Intuit, the maker of QuickBooks, is beta-testing a smaller-scale version of their Point of Sale module. Bearing the straightforward name of QuickBooks Point of Sale Simple v1, the program is designed for owners of retail stores with one location (note: you can probably use this if your retail store is online, too). The module replaces your cash register and credit card terminal, combining the tools you need into one streamlined system for processing purchases and transmitting the banking information electronically.
I presume that other value-add of this service is that it will simultaneously track the customer information, if obtained, sales receipts and inventory changes into your QuickBooks records as well.
Interested retailers have to apply online to be considered for beta testing. If selected, you will be asked to:
- Start testing in the next few weeks
- Provide data files and logs when requested
- Install the product (desktop products) or access the product (web-based products) and use it
- Submit bug reports at the tester website
- Complete specific testing tasks through Fall 2008
To apply, submit your online application by Sunday, June 29, 2008. Apply here: http://beta.intuit.com/signup/testapp.cfm?id=260&refsrc=I285
If you're selected and allowed to share the experience, let me know!
