Check Out How SalesVu iPad POS System Works For Studios

Posted by salesvu

Grates Cove Studios (GCS) is a husband-and-wife owned business in Grates Cove, the northerly-most point of Newfoundland’s Avalon Peninsula. GCS offers finely crafted wood products and designs as well as co-owner Terrence Howell’s artwork. GCS accommodates artists, provides studio space, onsite hosts and art facilitation to support artists’ work. The Grates Cove Studios cafe opened this summer and is offering Newfoundland, Cajun and Asian-inspired meals. Additionally, it now accommodates travelers in its three bedroom vacation home.

GCS came across SalesVu’s iPad POS when intensely researching merchant systems. Prior to adopting SalesVu, they used Elavon’s virtual merchant system. GCS also considered Square at the time.

“We chose SalesVu because of the competitive merchant rates and because of the POS System that came with the account,” said GCS Co-Owner Courtney Howell.

GCS does business in their main building in Grates Cove, at trade shows throughout the year and online. The different sales locations gave them the need for an mPOS.

“We needed a professional, portable merchant system and point of sale system that could accommodate our sales wherever we do business,” said Howell.

“I love that my customers enjoy the checkout process; having a point of sale application on our iPad here in rural Newfoundland is not something that our customers expect,” said Howell. “I also really appreciate SalesVu’s customer service. I trust that when we need assistance, someone will be able to assist me during our business hours either by phone or email; the response has been very prompt and thorough.”

Chillin’ Peppers (CP) is a specialty store and “hot sauce heaven” that sells everything spicy.

See How Texas HOPE Literacy Uses SalesVu iPad POS System to Help Their Organization

Posted by salesvu

SalesVu is thrilled to be assisting Texas HOPE Literacy (THL)! THL is the leading volunteer literacy program in Texas prisons and has helped thousands of offenders improve their academic levels and earn their GED; many demonstrated learning disabilities such as dyslexia, ADD and ADHD. The HOPE Community Reintegration models for state prisons and county jails provide structured environments where inmates live and work together in cities, neighborhoods, work places and families. THL is the first peer-driven program in Texas prisons and as a result of their success, House Bill 28 became a law in May of 2003, giving inmates the right to tutor. Today, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has the largest peer driven program in the nation because of HOPE.

THL does conferences and presentations while accepting donations. Founder Lucy Smith heard about SalesVu’s iPad POS through her cosmetologist.

“I was extremely impressed when she showed me all the features,” said Smith.

At the time, Smith was preparing for a conference and wanted the capability of accepting donations. Previously, she had not used a POS system but had used PayPal some amount. Smith also considered Square but says SalesVu “far exceeded it,” particularly because of SalesVu’s features and ability to connect to QuickBooks.

“Overall, [SalesVu] is very user friendly. The night before using it at a conference, I learned how to take credit cards in less than an hour,” said Smith. “I was able to learn it without having to read copious instructions. I just figured it out..So easy!”

Welcome to SalesVu, Haunts of Mackinac Tours!

Posted by salesvu

Haunts of Mackinac Tours (HMT) has adopted SalesVu! HMT is a walking tour company that provides guests with tours of history, legends and ghost stories of Mackinac Island, Michigan.

HMT needed an iPad POS because they sell tickets in a number of locations in addition to having a gift shop. Prior to looking into different POS solutions, they were using a traditional cash register and an online ticketing system.

Owner Todd Clements chose SalesVu because it “looked easy to use and to train others to use. Most importantly was the ability to maintain inventory numbers and tracking hours.”

His favorite features include the reporting abilities and inventory control because he can keep a close eye on the business from anywhere.

98 Cents Plus Discount Store Talks about SalesVu iPad POS System Extensive Capabilities

Posted by salesvu

At the 98 Cents Plus Discount Store, you can get anything from beer and wine to home improvement goods to baby food. They describe their business as a convenience store mixed with a merchandise store. 98 Cents Plus also sells tobacco, products and lottery tickets. Additionally, they have a Western Union Service on location to transfer money.

98 Cents Plus discovered SalesVu’s POS system while looking into Square. They considered Square but Square did not have the ability to track inventory as SalesVu’s retail POS does. Prior to adopting the SalesVu iPad POS, they did not have the ability to track sales and inventory.

“We had to do everything manually,” said Nitya Patel, owner of 98 Cents Plus Discount Store.

98 Cents Plus did not need a mobile POS system but due to the rates, they could not resist.

“We picked SalesVu iPad POS because first of all it has very low rates for merchant service when compared to other merchant companies,” said Patel. “Also, it has a backend website where we can input inventory, track sales, change prices, etc. We love this feature.”

Patel’s favorite aspect of SalesVu is that they now use an iPad for the terminal and the customers love it.

“We had situations already where customers would come back with their kids just to show their kids how the system works,” said Patel. “They love it!”

Also, it is much easier for them to track inventory now.

“We used to have to remember each and every item and its price so that we could ring it up,” said Patel. “Now, we just scan the items and we do not need to worry about charging the wrong price to a customer. This also helps us to save money in the long run.”

Posted by salesvu

At eneRGy Photoart and Seductions Boudoir (EPSB), clients can preserve their passions and special moments by creating artistic expression through digital art and photography. EPSB also teaches their clients basic photography skills.

Owner Randy Goertzen meets portrait customers in their home, his home office, at trade shows and on location; this variety gave him the need to have access to a POS system in multiple situations. Goertzen used a combination of PayPal and Intuit GoPayment before adopting the SalesVu iPad POS. He had also looked into Square but did not receive the level of customer support that he was in need of.

“I chose SalesVu because I really like the interface of the iPad and iPhone apps, especially without a big investment or large minimum charge, which is important for a small business,” said Goertzen.

“My favorite thing about SalesVu iPad POS is the personalized POS interface so that I can easily and efficiently choose my products, add individual items, add a discount, add personal notes and whatever other information I need to all at one source,” he said.
