Attitude POSitive, a leading provider of Point of Sale (POS), inventory management and time clock software for the retail and hospitality industries, today launched its latest version of AccuPOS Retail Point of Sale (POS) software. The new version, AccuPOS Retail 2008, includes powerful new features that help small and mid-market retailers streamline sales and back-office processes, and offer more targeted customer incentives.

"With AccuPOS Retail 2008, retailers gain more control over their business, while spending less time in the back office and more time on their customers," said Zion Shina, CEO of Attitude POSitive, Inc. "Small business retailers need affordable and reliable POS solutions that take the guesswork out of the sales and inventory process and keep them focused on the actual sale. They need easy-to-use tools that extend far beyond the cash register - from tracking inventory and customers to paying employees. We've been perfecting AccuPOS Retail since 1999, and we're proud to say this new version is unmatched in the industry in terms of performance, ease-of-use, compatibility with popular accounting programs, security and reliability."

"We can spend more time doing what we do, instead of worrying about accounting, now that we use AccuPOS, our QuickBooks compatible software," said Ty Bittner, owner of Mabbettsville Market of Millbrook, NY.

Designed to be faster and easier than a cash register, AccuPOS Retail gives small-to-medium retailers more control over their business with the only solution that separates the front-end POS functions with the back-end accounting functions, providing a much cleaner, secure and more detailed accounting process. Unlike other POS software, AccuPOS is a pure POS solution, protecting critical financial information more effectively. AccuPOS only collects sales data and populates the accounting program, ensuring that all inventory, sales and customer data are rightfully located in a central place, the accounting program. This eliminates the many accounting duplication errors common with other POS software.

It offers a rapid 2-3 keystroke sales process to help increase customer and employee satisfaction, and includes easy drag-n-drop set-up and 'must-have' features for the small and mid-market retail and hospitality industries, such as multiple security options, multi-site support, custom buttons, touch screen and scanner compatible, credit card possessing with the processor of your choice, customer tracking, barcode printing, remote printing and reporting, gift cards, and more.

"AccuPOS means I can take advantage of all the features of Peachtree I was not using before. By managing my inventory, vendors and margin reports in the same place, I can arrive each morning, turn on Peachtree and see exactly what is happening with my store," said Merlin Miller, controller, Shipshe Casuals of Shipshewana, IN.
