Lightspeed POS: CLOUD-BASED POINT OF SALE SOFTWARE FOR TABLETS

Our number one priority is our customers. We strive to provide quality point of sale solutions to a broad range of business types. In order to meet these needs, we look for systems that meet several key factors. They need to be fast, easy to use, and give useful sales information. Finding a solution that has both a robust feature set and doesn’t take a lifetime to master can be tricky. Making sure the system works well for both permanent sales and short-term rentals is another beast entirely. There are thousands of apps out there with more added everyday. We have sifted through the masses, researched the top contenders, tested a dozen or so of those, and settled on a favorite. Our top pick for a retail app is Lightspeed POS. Lightspeed began development in 2010, and has grown into a point of sale power house used in over 20,000 businesses in more than 140 countries.

We are excited to be a part of the Lightspeed certified partner network. If Lightspeed looks like it might be right for your event/business, but you would like some more information, contact us. We would be happy to set up an online demo for you to show you how it works. You can also request a quote for the software and hardware for purchase or event rental.
