“SalesVu iPad POS System allow us to serve our community the best we can”

Posted by salesvu

WoodsEdge is a Bible based community church located in Spring, Texas. Their passion is to love Jesus with all their heart, and to seek to love Jesus more than ever before. They do that by cultivating an environment where no one walks alone and where they remain together in their journey towards Jesus. SalesVu credit card processing has helped the members of this religious community by securing transactions in multiple locations and by offering an easy way to transfer donations and payments to the WoodsEdge account.

We talked to Janet Harris, an active member of this inspiring community and she told us that :

“Together we want to see the kingdom of God advance in our church, our community and the world”

We were excited about understanding how a mobile credit card processing system like SalesVu could help and actively support a cause like the one WoodEdge Church has. Janet told us that SalesVu credit card processing has performed very well in the multiple locations off from their main campus.

“We have various events on site, and sometimes off campus. We wanted to have a mobile credit card processing system that could work altogether everywhere. SalesVu has helped with the registration of new people and with the donations. We really appreciate the lower cost they offer for each credit card transaction. In contrast with other processing platforms, SalesVu gave us the most convenient rate.”

Janet told us that SalesVu mobile credit card processing system is the first one the organization had tried and that she and her fellowship are satisfied with the way it has performed overall. She also told us that:

“The invoicing feature is very useful for us, as well as the recurring payments feature. We have a pre-school that we run and we use SalesVu credit card processing system to accept parents payments for tuition. We have 200 children enrolled in our educative services and SalesVu has been an excellent tool for saving parents some time, and of course, saving us some time also. Especially when someone is late for registration, the recurring payments option have proved its important role with us.”

SalesVu Mobile POS has given the unique artisans of liquor of the Sugar House Distillery another reason to be an unique and modern establishment. We talked with the business owner, James Fowler who told us about the singular characteristics of their handcrafted spirits. According to them, they are “The Ultimate legacy to the Culture of Small Batch, handcrafted spirits connoisseurs”. Located in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Sugar House is one of the few privately-owned locals that enjoy a permit to sell alcohol in the region. Their undeniable quality has awarded them with loyal customers who attend to their local to purchase the delicatessen beverages. According to James:

“Our products are hand crafted in Salt Lake City Utah. Our Vodka is our most popular product and the one we have been producing since long time ago. During this Holiday Season, we will have the release of a 100% pure malt Whisky and we are working on parallel project also developing high quality Rum”

” As a startup company we chose SalesVu first among other competitors because we received good referrals from other people in the industry and because it is really simple to use. SalesVu mobile POS prices were also important in taking the decision, in contrast with competitors, like Square, SalesVu mobile POS offers lower credit card transaction cost. Additionally, it is very convenient to have a tablet on the front. As a company, SalesVu mobile POS places us on the edge of technology and makes our store look modern and updated in regards of the current trends in the market.”

Kettle Heroes have popped up their business with the easy-to-use SalesVu iPad POS System

Posted by salesvu

Kettle Heroes have tasted the SalesVu iPad POS System and have popped up their business!. This company is a family-owned business located in Arizona that was launched into the market in 2013 by two brothers who were looking to make a difference in the world. They strive to offer customers from all ages the best popcorn, kettle corn and lemonade in the Southwest! They use only top-of-the-line, all-natural ingredients in their recipes.

We had the privilege to talk to one of the business owner Rudi Sinykin who runs day-to-day operations at Kettle Heroes. We asked him why Kettle Heroes needed a mobile iPad POS solution and they responded with a great story to share.

“We operate Food Trucks in the Arizona area and we needed a really easy POS system that could really be incorporated in a mobile platform facility like a food truck. SalesVu gave us a practical, affordable and easy-to understand platform that could easily be used with an iPad or Android. During our research for new POS solutions we investigated other competitors, but SalesVu really offered the best transaction fees for the credit card operations and it is able to work in multiple platforms like iOS and Android.”

Previously, Rudi told us that they owned a restaurant in which they used the traditional point of sale system, with cash registers.

” The cost of this machines was 2000$ or 3000$ and they broke down all the time. SalesVu offered us the possibility of using and iPad to manage the transactions and if something happens to it, well, it is affordable and easy to replace”

Rudi also told us that he has not yet used the majority of the SalesVu features, but that what he uses works fine all the time; nevertheless, they recommend to have good Internet Connection when using the SalesVu iPad POS to secure all the transactions.

“My favorite feature is the Sales Report. This one allows me to see the sales results at the end of the day and divides it in categories. It is really simple and easy to bring any transaction in the day by just clicking on it. SalesVu iPad POS operations go really fast which is excellent for our business requirements of almost 90 transactions per hour

The business has a positive motto that leads their day-to-day operations by following what they call, the Kettle Heroes’ creed: “BE HUMBLE. BE HONEST. BE A HERO”. Moreover, Rudi donates 20% of their earnings to several foundations like Pat Tillmans Foundation and since August 2013, we have donated over $17,000 to support local groups and causes such as Anasazi Elementary School and Making Strides Against Cancer.

