Watch today's sales as they come in, scan a barcode to check an item's price and stock, change prices, count stock, start purchase orders and run your reports, from the sales floor, the stockroom or wherever you are. Changes go straight into your store's own POS data, and each user sees only what their POS role allows.

That service uses OpenAI to match your question with the right data and help documents, and Google Gemini to write the answer, so your question and the store data needed to answer it are sent to these providers. AdvEnt AI can make mistakes, so check important figures. SIGN-IN AND SUPPORT • Open the app with Face ID or Touch ID and stay signed in for up to 30 days • Store users sign in with their user ID and password, or a PIN • Switch between stores, and star a default store to open it right after sign-in • Messages from AdvEnt support, with push notifications • Help documents and videos • Light and dark mode A STORE ACCOUNT IS REQUIRED AdvEntLite works only with stores that run AdvEntPOS 9, AdvEntPOS 10 or AdvEntRetail and have AdvEntLite enabled. Sign in with your AdvEntPOS owner account, or with the retailer code and user name your AdvEntRetail administrator gave you. AdvEntPOS owners can also create an account in the app; your POS provider then links your stores to it. To get access, contact your AdvEntPOS provider or Sypram Software at www.adventpos.com. The features you see depend on your store's setup and your user role. Label printing, invoice reading, Web Office reports and AdvEnt AI must be set up for your store.
