"We love the ability to track our inventory and get sales reports instantly online from any location. The ease of getting all of the information is incredible! We can track daily sales and set up employee scheduling at a moment's notice," - Kyle Knapton from Barnstormer Winery. “We love the fact that we can open a tab from one iPad POS, edit it on another, and collect payment on a third. We also save on printer costs because all the iPads can print to the same receipt, kitchen, or bar printers and intelligently know what to print to each one. SalesVu allows us to manage and close multiple shifts per day, adjust tips at the end of each shift, have different employees and bartenders ring-up tickets under separate logins, and even split checks for large parties.” - Marissa Abramson, Bar Manager, Dolce Vita "At the end of the day, it is a simple five-minute operation to synchronize sales, check employee hours and look at our inventory. SalesVu is a great asset in helping us keep track!” - Geza Csuros, Owner, The Lilly Pad Village “SalesVu's iPhone and iPad POS software are a life saver for my business! It allows us track our customers' history and payments, configure and send invoices right from a smartphone, automate billing for clients who are on a monthly subscription plan, track sales over time by type of service or by employee, and get the same rate whether we swipe or manually type our clients' credit cards.” - Dave Manzer, Public Relations "SalesVu is a full POS system, inventory, online ordering, employee clock-in and clock-out. It has everything you need to run a small business" - Hillary Biediger from Juice Junkies.