Tropical Sno share their sweet experience with SalesVu iPad POS System : “A complete and reachable business management solution”

Posted by salesvu

Tropical Sno is a shaved iced local in Western Spring Illinois that is dedicated to create an oasis of shave ice euphoria. They do this by selling the highest quality and best tasting shave ice in the world. It serves more than 50 flavors to eager customers who constantly experiment with the wide variety of flavors and create their own ice indulgences.

We talked to the business owner Nicholas Cozzi who used in his first store the traditional registers, but noticed they were not really useful business-wise to his store. “All they did was round all the money earned in a day and nothing else” Nicholas realized he needed something more useful and a regular POS. He needed a complete and reachable business management tool, one that could offer him a wide range of business tools

He used Square in the past, but found that its features were insufficient for the market understanding and developing of Tropical Sno.

“SalesVu offered me the Gift Card Feature and I loved it!. This was crucial for my decision towards SalesVu business management solution. It is a complete system that understands the requirements and needs of my stores, hence of my clients. The Gift Cards were a huge success for my store, and a way to keep the sales organized. Customers loved it and used it a lot. This feature implied a great success for me and Tropical Sno”

He also told us that other favorite feature he has is the employees and inventory management tools that SalesVu includes.

“They are both very effective and convenient. As the owner of two stores, I need to be constantly updated about the things that happen with the payments of the employees and their hours of work. I also need to know if the cups or spoon supplies are running low in the store and SalesVu emails me with all this relevant information and allows me to manage my business effectively everywhere I go”.

Moreover, Nicholas explained that he felt that SalesVu Customer Service phone number is an extremely important tool of the system.

“The fact that I can call them directly instead of just having an email address makes it a very nice and reachable business solution. It is better to have a direct contact with a customer service representative in case some questions or concerns arise”

SalesVu iPad POS System offers a simple display that is reliable for small businesses like YogoFresh

Posted by salesvu

YogoFresh is a family run business run by David Giacomini and his father. The establishment offers a variety of self-serve frozen yogurt flavors and fun toppings for clients of all ages. They have been using the SalesVu iPad POS System because of the incredibly prompt and helpful technical support we offered them, and because the simple display SalesVu iPad POS presents.

We asked David Giacomini why did he need a fixed POS system and he responded confidentely that:

“We had very little space to work with and wanted a more trendy POS system as the aesthetics of our store is very important. The POS is in prime view of customers so we didn’t want a large clunky device. Plus, with the rise of mobile POS solutions, they almost all had remote access, which was important to us but was lacking with mainstream POS systems.”

As previously mentioned, while David was looking for other fixed POS solutions, he investigated about other alternatives like Square and GoPayment, but after close examination of pros and cons David decided for SalesVu because of its extraordinary and accessible technical support. Here is what he said to us:

“1. We needed to be able to have fractional units without rounding. For instance, we charge $0.45 per ounce of frozen yogurt and a customer may order 8.8 ounces. Other systems would have forced us to round it to 8 ounces (can’t overcharge customers and round to 9 ounces).

2. We had some initial questions and the tech support team with SalesVu was incredibly prompt and helpful. This gave us a lot of confidence in going with SalesVu as a solution.

3. We were initially turned off with SalesVu because there was a more formal merchant application. However, I’ve started numerous businesses and can tell you that real merchant applications are 10x more complex and usually involve a contract and additional fees. Going through a real merchant application early on meant no disruptions later when volume picked up. So it was actually a good thing.”

David opted to start his YogoFresh establishment with the SalesVu iPad POS from the very beginning .Since YogoFresh is a very simple business, they appreciate the simplicity that the SalesVu iPad POS had to offer.

“I love being able to run reports remotely. This paired with our remote viewing camera systems gives me a great sense of being at the store. Products are incredibly easy to set up and employees understand how to enter orders almost immediately. We also go through the process of setting up each employee with their own access which is a great way to track hours. I’ve even been able to edit hours remotely when an employee forgot to clock in or out. The sales reports are helpful too and are easy to run and filter. It is great having settings in the cloud so that I can implement changes without having to physically go to the store.”

David affirms that the main thing that SalesVu has done for his business is to keep it simple and understandable. He said:

“The main benefit to me is the simplicity of being able to take credit cards and view reports. These are things that SalesVu does so well that it is easy to take for granted. The system is reliable and employees quickly understand how to use the system. “

With SalesVu iPad POS System Al Capone’s Dinner & Show can consolidate all their business departments under one system

Posted by salesvu

Al Capones show starts with a turn-of-the-century ice cream parlor where your party will knock three times, say a secret password and enter Gangland Chicago 1931… Get ready for some action during our good ol’ gangster shoot out!.

