    Lavu
    For a small company with little inventory, Lavu is a great simple POS system. For a larger company or a company where items are always changing, I would not recommend Lavu as more transactions increases room for error and ultimately takes away the time one doesn't have to figure out how to reconcile something. Customer service is not always able to fix the problem right away and can take months getting back to you on the reasoning behind a discrepancy in reports.

    Pros
    FloristWare
    • The reporting tool is powerful - provided the product categories and sales accounts have been well thought through. The fixed reports have been intuitively created; but the export feature makes them even more powerful, so as to be tailor made for the individual business.
    • The marketing tools campaign builders, fundraisers, advertising analyzers, etc. are effective and have brought us business we would otherwise not have seen, and saved us money we would otherwise have thrown at the wrong advertisers. Customer data can be pulled and sorted in a multitude of ways, depending on the purpose. We use the marketing tools routinely.
    • The financial tools make my life easier. Need to file and pay sales tax? A Sales Report Summary for any date range instantly gives gross sales, taxable sales, sales tax due. Need a current inventory report? A push-button report is generated, by product category. Need to know how this month's sales compare to the same month last year? Not a problem.

    • The Lavu system is incredibly easy to use in both front and back of house operations. The format of both sides is very intuitive.
    • Lavu makes it very easy to add real life application to teaching inventory control, schedule control, etc.
    • The fact that it is cloud based makes life much easier. I can make changes on the fly and they update very quickly.

    Cons
    FloristWare
    • I would like to see the ability to save work and continue later (as in pause order entering).
    • I would like to see in the future a more advanced routing module.

    • Split check credit card transactions, seem to have issues with some of the checks not closing out properly or being charged correctly
    • Servers being allowed to run server summary even though they have unpaid checks (not supposed to happen)
    • Have had the system go out on a weekend and took 20 plus minutes to get back online
    • Calling the help desk on the weekend is a joke, takes 45 to 90 minutes to get help

    Square has a simpler interface but lower quality reporting for accountants.
