Clover is a user-friendly point-of-sale (POS) system designed for small to medium businesses, offering a range of software and hardware tailored to different industries, from retail to restaurants. While not the most affordable, its diverse payment partners make it a reliable choice. Developed by Clover Network Inc., a First Data Corporation subsidiary, Clover POS delivers a comprehensive solution for payment processing, inventory management, and sales tracking.

Clover POS streamlines workforce operations with its employee management features, allowing for easy role-based permissions, team performance assessments, and employee rewards. Its Time Clock tool ensures precise tracking of employee hours. For business insights, Clover provides real-time sales data, employee-based sales tracking, and detailed reports, making it simple to pinpoint bestselling items and monthly sales patterns. Those needing assistance can enlist an SMB CompuCom professional for on-site setup and training.

Clover’s comprehensive solution seamlessly blends hardware and software elements to cater to diverse business needs. Users have the flexibility to choose from a variety of equipment, ranging from mobile readers to handheld and countertop devices. These can be further complemented with additional accessories, including scanners and printers. On the software front, businesses can customize their Clover system, picking features and functionalities that align with their operational requirements. Regardless of the chosen configuration, each system comes equipped with intrinsic capabilities for employee management, customer engagement, and detailed tracking and reporting. This integration ensures businesses can evolve and expand effortlessly, making Clover a strategic partner in growth.

The POS system’s capabilities can be extended using integrations. That means you can customize the software’s functionality to your liking. You’ll find plenty of integrations at the Clover App Market. Applications like Homebase’s Time Clock, Gusto, Qualia, QuickBooks, Digital Loyalty, Jazz HR, and DAVO, among others, can be acquired. Some integrations are free, but you’ll need a subscription for others.

Clover’s software is very intuitive to use and has a sleek, modern appearance. Even though it has several features, they are laid out in a straightforward manner to ensure the user is capable of navigating the system effectively. I especially appreciated the ease with which inventory can be added into the POS to allow for tracking, as well as the ability to offer print, electronic, or both types of receipts to customers. The receipts themselves are professional in appearance and easily customizable.

The software setup is straightforward, especially with the dedicated personalized concierge support. This can include training on hardware, importing inventory, setting up receipts with the user’s business logo, and assistance with various apps and integrations supported by Clover. The Clover website also offers quick start guides with detailed information that the user can refer to.