According to business owner John Kucik, the dinner theater puts a lot of effort into their show, décor, and food. Definitely, it is a mandatory stop for the many tourists that travel to the Disney and Universal Studios city.

We talked to the business partner of Brian Costello for more details about their experience with SalesVu Ipad POS System. We asked them why they needed a mobile or iPad POS system and they responded:

“We needed something that worked with equipment we already owned. We chose SalesVu because of the feature set and no upfront equipment cost or built in monthly fees”

They told us that they used to work with traditional cash registers and that they considered Square Register and Shopify POS as alternate mobile POS Systems. The thing that Brian likes the most from SalesVu is that:

“Features that can be used in different departments such as invoices for phone orders tickets and liquid measurements for tracking alcohol inventory in the bar. It has helped us consolidate different departments to work under one system, from the box office to the bar and kitchen. Everyone works on the same system”

Compared to other standalone POS Systems, SalesVu have saved Al Capone Dinner Show several thousand dollars. Currently they don’t use the E-commerce feature, but they used the email invoice feature, which is presented very conveniently and easily for SalesVu Ipad POS solutions

SalesVu is an exemplary provider of iPad POS System and cloud-based business management software!

Posted by salesvu

Finding the right POS solution for your business can be a very difficult process. Not only is technology is advancing faster than ever before, but hardware becomes smaller and more capable each year. In this age a traditional cash register’s capabilities are getting close to obsolete. Why pay thousands of dollars for a massive, clunky POS when you could pick up an iPad to ring sales on, then manage your inventory, sales reports and employee schedule at the touch of a finger? Here are a few factors to consider when choosing an iPad POS for your business.

Quick, easy sales transactions will provide your staff with excellent time management and your customers with a satisfied service experience:

Our iPad POS system allows the checkout process to be executed quickly whether you prefer to use a Bluetooth scanner to ring up your sale, or you select the product off the iPad interface. After scanning or choosing the products you’d like to sell, you can simply press the PAY button and easily accept payment in the form of cash, check, credit card or gift card. Once the payment has been accepted you have the option to print the customer’s receipt to a Bluetooth printer in-store, or send it to them via email. In the event that you need to look up a product for your customer, you can search by product name, SKU or UPC code to let your customer know whether or not that product is in stock. You can even manage a tab for someone by creating a new order for them and not closing it out. If you have your devices cross-synced on SalesVu.com, you can start ringing an order on one device and then close it out on another.

“[SalesVu’s iPad POS] has allowed us to accept credit cards at our events, which accounts for almost half of sales every week! We would not have the amount of revenue we earn without SalesVu allowing us to take credit cards in the field.” (Megan Cowan, Trinity River Vision Authority).

Manage your business at any location, any time:

With SalesVu’s iPad POS you can check the status of your store at any time by clicking the Shift Management drawer. Here you will be able to see the total sales that have been made for this day including discounts, breakdowns by payment type, how much cash is on hand and how much has been deposited to the safe. Furthermore, these figures will be imported to your cloud portal where you will easily be able to see sales reports by the time of day, employee, location, device, and product category.

“Besides being more user friendly with the cashiers, the ability to run reports and track sales from the home office has improved the efficiency of our organization tenfold.” (Allen Wallace, Lone Star Kolaches)

Comprehensive inventory management:

SalesVu’s inventory and supply chain management feature will automatically deduct products from your inventory every time you make a sale. It will calculate what you have in stock based on manual, POS or e-commerce transactions. Also, you can setup a low inventory threshold alert and set up the system to automatically e-mail your vendors for more inventory!

“We needed a low-cost, cloud-based solution that was simple & easy to use. We also needed a product that tracked inventory, and this is what set SalesVu apart from others we looked at.” (Phil Gilbert, Experience Life Now).

Configure employee schedules and create system-wide bulletins easily:

SalesVu offers a human capital management feature where your web portal will keep track of your staff’s performance history, shift schedule, clock in and out reports and employee access levels. Through this feature, your employees also have access to a company-wide messaging system which will allow for them to exchange documents and request to trade shifts as needed. Furthermore, labor reports can be easily generated and all data can be exported to your accounting software for payroll purposes.

“I love that there is an employee time clock on the POS – it’s nice to have everything on the same program. It makes payroll quick and easy.” (Emily Potts, Sugar House Coffee).

Set up your online store using our E-Commerce feature:

SalesVu’s e-commerce feature allows you to host an online store on our server with a fully customizable look and feel, as well as the URL of your choice. If you already have a company website or wish to host it on a separate server, you may do so and simply add our ecommerce widget to manage your online sales. All purchases made through your SalesVu supported e-commerce website will be added directly to your inventory and product reports. If you’d like to, you have the option to push your online orders to one of your in-store devices for review before they are processed.

