That being said, retailers and retail stores are the main beneficiaries of LivePOS software. Features provided allow for detailed and customized retail management to ensure more efficient sales processes.

Online Dashboard

This online dashboard allows for retailers and other users to see not only the store side of things, but the backend which is called the admin site. This store portion of the software only works on a Windows-based computer. The backend can be accessed on any device with access to the internet as it is completely web-based. You are able to view a number of important data on this dashboard to better run your business. You are able to view sales, inventory management, adjust pricing, run reports, participate in online chats between locations, run payroll, add employees, view real-time reporting, and perform data analytics.

Longer Contract Lengths

When it comes to contract lengths in the POS system industry, the most a customer can hope for is a month-to-month payment plan. Unfortunately, LivePOS only offers more expensive month-to-month payment plans and instead offers cheaper yearly contracts. Longer contract lengths mean customer will either not be able to cancel or have to pay a fee to get out of the contract

Missing Information

An extremely important part of any POS service is its ability to integrate to other services (like accounting software, e-Commerce integration, email marketing, etc.). LivePOS does not currently provide information concerning its integrations on its website. Hopefully the company is compatible and does offer integrations. If not, that will be a big problem for potential POS customers.
