The Silver Diva Chooses SalesVu for Advanced Reporting & Customer Management

Posted by salesvu

The Silver Diva (TSD) is a premiere hand stamping jewelry studio in Cincinnati. Customers can learn how to hand stamp jewelry and accessories or purchase pre-stamped jewelry. Hand-stamping instruction is free and anyone six or older can participate.

“The art of hand stamping involves striking metal with steel stamps to create letters, words or designs,” said The Silver Diva Owner Carrissa Barbee. “It makes a really fun party for birthdays, ladies’ night out, social events or fundraisers.”

Prior to adopting SalesVu’s retail pos system, TSD was using PayPal and ProPay. They needed an mPOS solution because they occasionally attend craft shows out in the field and find it easier to work the same way in the shop.

After looking into several other POS solutions, TSD chose SalesVu “because of the reporting abilities, ease of adding products to the back end and the ability to swipe cards simply where buyers sign on a tablet.”

“I really like the back end where we can put all of our [itemized] products in and pull up reports about when people are buying,” said Barbee. “I also like to keep a full list of our customers so when they come back, we can easily track it.”

“SalesVu has helped our business by being able to easily keep track of our in-store inventory and keep our online sales seperate from our retail story,” said Barbee.

A.D.S. Kustoms Glass Adopts SalesVu iPad POS System for Inventory Management, Invoicing and ECommerce

Posted by salesvu

“We like to say that, ‘We make gifts that last forever,’ here at ADS Kustoms Glass-Sandblasting,” said Owner Noe Agado.

ADS can personalize any glassware, mirror, stainless steel, copper, aluminum or even wood item. They can blast text and artwork to almost anything, though they focus on glass as it leaves the best impression. ADS can also cut glass into different depths for texture variations.

ADS went mobile soon after Agado began sandblasting, as he realized he needed to take the service to his customers. Prior to adopting SalesVu POS System, he had used PayPal, invoiceASAP, Intuit GoPayment, Quickbooks and an invoice generator.

“I really enjoy SalesVu because of the web portal,” said Agado. “Being able to load and track my inventory along with sales reporting is going to make my tax report easy.”

One of ADS’ favorite features is the ability to email invoices and receipts. Once Agado receives the payment email, he can ship customers their custom products.

“For example, over Christmas, I had a lot of Facebook sales,” said Agado. “I was able to add the customers’ info to the order, click on the email envelope and start working in the order that the invoices were paid.”

SalesVu has allowed ADS to expand their sales to different parts of Texas.

“I have consignment sales people who I’ve added as payment locations to my system,” said Agado of his sales expansion. “I’ve even cross synced a few devices that we use at farmers markets to allow different people to take orders and others to cash them out.”

SalesVu’s ECommerce is also allowing him to expand his business beyond just Texas.

SalesVu’s ECommerce Website Transforms CBS Cycling into a Worldwide Business

Posted by salesvu

CBS Cycling began as a consignment shop in Paul Chia’s house where people could recycle their used bikes, parts and accessories. This eventually evolved into a small location in Valencia, California that went beyond just consignment to new products, as well. Today, CBS Cycling is a boutique shop that specializes in one-on-one customer service. They cater to everyone from beginner riders to elite amateurs.

A mobile POS was important for CBS because of their transition from home business to retail location.

“[SalesVu] has been able to move with us and grow as we have grown,” said CBS Owner Paul Chia.

Chia looked into several retail POS systems, including: Shopkeep, NCR Silver and LightSpeed. However, all of those options had high initial costs that CBS could not afford as a new business. Chia had also previously used Regit POS, but was not happy with the cost.

“We had no upfront costs to start the business with SalesVu, so the savings just keep growing since there have been no further costs to maintain,” said Chia. “The capability to use almost any electronic device made the choice easy.”

SalesVu’s iPad POS allows CBS to be tech savvy with ease of use and accessibility.

“The best feature is the ability to access the site anywhere,” said Chia. “The ease of use in setting up and creating inventory, tracking orders and managing employees has been a major plus.”

Additionally, Chia really likes the available customer service. SalesVu’s team has been “a great bouncing board” in terms of features and how-to’s for Chia.

However, he claims the greatest feature is the ECommerce website.

“The website/widget allows our products, currently on-site, to be sold worldwide,” said Chia. “This one-stop shop that integrates current inventory to online availability will allow us to reach more customers.”

SDAdish Puts Their Trust in SalesVu’s ECommerce Website for Their Nationwide Business

Posted by salesvu

The Company

SDAdish (SDA) is a small business that sells free-to-air satellite equipment, meaning once you buy the equipment you can watch TV without monthly fees or contracts. SDA has several channel packages available, some of which include up to 200 channels. They also offer installation and repair to customers within a 150 mile radius of their office in Priest River, Idaho. Additionally, SDA has begun selling cell phone boosters, antennas, survival gear and health products.

