Clover entered the POS market in 2012 and has since grown to become one of the most used cloud-based POS. The system is suitable for many types of retailers and restaurants, including cafes, bars, quick service, and others. While Clover POS is web-based, the company offers server-based deployment.

The POS has all the must-have features of a reliable system and more, making it ideal for many business models. Also, Clover is user-friendly, and since it’s cloud-based, you can manage your company(s) from any device.

Inventory Management

Clover makes inventory management a breeze. You can add items individually, by scanning merchandise barcode labels or importing inventory via spreadsheets. Editing a product’s information is simple, and Clover automatically monitors performance.

Reporting

The POS software has built-in reporting for real-time actionable business insights. Businesses can track key metrics and identify trends that may help them boost revenue. The best part is that you can access reports anywhere, anytime with a compatible Internet-enabled device.

Virtual Terminal

The virtual terminal lets you process transactions online. That means you don’t have to be at your terminal to make sales. For example, you can log in to your dashboard from a smartphone to accept payments or process refunds.

Online Ordering

With Clover’s online ordering feature, you can digitize your menu and start receiving, including processing orders from the company website. The POS system integrates with your site and syncs inventory to avoid stock issues. Clover gives you full menu control.

Employee Management

Clover helps you manage and support employees – your most essential resources. With employee features, you can incentivize people, measure individual performance, and control access or permissions. Also, scheduling, clock in or out, tip management, commission distribution, and more are supported.

Clover provides its own POS hardware. The company offers five hardware packages to go with the monthly software fee. These are Station, Mini, Flex, Go, and Station Pro. However, the POS software can launch from any device, such as a Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS.

Most businesses will need a hardware package to get started with Clover. However, you don’t require hardware if all that’s needed is a virtual terminal for processing transactions. Clover also supports several accessories for customizing your POS system. Things like a kitchen printer, weight scale, barcode scanner, printer paper, and so on.

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.
