VendHQ

Vend has many features tailored to retail stores. You can integrate with most popular payment processors, such as PayPal, and take advantage of mobile POS terminals. Vend supports custom payment types, split payments, and deep reporting to give you a clear overview of your business health. Finally, it has advanced uncommon features such as layaway and on-account payments.

CRM

Vend comes complete with a customer relationship management solution. Add new customers at checkout or upload a list of current customers to get a clear picture of the number of visits, lifetime spend, and account balance.

You can segment customers in your database and reward the most loyal ones, or issue store credit on refunds. Finally, easily export all your customers and upload them to your email marketing tools to send targeted messages.

Inventory management

Proper inventory management can make or break a retail store. Vend gives retailers all the tools they need. Create, import, and print bar codes and labels, create or duplicate product variants with a click, and set custom reorder levels so you’ll always be on top of your inventory.

Deep reporting features

Vend reporting is customizable so you can see the information you care about at a glance. You can then drill down to identify opportunities or problems in your business. Use this information to find your best customers, product lines, or product line seasonality.

Vend is compatible with many systems, so your current setup may be all you need to get up and running. If not, you can choose from its PC, Mac, or iPad bundle which can be purchased through POS Portal. It comes with a cash drawer, scanner, and receipt printer. There are also optional pieces of equipment such as counter top stands and label printers.

Vend doesn’t integrate with many other tools but it has carefully selected the partners it works with. You can connect with accounting tools like Xero and Quickbooks. Extend the platform with employee scheduling tools like Deputy, ecommerce integrations with Shopify, and multi-channel management tools like Stitch Labs. For the most part, Vend is a self-contained solution so the need for integrations is minimal, but if you want Vend to be an all in one business management solution, the integrations are a must.

Vend has a modern interface that makes it easy to set up and use the software. Whether this is your first POS system or one of many you’ve used, you’ll feel right at home within a few hours. Many users find the interface is easy to learn and use daily.
