't be more happy. Vend is one of those programs where everything is intuitive and easy to set up.
