Big news: The QuickBooks POS system will be officially discontinued on October 3rd, 2023. The popular accounting software company started ceasing sales of its software to new customers back in February 2023. As a result, millions of QuickBooks customers must now make a choice: Which POS system should they transition to next?
One top choice is NCR Counterpoint, which provides much of the same solutions as QuickBooks along with additional elevated features. Even better, former QuickBooks customers can integrate their QuickBooks accounting software directly into the Counterpoint POS platform to avoid making any changes.

What QuickBooks Users Need to Know

Organizations that wait to seek out a new POS solution risk experiencing a disruption in their operations – as well as a hit to their reputation. It’s imperative to take a proactive approach so customers and internal teams alike can continue to have a seamless experience.
What to Look for in a POS System
You know you have to make the POS switch – but where do you start? There are a few different factors to consider when shopping for the perfect fit for your company.
1. Inventory Management
Proper inventory management is essential for any kind of retail business. However, the right POS system does much more than track your inventory. The best POS systems allow you to perform such tasks as transferring stock across stores, grouping products by customizable tags and receiving purchase orders.
2. Targeted Marketing
POS systems should connect you with your customers and build more engaging relationships with them. Cutting-edge POS software allows you to collect customer data and contact information, which you can leverage to send out targeted marketing campaigns that are relevant to them.
3. Reporting and Analytics
Receiving reports and analytics on your business’s performance helps you make more informed decisions that relate directly to your revenue and growth. Look for a POS system that creates custom reports on your top-selling products, lowest-selling products, most popular brands and online vs. in-store sales.
4. Integration Options
Lastly, getting a new POS system doesn’t mean you have to lose programs you already use and love. For instance, NCR Counterpoint allows you to integrate with your eCommerce store, whether that’s on Shopify, WooCommerce or Big Commerce. Centralize your sales the way you like.
