About AntiqueSoft is a leading space rental and point of sale (POS) application that has been developed using the robust Microsoft SQL Server technology. AntiqueSoft along with a combination of various modules and interfaces to other third party applications helps antique malls streamline their business processes, improve customer service and increase sales.		About RetailEdge is an easy to use and feature-rich point of sale (POS) and inventory management software solution for retail businesses. RetailEdge offers multi-location support, credit card processing, website integration, mobile POS, and gift card management capabilities within a suite. The solution supports secure and mobile payments like EMV and Apple Pay and integrates with multiple e-commerce platforms for efficient order processing and price updates. RetailEdge was developed in June of 1989 to provide a powerful, flexible, full-featured POS software and hardware solution at a reasonable price that is easy to install, use, and configure, but also affordable to maintain and run. We strongly believe that a good POS solution, in addition to providing great features for a low price, must be supported well. So we have developed a strong support system that provides a backbone of local resellers and quick access to US-based Tier 3 (highest) level support.

Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I use Antique Soft in my 36,000 sq.ft. antique mall. I also have consignment and new merchandise included in and old general store. This software does so much! It keeps inventory for all vendors and does lots of management reports. I can not say enough good things about the men who answer every call to customer service!! They are professional, caring, friendly and solve my problems. Someone who answers the phone immediately has great value to me! This single handedly is the worst software out there. It is as old as the antiques you sell. It utilized Crystal reports that every other business has moved away from around 2015. I have requested per PA small claims court to be refunded for a program we used 30 days and had issues each of those 30 days for a refund per this request I gave them 10 days to respond or move forward with small claims court which I am preparing to do as no one has gotten back to us. Buyer beware move on and find a system that works with Square where you literally plug in and go NOTHING! Months into this install (on the vendor side) we still don't have a stable, professional Website. The only link vendors have is a non secure IP Address and this after a number of total re-writes!! It really is a POS. Nothing about AntiqueSoft 6.0 that is worthwhile. Nothing so far. I have nothing positive to say about this software. I do not recommend it. Cons Like anything new, there is a learning curve, but this was easy to get started with. It took days to set up with the company having to take over our computer from PA to NY, we needed to get a static IP address, our vendors could never log onto the system remotely, each issue we had (which was daily) remedy was for them to take over our computer which could only be done after hours as this was our only POS. TWe would come back in the morning after the "repair" and a new issue would arise. We, after two weeks, switched to Rose Consignment that works with Square. We literally plugged it in and we have had zero issues. Antiquesoft is still installed on our computer and although we have paid for it we cannot even log on any longer. Customer support hang up on most incoming calls without even talking to them. The Website is unsecured, the mobile usage is very unstable and was the last to be addressed and the layouts are basic if not crude. They need to hire a new group of high school coders. AntiqueSoft 6.0 is a waste of money and time. Our local antique mall just switched to this software and it's been a complete nightmare. Errors errors errors. Members can't get on to use only a few times a week if your lucky stay away from this software My antique shop implemented this software and it has been a total nightmare. The vendor access web page is offline more often than online. The web page is NOT mobile friendly. It's a total spin of the wheel on whether you can access your report(s). When it errors out, there is not even a user friendly error page but a dump of html code that the programmers should be paying attention to.		Pros from Real Users Pros I have been using RetailEdge (RE) for 15 years to help manage my small business. RE is a fantastic database that allows for multi-faceted reports to assist with decision making to manage and grow my business. Need tech support? They are there for you! And yes a real human will be assisting you. You guys are great! RE is always updating their system to accommodate any needs you may want or need and at a reasonable price. So glad I chose your product over other competitors. Thank you :) The soft is easy to use, it is reliable, easy to use, the back office features really amazes me and the support bus on point. Extremely simple to set up and use, customer service very understanding and super fast to response, very well priced, loaded with amazing features, one time payment. Isaac guided me through my mistakes, and he advised me in a professional way until he fixed them. Thank you Isaac. The support and sales teams are responsive. They go above and beyond and the product is constantly evolving based on users' input. There are is not a huge investment and all your data can be exported to Excel. This was a huge influence as I was unsure when starting my business what type of system I would actually need. If I changed my mind I could transfer data. After 10 years I have not changed my mind. Very low monthly fees and great customer service. Easy to learn. Easy to customize to my unique store. Multiple locations all can seen from any location. Support team Is GREAT and fast to return call and questions. Many options available, easy to use, lots of reports to create different type of reports for different task. I love how customizable RE is, their customer support is top notch, and their pricing is unmatched. Plus, it's super easy to use, and has proven reliable for the 5 years I've had it, so far! With 0 experience in using POS software this program was super easy to install, setup, and use! Customer Service is excellent, they answer any questions you have!
