Microsoft RMS to Retail Management Hero (RMH) Upgrade Pricing

For new users, Retail Management Hero (RMH) will have nearly the same licensing cost as Microsoft RMS did with an exception that each store can only have 2 manager licenses for free - after that the manager licenses are $400/each.

So now comes the confusing part for stores using the Microsoft RMS point of sale software that want to upgrade to the new Retail Management Hero (RMH) point of sale software. I've been in contact with around 174 stores interested in this upgrade and each of you has a different scenario.  Below I will try and break down the costs based on the most common scenarios.  Note that I am not including HQ in the examples and am also not including labor costs or the costs to replace any hardware.

Because this can get very complex, please contact me for more information (if you are not already working with an RMS/RMH partner or are willing to switch Partners as I can't access your RMS license information unless you are assigned to RITE or DirectPOS/RVP Business Systems) - my cell number is 208-340-5632 and my email address is kevinantosh@gmail.com.

Scenario # 1:
2 Lane RMS License - RMS Version 2.02 - Current on Software Maintenance - 2 Back Office/Manager Computers

Upgrade to RMH: $430.00

Reasoning: RMS users who are current on software maintenance and are using RMS version 2.02 or higher receive an equal number of lanes for RMH and up to 10 manager licenses at no cost. Only software costs are to to purchase RMH software maintenance at a cost of $215/lane.

Scenario # 2:
2 Lane RMS License - RMS Version 1.3-2.01 - No Software Maintenance - 2 Back Office/Manager Computers

Upgrade to RMH: $930

Reasoning: RMS users who are lapsed/not current on their RMS software maintenance agreements and using an older version of RMS will need to pay $250/lane to upgrade to RMH plus buy software maintenance at a cost of $215/lane.

Again, each situation is somewhat unique so do contact me with questions but please note that I can not provide accurate pricing unless you agree to use RITE as your RMS/RMH partner of record (it is a simple one page form that I can send you).
