If you're a retailerВ or a ProAdvisor who supports QBPOS, you're probably asking what you should do in regard to QBPOS V12.В There is some good news here. As for now, the fact that we have a new desktop version of QuickBooks Point-of-Sale makes me very happy. But hopefully, itВ will get them resolved sooner rather than later. I certainly wish it had included some more new featuresВ and fixed a few of the pesky workflow issues. Overall, I'm very pleased with the new version. We can only hope that Intuit recognizes the need and potential for such enhancements in the future. I agree that such multi-function capabilities for an otherwise expensive physical inventory scanner would be nice. Those products could have been used not only for physical inventory counts, but also as barcode readers for mobile sales receipt scanning and product receiving. In discussing this functionality with Murph, he didn't understand why Intuit had not chosen to support Cipherlabs' products that worked either via blue-toothВ or the local-area-network. They upload a copy of your inventory, allowing you to conduct counts and then batch upload those counts back into QBPOS. This new version of QuickBooks Point-of-Sale is certified for use with Cipherlab's 80 physical inventory scanners.В TheВ scanners work essentially in the same way as the Metrologic units. V18 has also added support for a new Physical Inventory Scanner.В The Metrologic (Optimus) scanners previously used were discontinued a few years back, and people couldn't purchase inventory scanners to work with QBPOS.

While QuickBooks Point-of-Sale has always been able to run on a laptop that met the equipment specifications of the software, features specific to the Surface Pro like the ability to use the on-screen keyboard simply didnвЂ™t work.Д«ut in trying out QBPOS V18 with my Surface Pro, if I use it in tablet mode ( shown below).

I keep this future enhancementВ on my running wish list, whichВ I give Intuit every time I visit with its people.ДЄs I mentioned earlier, Murph stole a bit of my thunder, but I still have a bit to say about the new optimizationВ of QuickBooks Point-of-Sale V18 for the Microsoft 1 Surface Pro 4. Now if Intuit would only allow different rewards for different customers then we would really have something. The new 'hover-over'В display makes the Rewards program that much easier to use. When customers who had been using QBPOS (Desktop) were introduced to Revel, it became clear there were gaps between the two systems.В Simultaneously, Revel was working to introduce its product to the Enterprise market and closed deals with Cinnabon and Shell.ДЄs a result, Intuit and Revel dissolved almost all aspects of their relationship when it seemed their interests no longer were aligned.В Intuit then set out on a path to reintroduce QuickBooks Point-of-Sale (Desktop) to new retailers, as well as let the community know it wasВ still in the Point-of-Sale business. Not only was this a workhorse of a product, but it had both a price and feature set that was hard to beat during most of that time.Д«ut a few years back, when Intuit saw cloud-based products like CloverВ and Square emerging within the Point-of-Sale market, it entered into a sales and marketing agreement with Revel to offer an iPad-based Point-of-sale system under the name 'QuickBooks Point-of-Sale powered by Revel.'В In contrast to QBPOS, the Revel-based product had the hospitality arena as its core strength.

We'veВ been installing QBPOS since version 2.1. You probably know that a primary focus of my practice has been in the retail spaceВ and our 'go-to'В product during the last 10 years has been QuickBooks Point-of-Sale (Desktop).
