User Testimonials
	Chromis POS	Vend
Likelihood to Recommend	Open Source No answers on this topic	Vend Vend was great fit for this dry cleaner/laundry that had high traffic volume with customers stopping in before and after work. Things need to be done quickly. Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review

Support Rating	Open Source No answers on this topic	Vend Not much support needed but they were fast and helpful when it was. Incentivized John Dykstra Small Business Owner Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Open Source No answers on this topic	Vend Vend is much more capable than Square POS for product management and inventory control. ShopKeep is fairly similar to Vend but is a more closed ecosystem with fewer third-party integrations and less frequent updates. Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
Return on Investment	Open Source No answers on this topic	Vend Correct inventory levels has been a game-changer. We use to oversell because of inconsistencies between POS and e-commerce sales. The built-in loyalty program has been very useful and was much more appealing to customers than we originally predicted. Incentivized Sander Kallshian Owner Read full review
