Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros I'm a user of MicroBiz for more than twenty years and its format is familiar to each version with modern media options such as remote access. Great order management capabilities. We use for phone orders, deliveries, layaways, special orders, and service work. We look at a lot of cloud POS systems and MicroBiz has a unique combo of an easy-to-use POS register and some good order management workflow. The reporting is also good. Reports have a lot of filters ability to be customized. We run a garden supplies store, and MicroBiz is working great for us. We like the ability to have customer based pricing tiers allowing us to charge different prices on the same product for the same customer. We also use the credit account feature that allows us to charge purchased to a house account and send an AR statement at the end of the month. The software is very easy to use and employees grasp how to use it very quickly. Graphs and pie charts gives you quick access to income and profit and are very useful for reviewing the performances of multiple stores (I have 5). Fantastic value for money. Very responsive and highly accurate customer support. Cons I cannot slight anything about MicroBiz because they have supported me throughout all my accounting needs. It would be great if there were more custom fields that could be added to product records. Receipts and invoices are missing bar codes, so to do a return of a transaction you need to enter the transaction number. It would be if the system would remember the filter setting on the reports that we use the most. We wish that there was more flexibility designing the receipt. There is some ability to customize it but we wanted to copy our old receipt. Also to import products and customers from out old system, we needed to cut and paste the date from t=our old system into a CSV template provided by MicroBiz. We wished that the system would import data from the files exported from our old system. This took a little extra time. Very little, nothing which springs to mind. I could not find a way to compare the total daily sales of a store over the course of a month.	Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Very patience and vivid explaining. Was helpful in guiding me through the steps of fixing the network. Gave me ideas to fix the network. Was sharing and caring. Was not rude or in a hurry. Got a very good experience with Travis . Need more help like his for the business companies So far everyone has been very helpful, from sales to customer support and tech support. Also Nish did a good job. Fast response during set-up process. Onboarding was really easy and Nish helped me out (great knowledge), nice customer service, really nice software. The POS is built for liquor store so it has many awesome features. Easy to use interface. Good onboarding experience. Thanks Divy. Cons No cons Travis was helpful was patient in listening to me and did not hurry in his task. Travis got a lot of patience and was not rude in talking to me. He had very good listening skills did not interrupt me None so far. None. N/A. Everything is good expect I needed some help with the reports but they took care of it.
