<br>
I have a questions regarding gift shop sales software for small museums. =
Right
now we're using Register Link's SellWise 2000 but it doesn't do =
admissions and
requires extra paperwork every day. I checked the Museum-L archives and =
came up
with TAM Retail and GoldMine Plus. <br>
<br>
We are three small historic house museums looking for a gift shop =
software that
will handle both admissions (single and group) and gift shop sales. It =
would be
nice if it was relatively easy to use and was relatively inexpensive. Do =
you
have any suggestions other than TAM and GoldMine? If you've used =
GoldMine or
TAM Retail, how did you like it? How expensive was TAM?<br>
<br>
Thanks for the help.<br>
