Red Onion Spice & Tea Company are merchants of high quality spices, loose leaf tea and gourmet salts. Catering to the chef that lives within all of us, they specialize in offering custom spice blends. They offer original tea blends using only the best quality loose teas. Their products are primarily organic and maintain rigorous quality control to bring out the best flavors in all our dishes. Red Onion & Spice Tea Company have high  standards, reason why they have chosen to use SalesVu retail POS !

“Our business started online in 2010 with our first store opening in Juneau, Alaska in 2012, We’re a small business run by three staff and me, the business owner. We pack each internet order item fresh as it’s ordered, and in-store we offer both bulk and items that we pre-pack.  I can’t tell you how nice it is to have customers who walk into the store happy, and leave happy! Our town has a small selection of restaurants to choose from, so there are lots of experienced ‘closet chefs’ in town. We ship all across the country and Canada as well and are proud of our reputation that we have built.”

We asked Kathy Jones why they needed to obtain a mobile POS system and why from all the options, they decided for SalesVu retail POS. They told us that even being the business owner of a small retail shop, the challenges and problems they faced were very significant and large.

” I work another full time job and can’t be at the shop during the day. My other job also requires that I travel – and I take vacations away as well.  This means I need to be able to manage my business wherever I go, and at home in the evenings. Reason why I needed to be able to handle Red Onion & Spice & Tea Company affairs from everywhere I went. SalesVu retail POS did it all and charged a simple and reasonable rate for credit card transactions”

Kathy told us that businesses are very complex enough and that she really appreciates the ease of use of  SalesVu. She believes the inventory management feature and the invoice management one are extremely reliable and adequate for Red Onions Spice & Tea Company

“It tracks our employee’s hours, the POS has an easy interface to learn and use, and most important, it handles our inventory – which can be fairly complex. I can easily manage and balance deposits as I receive email reports when a shift closes out. I can add new products or make corrections from home and while I travel, and a simple refresh at the POS instantly shows the new information. Staff can view what is on order so they can communicate to our customers when an item is expected back in stock. The web interface is also easy to use. As businesses are complex enough, I appreciate the ease of use.”

Before SalesVu Kathy used paper and spreadsheet, not even a traditional POS that helped her keep track electronically of the purchases. What a change it has been for Kathy! An important upgrade to modern payments with SalesVu retail POS and inventory management tool. She told us that from all the POS options in the market, several other products required a major cash investment in software and online services that they just couldn’t afford.

“One of my favorite things about SalesVu is that it’s so intuitive to use. We have to train quite a few staff and not having to explain the POS system is a big help in getting new staff up and running in no time. Another favorite item is the inventory and flexible product listings. Most of our items in stock are kept in small quantities in order to maintain freshness, so having an accurate inventory at my fingertips wherever I go has been of major importance to us.”

“SalesVu has The Cool Factor” says Distinctive Gardens about our retail iPad POS System.

 logo

spring3-basket-d860afd30b

Distinctive Gardens garden center has been in business since 1999 offering a rich variety of plants, garden gifts, landscape design services, and local artist gallery.  Greenhouses filled with unusual annuals, perennials and vegetable plants, outdoor display beds. The business hosts yearly benefit festivals, such as the popular “Gardenstock Art & Music Festival.” Distinctive Gardens decided to implement a mobile POS solution because mainly their customers shop for plants inside the greenhouses.

 

“The ability to ring up purchases right there where they stand creates a streamlined and customer-friendly experience. Our community projects require ringing credit cards outside. Being off location at trade shows or at farmer’s markets makes having a reliable mobile POS a key to help increase sales, efficiency and bolster community projects.”

 

They spent over a year researching a variety of mobile POS solutions. While many offered appealing aspects, none encompassed the breadth of features contained within SalesVu.

 

We have been using SalesVu long enough to see it evolve over time. We used this system for two years as a stand-alone mobile solution before deciding to integrate it as our primary POS within our brick and mortar store. Development is clearly a priority for this company. The base infrastructure of their system is solid and the fine-tuning of software that continues has only increased its ease of use and expanded versatility.”

