I set up a customer with vend to manage his retail sales at a dry cleaner/laundry service. He needed software that was easy to use and quickly process orders.
  • selecting products
  • printing receipts
  • finding repeat customers
  • It would be nice to have alternate ways to adjust prices
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.
  • Good breakdown of categories and variations
  • finding repeat customers quickly and accurately
  • applying the correct price and printing receipts
  • For a small business, it was important to keep the cost low
Not much support needed but they were fast and helpful when it was.
Premium support not needed because the product works well without many issues.

We use Vend in a retail environment, with full inventory synchronization to our website, wholesale backend, and third-party marketplaces.
  • Retail sales
  • Inventory management
  • Sales and promotions
  • Reporting
  • Tedious product search
For any retail store that needs to sync their inventory with other platforms, or that needs to sell brick & mortar AND online, Vend works great. They have their own e-commerce option for those starting fresh. For those selling subscriptions, packages, tickets, or other non-retail items, there are more specific products available on the market.
  • 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.
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.
