Hello Ronald,
If you remember my stores had issues with the recent updates where inventory would be off greatly from one day to the next so we went back to an old version and the issue stopped. However, we are at the point in growing our company personally that we need to figure out a few things regarding our POS and inventory tracking and wanted to see where you stand and any ideas you have. We have a shopify website which I know you were working on Shopify integration. Shopify is the third-largest online retailer in the U.S. after Amazon and eBay so they are the platform to focus on. I've been studying what some other POS applications offer and getting your feedback on whether or not you have added any of these in recent updates or possibly are planning to.
1) Our BIGGEST POS issue is the amount of products we have and then the amount of price changes and cost changes we have to make and change for each location. We were doing the one thing you had where for like $20 a month/year or something we could have a master database and upload from there however it honestly didn't work well for us. We could only do like 100 products at a time, sometimes we had thousands of changes to do. Sometimes it would seem to crash, we had issues with it so we stopped using it. Shopify has a POS app that is kind of amazing where since it is an online platform we log in and from any computer you can add or change product information such as pricing, cost, product pictures, etc and then each location would draw from that online server. Is there anyway to ever have a Master Database and each location can pull updates from the database without having to do it the way it has been before? Like I said, for us it would crash or sometimes not download everything. It just never seemed to work flawlessly so I will spend days at one location making product pricing updates and then have to go to my other store just to redo the exact same changes I just did at the first store.