“Primarily, our goal is to make Christian television available to more people at an affordable cost,” said SDAdish Owner Natalie Ocon. “We also want to make more people aware that there is still free TV available out there, with quality programming as well.”

The Needs

SDAdish needed an iPad POS solution because they frequently attend trade shows and Christian camp meetings where they need to process credit cards on the spot. They also needed to be able to accept credit cards while doing local installations and repairs.

“Because we sell nationwide, almost all of our sales occur over the phone or online,” said Ocon. “Therefore, if we are out in the field doing an installation, we can still take orders and process credit cards while out of the office.”

The SalesVu Decision

Prior to adopting SalesVu, SDAdish was using SecurePay. SDA was able to integrate it “fairly well” with their website, but it had more limitations and many extra fees.

“Also, every year they required us to go through a PCI compliance questionnaire and pay $180; I got pretty tired of that,” said Ocon.

Once deciding to look at other POS systems, SDA considered PayPal, Square and Intuit GoPayment. They chose SalesVu because they had the most features at the best rate.

“[SalesVu] has a low rate, no annual PCI compliance fee or other fees like, statement fees or getaway fees,” said Ocon. “We also needed to be able to integrate the credit card processing with our existing website and be able to use our mobile devices to process cards.”

SalesVu ECommerce

One of SDA’s favorite things about SalesVu is the ECommerce feature.

“We like being able to add products, descriptions, pictures and more to the website and then be able to see them on the app as well,” said Ocon. “We also like the ‘Buy’ buttons that we’ve integrated into our website as the shopping cart.”

According to Ocon, SDAdish was getting thousands of views to the website but they weren’t getting enough conversions to sales with their previous POS shopping cart system.

“It seems that with SalesVu, the checkout process is less confusing to the customer,” said Ocon. “They click on the ‘Buy’ button and are taken to a nice, clean item description page to complete their order.”

SDA also enjoys how easy it is to add new products, as well as remove items from ECommerce with a click of the mouse.

“With our last POS provider, we didn’t have the option to remove items from ECommerce when we were out of stock,” said Ocon. “We had to list it as ‘Out of Stock’ and hope that the customer would read that and not try to continue with the order.”

Ocon’s husband, Max, also had a lot to say about SalesVu’s ECommerce feature:

“The ECommerce has been great,” said Max. “My customers have found that our new system works much better, is easy to use and I like it too! I especially like the SalesVu dashboard and the easy-to-understand interface features for setting up products under categories, all with different options. The [ECommerce] website also works great on mobile devices, like phones.”

“My last service was quite a hassle to work with and you can’t beat SalesVu’s customer service,” said Max. “I give them a 10 and two thumbs up for their quick tech support response.”

The Results

“SalesVu has helped our business by making it possible for our website to be more user-friendly,” said Ocon. “It has also saved us quite a bit of money that we can use elsewhere to help our business grow.”

Ocon says that SDAdish saves about $420/year on fees alone by using SalesVu.

Hey 49er Fans, Niner Empire is Talking about Their Success with SalesVu’s ECommerce Website

Posted by salesvu

Niner Empire (NE) is a San Francisco 49er fan shop. Initially, NE was a website for all 49er fans to come together in support their team. Then, it grew around the country and world to now have over 40 chapters.

NE started their own clothing line a couple of years ago and recently decided to open a fan shop. They sell 49er novelties, glassware, housewares, tailgating items, flags, prints, jewelry, toys, etc.

Owner Monica Toscano researched many POS systems, including Square and Shopkeep, and even bought a couple cash registers before returning them. Square could not support their inventory issues and they could not afford Shopkeep and the like because of monthly charges.

“SalesVu iPad POS had everything we needed: an inventory system, merchant service and the ability to scan barcodes,” said Toscano. “I also like that I could download my info into Quickbooks and the opportunity for an online store.”

Toscano and her husband like that the SalesVu retail POS is free with a valuable management portal.

“I like that I can make changes from home and have emails regarding all of my sales even when I’m not at the store; SalesVu is great,” said Toscano.

Since adopting SalesVu, Niner Empire has been able to put their store online and keep all of their inventory together.

“They have answered my questions when I call or email them,” said Toscano. “Their customer service is great!”

SalesVu iPad POS System beats other solutions at The Clay Purl

Posted by salesvu

The Clay Purl (CP) is a small yarn and pottery shop in Nashville, Indiana. CP sells high quality yarns and supplies for fiber artists, offers classes and workshops and dyes their own yarns. Additionally, they carry Paul Hayes Pottery.

Owner Michele Hayes came across SalesVu while checking out different solutions. Previously, she was using a Sam’s Club cash register and spiral notebook as her POS system. She had just purchased an iPad, so an iPad POS seemed like the natural next move. Hayes said she was tired of the “un-understandable” fees being charged by the bank, so she thought to look into mobile options. While researching, she found another yarn shop that uses the SalesVu POS system, contacted them and was strongly advised to try it out.

“I wanted to spend the money on product, not software that would be out of date in a few months,” said Hayes.

