Christa, You may want to check out Quickbooks POS. It is made by the same people, so integration is not a problem. We just switched over in our store and it works great. It has made inventory tracking, ordering, sales, etc much easier (after the learning curve of course). Our contact was Richard Hunter. His information is: QuickBooks Retail Solutions Group 2800 E. Commerce Place Tucson, AZ., 85706 (800) 498 7401 ext. 29105 (520) 901 3000 ext. 29105 I just recommend that you do the switch over to the POS during one of your slow periods so that you can work out the kinks. Hope this helps, good luck. Rick Olsen Director of Operations & Curator Indiana Railway Museum P.O.

It works with Quickbooks and is a touchscreen computer which is nice since some of our volunteers are older and rarely use computers. It uses barcodes and a handheld scanner. We have been using this system for about 2 yrs and our books are much more accurate now. If you have any questions please feel free to email me off the listserv.
