Overall Satisfaction with Retail Pro 9

As a retail IT consultant i worked on various retail point of sale solution, none of the solutions has as rich functionality as Retail Pro. I am able to manage POS, Purchase, Transfers, Customer Locality, Customer Relationship, Employees, Promotion and auto replenishment from this single solution.

Retail Pro helped me implement mobile POS, with solution called Retail Pro PRISM. Hosted in our in-house server we are able to achieve high performance with minimal investment. This solution helps us track inventory real time also it is very simple to roll out promotions to all out stores.

Finally this solution is so easy to customize, this helps us implement a few functionalities that are very specific to our business processes.

Even though we are facing issues in handling Serial Numbers and some other part. We are happy with the overall performance of the system and the network of support provided by Retail Pro.


  • Stable and reliable (we never faced any issue with the data).
  • Handling promotions is easy.
  • Easy reports.
  • Retail Pro's support network is strong. We get support in all the regions.
  • Serial number tracking and reporting.

  • I dont have any specific report on ROI, but we are able to raise from 8% growth year on year to 14%. Retail pro helped us manage our 50+ locations efficiently with minimum resources.
Centralized control of stores and we are able to manage different taxes, promotions based on the region. With more than 200 prices retail pro help us manage different prices for an item.