An iPad POS became crucial for The Clay Purl as they plan on doing off-location sales in the future, are in need of inventory control and want to eventually offer products online.

“I wanted to get the big cash register off the counter,” said Hayes.

Between reviews, customer service, app features and recommendations, Hayes decided to adopt SalesVu’s retail POS.

“I love the simplicity; it is so easy to use,” said Hayes. “I love the reports and being able to look at them even if I am away from the shop!”

Why L.A.’s den.m.bar Chose to Use SalesVu iPad POS System Over Other Solutions

Posted by salesvu

The Company

Den.m.bar (dmb) is a custom denim workshop located in the heart of Los Angeles’ Fashion District that creates jeans, ties, clutches, wallets and a variety of denim accessories. Dmb creates tailor-made-to-order denim for men and women using traditional denim craft techniques. Dmb believes that there are three essential components to owning the finest denim: quality material, good fit and personal style. According to den.m.bar Owner Derek Yip, each stitch is stitched for durability and designed to reflect their principles of timeless traditional denim apparel.

“While doing everything by hand takes time and costs a bit more, each piece is crafted with some serious TLC,” said Yip. “ We take pride in our work and because of that, we have the utmost attention to detail on our craftsmanship.”

The Needs

A retail POS system was essential for dmb because they needed a way to process credit cards anywhere they go, whether it be events, fairs or pop-up shops.

“Having a mobile POS system helps us tremendously,” said Yip.

The SalesVu Decision

When looking into iPad POS solutions, den.m.bar considered SalesVu, Square, Shopkeep, GoPayment and PayPal. Yip said dmb briefly tried to use Square POS but switched to SalesVu when they discovered the depth of features.

“After checking out other POS systems, SalesVu had the best transaction fee pricing, a lot of functions that other systems didn’t offer and most of all, there was no monthly fee if we passed the monthly minimum requirement,” said Yip.

Den.m.bar’s favorite aspect of the SalesVu iPad POS is the ability to see and export customer data and sales reports as well as create customized reports.

“The reason why this is important to us is because with more information on hand, we are able to change our strategy and make our business more efficient,” said Yip.

The Results

SalesVu has helped dmb by providing a user friendly interface for their sales team.

“SalesVu has streamlined the method of processing orders and made it super easy to gather useful data for market research,” said Yip.

Den.m.bar has saved a significant amount of money between not having to pay a monthly fee and having a lower transaction fee.

All Zen Boutique Considers SalesVu iPad POS System “a Blessing” for Inventory Tracking, Quickbooks and much more

Posted by salesvu

All Zen Boutique (AZB) is a wellness products boutique that focuses on bringing the comfort and luxury of the spa to you online or at a private venue. AZB is an extension of Owner Nicole Batiste’s holistic health coach practice.

Batiste heard about SalesVu when she was looking for a way to maintain her inventory. She also looked into QuickBooks and Microsoft but both were thousands of dollars.

“I considered them too expensive for a small business like mine,” said Batiste.

Batiste has also used PayPal and Intuit GoPayment.

“I chose SalesVu because it offered the whole POS system, it was more cost effective and you can start small and grow so the scalability of the system is perfect,” said Batiste. “I love that it has a small barcode reader that works with the system and most importantly, it’s portable!”

AZB needs an iPad POS because it involves private venues, events and online sales.

“I do not have a storefront just yet so SalesVu has been a blessing,” said Batiste.

When asked what her favorite feature is, she said “the whole system!”

“I love that I can sync with my QuickBooks online account, the fact that I can maintain my inventory, generate orders and look more professional with my barcode scanner as I’m ringing up client purchases,” said Batiste. “There’s so much I can do with this system.”

Inventory, ECommerce Website and Employee Management are Essential at Juice Junkies

Posted by salesvu

Juice Junkies

Juice Junkies (JJ) has arrived! JJ is a raw, organic juice bar that serves cold, pressured juices that are bottled in-house. They also serve superfood smoothies as well as raw and vegan food, all made on location and packaged to go.

SalesVu is Owner Hillary Biediger’s first mPOS.

“I’ve used Aloha and Squirrel in other businesses at which I’ve worked,” said Biediger. “I didn’t like them.”

She also considered Square and POS Lavu. Biediger liked SalesVu because there was no major start up cost, just the cost of hardware and extra credit cards swipers. The transaction fees were also appealing to her.

“[SalesVu] is a full POS solution: inventory, online ordering, employee clock-in and clock-out,” said Biediger. “It has everything you need to run a small business.”

An iPad POS was important for JJ because it takes up less space and looks nice and clean.

“My main reason for using a mobile POS is that the parking lot at my store is limited, so I would like to be able to run my product out to my customers and use my iPod Touch and swipe their credit card so they can be on their way..FAST,” said Biediger.

Biediger likes how easy it is to change a product or price on the computer and have it immediately updated on the devices.

“I like online ordering; I also like how easy it is to use SalesVu,” said Biediger. “This will make training employees so much easier!”

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.”
