A Robust and Versatile Point of Sale Solution
Reviewed on 2023/04/12
Pros
I like that this software has many benefits, including a wide range of tools for inventory management, customer and employee management, and payment processing integrations. It is highly versatile and suitable for businesses like ours and in various industries. Additionally, the software has a customizable interface that can be tailored to meet the unique needs of each business, providing options for personalized branding and workflows to create a distinct customer experience.
Cons
I have observed that this software has two potential drawbacks. Firstly, its pricing model is based on a monthly subscription fee, which may not be affordable for smaller businesses. Secondly, the software's high level of customization and complexity may make it difficult for some users to set up and configure. Additional training or support may be needed to utilize the software's full capabilities.

KORONA is a very potential POS system for the future!
Reviewed on 2020/06/24
Pros
I have been learning KORONA as my company is planning to move to this POS system. KORONA as first does not seem like a matching POS system for my wholesale company. However, the more I learn to use it, and with the help of awesome customer support, the more I believe this POS system could be a very good fit to many type of business out there. So I love the most about this software is the 24/7 customer service and reporting function that are very easy to use.
Cons
What I don't like is not too big of an issue. It was just the terminology that KORONA used that are not too popular compare to other POS system out there. If KORONA consider to add a function where we can customize the terminology across this system, KORONA will be on fire!!

Pros
I love the hardware. I love the degree of control. I like how simple inventory counts are and I hopeful that it will have profound impact on ordering
Cons
The functionality is not yet ready for washington cannabis. The programming that deals directly with regulation is sort of ad hoc and hasn't worked fully since we bought it. I think it will improve but its difficult to cope with presently

A solid value for the money, with great support
Reviewed on 2023/04/01
A very solid system - and reasonably priced when compared with the other options out there.
A very solid system - and reasonably priced when compared with the other options out there.
Pros
We started from scratch with KORONA POS, having never used a POS system of any kind before. The setup process was pretty seamless - and the training was relatively straightforward. What really makes this POS stand out is the tech support - the team is lightning fast, super responsive, and very patient! I've never had a problem that wasn't solved that same day - sometimes within 30 minutes.
Cons
It would be great to be able to customize reports - though the system comes preloaded with lots of options, I'd love to tweak the parameters or at least rename a few of them for easier use.

I recently spent two days trying to trouble shoot issues with our internet system and trying to get the internet side of things set up correctly. In order to prove to our internet provider it was due to internet system set up issues, the internet provider kept having me to make changes and do tests and then the system would go down, etc... Korona was very patient, immediate to respond, and effective with their responses. They hung in there with me until I could get a static IP address assigned and pushed through to our modem that would work with our credit card machine (which did not come from Korona) that is integrated with the Korona system.
Pros
The customer support is very quick to respond and effective.
Cons
I don't really have any cons yet. Like any system, it takes time to learn it. If I ever had try to do something specific and had troubles figuring it out on my own, I just emailed support and they were very specific with their help and instructions. They never left me floundering.

Best customer service of all times. I worked with many POS systems as an employee and know the frustration you sometimes experience. Now as a employer I value perfect customer service even more.
Korona is very easy to set up and simple to use. For my store an absolute must-have.
Pros
I'm new to the baking business and was very surprised how super simple it was to set up the POS system. Great video explanation through Korona website and absolutely wonderful customer service in case of any questions!
Cons
Korona doesn't integrate with Moneris (yet) which makes it a little more inconvenient especially on a busy day.

Pros
Support is outstanding. They keep adding features. It is easy to use. The back office has a lot of tools to help understand the business and customizing the UI is fairly simple.
Cons
Rental inventory management is immature. Forces me to deal with 2 platforms which is unfortunate. Some of the queries are a bit weak in my opinion. I sometimes want to do AND operations to find products and it will do OR instead. Not as useful as it could be.

The inventory tracking, ease of adding products, being able to track how fast things sell, which hours are busiest.
Cons
It's changed how the shelf labels appear when they are printed, now the only choices are to have the price large enough to read or the product name big enough to read. It used to be both.

Thank you very much for your review. We are sorry to hear that you didn't like the new label changes. We will address this with the product team and come up with a solution.

Flexible, Scalable, and Integrated POS
Reviewed on 2015/10/08
Pros
I love that this software is flexible enough to conform to any business workflow. Most of the popular cloud based point of sale solutions that I have tried are very rigid in their ability to adapt to your needs. It is cloud based so we have been able to integrate it with our Digital Signage solutions for automatic menu updates from Korona's inventory management tool.
All features that I have requested or changes I have requested have been integrated into their regular release cycle. This is great because I get to help dictate the features and functions I need. This is something I have never experienced from a cloud POS vendor.
Cons
So far, so good! The parent company is based in Germany but they have a great support team based here in the USA as well.

My husband and I always wanted to open up a small business, it had always been a dream of ours. Therefore we opened up a small party store in our hometown. We knew nothing about business let alone what a POS solution was. A family friend recommended Korona, we signed up for the free trial to give it a try. Both my husband and I are the least tech savvy individuals you will ever meet. But navigating through the terminal is incredibly easy, Jake walked us through how to use the terminal and software and made is so simple for these two old old folks. A lot of the times we don't know how check inventory on certain items. When this happened all we had do is call technical support and they were always there. They are very helpful and quick to respond either by email or phone. They should be sick of my husband and me by now, but they are always so kind and responsive

I recently opened a winery in northern California, I was excited to get operations underway. I had everything ready and set to go besides a point of sale solution. I went online and found a page that said it specialized in wineries, so I downloaded the free trial they offered. After I downloaded they gave me a call a few days later to show me all the features it had and why it was perfect for my winery.
The loyalty program works wonders for me, I have regulars who come in and use the points they have accumulated to buy bottles of wine. Loyalty members also receive an additional 15% off when buying 3 or more bottles. I have always believed in rewarding loyal customers and with Korona I am able to do that and able to keep track of all my members in one easy place
Response from COMBASE
Thank you Brady for your kind words. We are happy to hear that you love using Korona and the loyalty program! It is our pleasure to help you succeed.