 

For Distinctive Gardens every feature SalesVu presents important business functionalities that are crucial for the success of their services here are some examples:

 

 “ In regards of Integrated Inventory, We wanted to develop an online presence without having to run two sets of inventory and maintain two different systems. SalesVu allows us to manage products from one convenient cloud-based location for both our brick and mortar store and eCommerce. “

 

They also added that the Quickbooks Integration SalesVu all-in-one business solution works with their current accounting system. For the most part, Distinctive Gardens was satisfied with the integration. They understand the complexity required in integrating with a piece of software that has been notorious for making it difficult for third party integration.

 

 “Additionally, we know that we are using a solid and reliable hardware selection SalesVu system is paired with fantastic hardware partners. The barcode scanner selection is outstanding, simple and reliable. The credit card reader is stable and dependable.  In the same way, the overall system stability as a cloud-based system that is stable is imperative. SalesVu servers are fast, consistent and in our entire experience we have yet to experience one single server malfunction. Incredible.”

 

Currently, Distinctive Gardens is in the process of expanding their brand reach and offer an online experience. SalesVu system is an integral aspect of that project. They are in the early stages of developing an eCommerce channel and testing various seasonal online stores that contain curated products from inventory.

 “We tested our first store last November. Through our Holiday Online store we sold fresh made wreaths and saw promising results.The integrated eCommerce solution is fantastic. Historically, we operate primarily as a local brick and mortar store and run occasional pop-up shops throughout the year. Last year during Gardenstock, we premiered a documentary on the festival, Gardenstock: For Community, and sold it as an additional fundraiser.  Before, during and after, SalesVu eCommerce helped that project’s success by extending reach.”

 

For Distinctive Gardens the credit card processing platform SalesVu offer is a key area. If you decide to do some research about how most small business owners think they will say that some operating systems make navigating the ambiguous waters of the credit card merchant industry a real nightmare.

 “SalesVu system sets itself apart from many in their credit card processing system. They have partnered with banks and negotiated rates in order to be able to offer their customers an incredibly competitive product in the area of credit card processing. Even more, they handle PCI compliance, a huge headache-saver and game-changer in and of itself. The rate is flat. The PCI compliance handled. The statement is clear. Safety, security, predictability, competitive rates and transparency, what else is there?”

 

Among Distinctive Gardens favorites features is the iPad/iPhone App Interface which is really easy to navigate and according to them, is very intuitive since training personnel has been quick and easy, saving them time and of course money.

 

 The transition from our old gift card system to SalesVu was a snap. We imported all the current outstanding balances into SalesVu, and never missed a beat in transacting gift cards. SalesVu has The Cool Factor. I don’t know how many times since its implementation, it has been the topic of conversation during check out gravitated to the POS itself. Customers are impressed with the technology, which reflects well on us. They enjoy the touchscreen experience and think its cool.”

 

Don’t miss out the opportunity to support Distinctive Gardens with their Gardenstock Documentary. Each year in August, “Gardenstock Art & Music Festival” is held on Distinctive Gardens grounds.  Proceeds from their festival benefit an area non-profit, Sinnissippi Center’s Youth Garden Program. This is a great initiative and a benefit for a community project .

resquoo amends any tech issues while SalesVu iPad POS System overhauls their internal functionality.

 

 

Untitled

 

resquoo is a start-up company formed 14 months ago that offers data recovery; data transfer services, device tune-ups and virus removal services for broken computers, hard drives, storage media and mobile devices. They have conveniently placed drop-off / pick-up kiosks at shopping malls and recover information from all types of devices from their data recovery lab in Peabody, MA. There, the magic of retrieving all that “lost” stuff happens. With a very high success rate, resquoo charges affordable rates. resquoo is also a member of the Apple Consultants Network and employs Apple certified support professionals. Hands down, resquoo is the place to go for unexpected or accidental damage, data loss, and virus removal.