With this social marketing integration, you will be able to generate detailed reports of the codes that have been redeemed which will include the discount given versus the total purchase amount. You may also use our email marketing to automatically send your customers an email when they fit certain rules that you have set – for example, once a customer completes their first tennis lesson, you can have the system automatically send them a coupon for 15% off their second lesson.

Low CC Processing rates AND excellent reporting? K Bar K Ranch chooses SalesVu’s iPad POS System

Posted by salesvu

K Bar K Ranch (KBKR) is a pasture in Pottsboro, TX that has mastered the art of producing naturally fed, humanely raised, high-quality meats. With more than 1,300 acres of land, 20+ years of experience, and a cowherd of more than 400 head, KBKR has managed to pioneer the “black baldy” calf. Cattlemen, butchers and customers alike prefer the hybrid black baldy because it’s beef is faster growing and more tender than other calves. KBKR is an establishment that consistently brings high-quality products as well as innovation to the field of cattle farming.

KBKR felt the need for a mobile POS solution about 3 years ago when they began selling their meat at the Frisco Farmers Market in Frisco, Texas. At the time, they were using a notepad and calculator to track their sales, which proved to be incredibly slow.

“We have 5 or 6 people trying to keep up as orders are entered and product is picked out of 6 different freezers,” says Scott Galyon, KBKR Manager. “It is a very hectic process on Saturday mornings.”

KBKR was looking for a way to streamline their checkout process and reduce some of the chaos involved in making sales. These days at the Frisco Farmers Market, you can find KBKR using two devices that run SalesVu’s iPad POS software and business is booming.

When he began searching for a mobile POS system, KBKR owner Kent Black started by looked into Square, who charges a fee of 2.75% of credit card sales for processing.

“I noticed that SalesVu only charged 2.7% so I started looking into [that],” said Black. “I was impressed by all the features SalesVu offered both on the iPad as a POS device as well as the reporting software available online.”

KBKR was also interested in the real time data syncing and the ability to sell products by decimal quantity, which was not offered by other services. “If you are selling meat, you have the price per pound for each product stored in the POS system,” explains Galyon. “Most items are sold by the pound. The packaged meat item is weighed at time of sale and that weight must be entered out to two decimal places (e.g., 5.85 pounds).”

Black and Galyon like that they’re able to view all their reports online. They enjoy the option to see their orders by individual product or group of products (e.g. steaks, roasts, brisket vs beef).

They also appreciate that the mobility of an iPad POS helps them seamlessly make deliveries.

“We have what we call co-op orders which we deliver during the week,” says Black. “A customer from a remote location or neighborhood can collect a group order from their friends and email that [list] to us. We can enter that order into the iPad in advance and collect the products into a package. Then when we deliver, we just pull up [their order], enter the payment and it is complete.”

Mobility in the field, low credit card processing rates and impressive sales reporting is what keeps KBKR with SalesVu. We thank KBKR for their continued patronage and look forward to continuing to serve them well! For more information about KBKR visit kbark.com or see their Facebook page.

SalesVu’s iPad POS System seamlessly integrates Lone Star Kolache’s six locations!

Posted by salesvu

Lone Star Kolaches (LSK) was founded ten years ago by Massey and Allen Wallace. This Austin, Texas bakery specializes in “those delicious Czech pastries known as kolaches.” Today, you can pick up these delectable treats at any of LSK’s six locations – all of which are fully integrated with SalesVu’s iPad POS software.

Before switching to SalesVu, LSK used standalone cash registers that were “very archaic.” They considered a few other restaurant POS solutions but after an excellent recommendation from a local coffee shop, they chose SalesVu because of the many features offered and low cost of getting started.

“Switching from the old style cash registers to a mobile POS system was a no brainer,” says Allen Wallace, “Besides being more user friendly with the cashiers, the ability to run reports and track sales from the home office has improved the efficiency of our organization tenfold.”

Wallace’s favorite SalesVu feature is the multi-location management report. He finds it very convenient to be able to track sales per location as well as sales per product – then easily export that data to an excel spreadsheet.

These reports have given the Wallace family “better eyes” to see which products are selling best and which are not. It has also greatly improved their efficiency in managing the menus for their six different locations.

Whenever they run into technical trouble, Wallace says kindness and patience of SalesVu’s support staff has been a “godsend.”

“Thomas is always there when we need him and he’s demonstrated enormous patience dealing with a couple of computer illiterates like us.”

Although they aren’t able to generate an exact figure on their savings, Wallace says that the credit card processing rates with Mercury Payment Systems and the POS solution with SalesVu is “definitely less money than a lot of the competition.”

We are thrilled for the opportunity to continue to provide LSK with the exceptional business management software they require to run their business.
