Liquor Stores: Are you headed to the 2023 TPSA Conference?

Liquor Stores in Texas: Are you headed to the 2023 TPSA Conference and Trade Show in San Antonio? 

Plan on stopping by Booth # 716 to say "hello" and see why liquor stores in Texas are using the Cloud Retailer Liquor Store Point of Sale Software! https://www.texaspackage.com/tpsa-convention-and-trade-show

 

Why are these liquor store owners and managers in Kansas and Texas giving a "Thumbs Up"?

 Because they use the Cloud Retailer point of sale software for beer, wine, and liquor stores!

RITE Wins Award

Wow - so for the second year in a row that Retail Information Technologies Enterprises (RITE - Sartel, MN, Dallas, TX and Boise, ID) has won the Circle of Excellence Growth Award as part of the annual Retail Realm and Microsoft retail technology conference. As one of the largest Microsoft RMS, HQ, Dynamics AX, Retail Realm Essentials, and Retail Management Hero (RMH) Partners in the United States, RITE is committed to ensuring that customer service is not compromised by growth.

The Right Time for RITE

Those of you who follow my blog know that the point of sale company that I worked for, DirectPOS (or RVP Business Systems), stopped selling and supporting point of sale systems in fall of 2013.  Since then I have spent well over $8,000 of my own money traveling to meet with prospective employers who offer similar products and services to what DirectPOS offered.

After multiple meetings, I am pleased to announce that I have joined the team at RITE. The time was right to join RITE with the release of Retail Management Hero and Retail Realm Essentials as well as Cloud Retailer.

Don't panic - my blog site and YouTube Channel will still be a source of no cost point of sale advice and news but will now offer retail point of system sales and services that many of you have been asking for.  My focus will be around retailers located in Idaho and Utah as well as the surrounding states. RITE has multiple locations already so on-site support is available nationally as needed.

I'm looking forward to helping retailers in the US find the best point of sale solution for their business or organization!

Do contact me at kevinantosh@gmail.com or 208-340-5632 as I'll be working up some discounts and promotions over the coming weeks.
