Some Retail Management Hero Updates

A couple of quick updates related to the new version of the Microsoft RMS point of sale software - now re-branded under the new Retail Management Hero (RMH) name:

• RMH does not have any accounting integrations yet. Integration to QuickBooks Accounting is planned but no firm ETA at this point (this is now available as of Q1 2017)
• While there are only limited options when it comes to EMV/Chip Card processing with RMH presently, this should change over the coming months as more processors become certified with RMH as well as third party solutions like Card Defender
• Existing Dynamics HQ users can use HQ with RMH but the actual HQ module for RMH is still in development stage with no firm ETA (best guess is last half of 2017)

Point of Sale Options for Dynamics GP (Great Plains) Users

Users of the Microsoft Dynamics GP (Great Plains) accounting software have a multitude of options when it comes to choosing a point of sale system that offers some level of interfacing with GP.  Two options really stand out as they don't just interface with GP but actually become part of GP as a GP point of sale "bolt on".

I recently spent some time getting familiar with the Compass and SalesPad point of sale solutions for GP and was very impressed. The cost and complexity of Compass and SalesPad put these solutions in the small to mid-sized chain retailer and offer scale-ability whether you have 5 locations or 150 locations.

Given the complexity of these point of sale programs, please contact me directly for more information and the contact information for a trustworthy Dynamics Partner who is experienced with the sales and support of Compass, SalesPad, and Dynamics GP.

Updates to NCR Silver

A few updates related to the NCR Silver point of sale solution for retail stores and restaurants that want a tablet/smartphone/mobile point of sale solution:

1. NCR Silver now has the ability to include color, style and size options for inventory items
2. There is a QuickBooks Accounting interface available for NCR Silver - my understanding is that the interface costs an additional $30/month - I will try to confirm that price and obtain more details about what the interface can and can't do.