SalesVu POS solution has proven to be helpful and valuable for this recently formed company. We had the unique opportunity to talk to resquoo business owners about their experience with us:

 

“What we really like is SalesVu POS solution front-end, both in the app, and on the web. It is really comprehensive, and it is really great at categorizing retail goods. SalesVu is so intuitive we don’t have to train any of our employees in how to use it properly. Obviously, this is a tremendous time saver for us and it really put us forward in regards to our efficiency. We can add or modify the large number of services and products we offer from within SalesVu and that fits ideally to the characteristics of our business.”

 

SalesVu definitely has some good news for all the ones reading that are in desperate need for information recovery, data transfer, virus removals or tune-up’s: resquoo is planning to expand their services and even maybe franchise! resquoo operates with state-of-the-art and sophisticated technologies that guarantee an excellent result when you drop-off your devices at the conveniently located kiosks inside the malls.

 

iokso

“Since our pick-up and drop off locations are kiosks in shopping malls some of our technicians are mobile and are required to perform on-site diagnostics and some services at customer locations. Therefore, an integrated, multi location enabled and mobile POS, like SalesVu POS, was required.”

 

From all the POS out there, why SalesVu? We asked resquoo business owners and they answered:

 

“SalesVu offered the best mobile and cloud solution, one that enabled us to combine charges for our unique customer services. As part of our services, we also sell replacement, larger capacity hard drives, and other storage media, (e.g. Backup solutions). Thus, inventory tracking, ordering, as well as staff management, and time tracking were important tools SalesVu POS was able to provide us”.

 

The first POS solution resquoo used was SalesVu and we have provided them a reliable tool to make easy transactions, quick deposits in banks, and very competitive credit card transaction rates.

“SalesVu’s team has proven to be extremely responsive with round-the-clock responses on the phone. I can say how supportive they have been with us because no matter how many times we need them, SalesVu always gets back to us right away.”

 

Accidentally clicking on the delete button happens and, for that, we have the capable minds of resquoo to help us with data retrieval as well as due to tech malfunctions, or simply data transfers because you’ve moved to a new device. They’ll put contacts, pictures and songs and all your important documents back where they should be! Because we are constantly handling electronics that may contain important parts of our lives, and because we definitely don’t want to lose that, be sure to visit their website and like them on Facebook.

SalesVu all-in-one business solution and iPad POS System helps freelancers reach their outmost potential

Screen Shot 2015-01-05 at 12.34.39 PM

Being a freelancer requires discipline, conviction and organization. Our SalesVu user Jamie Weaver is a perfect example of all of these qualities as she manages her own business as a personal beauty consultant. Jamie uses SalesVu all-in-one business solution to manage her operations, both for convenient payments and for inventory tracking. We talked to her about her experience with SalesVu and especially why she chose SalesVu:

“It was easier to keep track of my money. I have a personal account  associated with SalesVu, so all the payments received go directly to that account. Hence, I have the money right where I need it, to pay for products and the beauty supplies.  I also attend to festivals and outdoor fairs, on these places the credit card swipper is extremely useful. I have an android phone and I can put the credit card info manually or use the swipper without any problem. However, I want to get the new generation iPad so I can use the big swipper and provide a more comfortable payment experience to all of my clients. One thing I have to say is that, even when the swipper fails, SalesVu’s rates are still the same, a feature that is extremely different to all the other business solutions I am aware of”.

Jamie told us that among all the POS System competitors, SalesVu was the most suitable for her business requirements, especially considering that she needed an all-in-one business solution.

“The fact that SalesVu offers inventory management and a much lower credit card transaction rate were major influences in making the right choice.  Definitely, this was a big, big thing for me. Besides, square didn’t work half of the time. SalesVu is easier for taxes; I can separate things, for example, I can divide women services from men services and englobe everything even if it  is very specific (massages, facials, etc.)”

Jamie Told us about her favorite feature of SalesVu all-in-one business solution; for her, inventory management is extremely important since she needs to carry a very strict list of the ending beauty supplies. She told us:

” I need to know how much color I am using, SalesVu all-in-one business solution helps me get up to date with the supplies I use. With this, I can measure my return on investment. As a result, I can charge the client exactly what I use. I always put the charge per ounce and SalesVu helps me with that.”

