Posted in Loyalty, pos suite on Aug 20, 2020
Pets have places to go and people to see! Just ask any pet owner and they’ll tell you the same!

Posted in pos suite on Jul 02, 2020
If you own a retail store, or have ever worked behind the counter at one, then you know that the checkout register is where the transactions take place. Shoppers exchange their hard-earned money for merchandise that they wish to purchase. They leave with products and a receipt, and your cash register has more money. But if this all that’s taking place before your customers leave your store with bagged goods in hand, then you’re missing out on not just one opportunity, but many.