She likes the fact that she can print the receipts which show the ones that were paid with cash, credit cards, or money orders. SalesVu all-in-one business solution helps Jamie and any of our users keep track of their clients.

“I now understand what they like to buy, I can see the previous purchases. I can type the client’s name and see the history of the things the clients buy or have bought in the past. I can go to the SalesVu app and see what products they use and which ones they really want because of it.”

Jamie told us that she would like to use the gift card feature SalesVu offers. If you want to have an appointment with a beauty specialist and get pampered by a top-of-the-line professional, like Jamie Weaver, visit her websites and be sure to book an appointment ASAP!

Acute Payrolls Have Never Been Easier with SalesVu Employee Scheduling

1237799_10151582627455685_377708866_n

Antonelli’s Cheese owner, John Antonelli  has been asked many times “Why a Cheese Shop?”, his response is simple and always the same: it comprises everything he loves. Traveling, spending time together with his partner, and eating great cheese. Antonelli placed himself in a very intense cheese bootcamp, attended to cheese conferences and found out the secrets for the production of an amazing product. He concentrates on sourcing the finest artisanal cheese and serve the growing demand of their customers with private events and cheese education sessions. SalesVu employee management system has been essential integrating their restaurant needs. 

“We have two reasons for needing SalesVu.  1) We were in need of a clock-in/clock-out employee time system that would integrate both sides of the street.  and 2) We operate events in our Cheese House on a regular basis and it requires a POS solution to allow us to check guests out after making purchases post event.”

Antonellis chose SalesVu to assist with their clock-in/clock-out management because the interface of SalesVu employee management  is holistic enough to control the payment of the team members and check their hours of work.

“Employee scheduling is the most helpful tool and it adapts to our necessities. Before using SalesVu for our clock management system, we were leveraging our Microsoft RMS software installed on a HP computer. It was not really convenient, SalesVu employee management became the ultimate solution to submit payments efficiently”

What they like the most is the easy-to-use functionality of the app. It suits Antonelli’s Cheese requirements and according to John:

” I am so happy that that we are able to sync both locations! Team members can flow between spaces without having to worry about clocking. Checking in and out at the correct location, has never been easier. We have now a more acute payroll for our team members and for our business.”

“Inventory Management is Why I Love SalesVu iPad POS System so Much”

NSlogo102312

Northern Sun Winery is an estate grown winery located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  Everything in their wine bottles is grown on site. The business includes a tasting room, a small gift shop and hosting events such as weddings.  They can also deliver their wines! They use SalesVu inventory management and simply love it for its convenience and simplicity. Northern Sun winery thinks inventory management is among the top features of SalesVu.

 “We needed a mobile POS system because our tasting room does not have phone or Wi-Fi service.  We are located in a desolate location.   We also can deliver our product to stores or customers, this way I can ring their sale on site accepting cash, check or credit card.  It is very convenient for our customers increasing their satisfaction.”
 

We talked to the business owner, Susan Anthony and she gave us her opinion about the SalesVu inventory management system. For Susan, flexibility and lower credit card transaction rates were a must when searching for a business management solution.

 
“SalesVu is my first POS system and feel very lucky I got the best.It is hard to pick out a favorite thing, it’s like looking at a picture and picking out one subject.  The whole thing is great.That being said I like that it keeps track of my inventory, COGS, taxes.  Taxes are huge because I need to really keep on top of that not only on the state, but also on the federal level.  I also really like that I can easily obtain my monthly sales of wine for filing purposes.  I can break the sales down by time, day or month.”

According to Susan, SalesVu has helped Northern Sun Winery substantially. She says they can now accept credit cards, thus they can make each of their clients feel more comfortable with the transactions. Cold, hard and old cash is a thing of the past. Now everytime she gets foreign customers, SalesVu is perfect for their payment selection.

“SalesVu is priceless. What I paid for it has returned in so many ways to my business. SalesVu inventory management has given me comfort, tranquility, automation, and more importantly customer satisfaction.I must say that I tried the Quickbooks integration a year ago; however, I am not planning on using it this winter.”
