    While attempting to intergrade a new payment processing company, I could not have been more pleased with the service and assistance I received from support team. Team treated me with the upmost courtesy and respect that all customer service representatives should deliver to their customers. From start to finish, they were there to assist me the entire way through what should have been an easy setup but were able to overcome all the obstacles that came up along the way. Thank you so much for your help and I am so happy knowing I have their team available to assist me in the future.

    Pros

    Professional, courtesy and respectful to their customers. Representatives go out of their way to assure the problem you are experiencing is resolved 100%

    Cons

    there is not anything I can think of at this time that would classify as a con based on all the positive experiences I have had dealing with their IT department as of late.

    Very Good. It has helped us total our end of day sales and with the breakdown of items and sold we can easily separate the Vatable sales saving time for our accounts team.

    Pros

    The software is easy to use and can be edited to suit your business needs with time saving folders. It also has a very user friendly interface that can be picked up in minutes making it great for getting new employees up to speed

    Cons

    Updating the software was a little tricky but with the help of the telephone team this issue was resolved pretty quickly.

    Response from Epos Now

    Hello Matthew.

    Thank you for leaving us a business review, we take all feedback seriously and use this to help continually learn and grow and provide the best customer service possible.

    The simplicity of our front end system is a real unique selling point making it easy to train staff and adapt for personal / business preference. The backend provides intuitive reporting about
    profitability, revenue, staff or products analysis by location, staff members or across the whole business.This allows you to figure out what¿s working and what isn¿t to make actionable changes which will boost your bottom line.

    I understand that updating the system was a little tricky, I'm pleased to hear that our award winning support staff were able to support you through this.

    If you wish to provide any additional feedback please email [email protected]

    Kind Regards
    James

    Difficult implementation, but lots of potential

    We are starting feed/retail/animal health products store, and wanted a cloud-based system with more flexibility than the dinosaur server-based systems typically used in our industry. We asked a TON of questions, demoed multiple systems, and decided Epos Now was the best fit; we've had the system for 4 months. Implementation was rough, to say the least. We were told customer service was based out of North Carolina; however, most of the reps we've talked to are very British. Nothing against Britts, but lingo is different, business is different, time zones are different- all making for minor challenges that we were not anticipating. Our implementation manager hung up on us mid-call when she had to go catch her train. We were instructed to enter products one way, then told we had to delete everything we'd entered (DAYS of work) and do it all over again. It cannot accept payments over $, which matters if you sell a large amount of product or invoice monthly. It is weight integrated, and when I was doing my initial inquisitions, made it clear that we would sell feed/seed in ounces, pounds, and tons with decimal values; the system only can measure in kilograms, which is not practical for most US applications. Manager overrides require the sales associate to log-out and the manager to log-in; an override code would be so much more efficient. However, when you actually have a client in front of you for a simple transaction, the transactions are smooth and easy. The sales interface is very user-friendly. It works great in the remote setting for pop-up shops. It was not expensive. The apps are interesting- it's nice that it makes the basic system very affordable and there are many apps available, but it is overwhelming to know which apps I need and how to use them. It could also potentially get expensive if you added many apps. As a young company, they are motivated and do continually work to improve the product and add frequent updates; however, we were told some features were a part of the system, but after purchasing the system were told that they would be available in the 'next update'. After about 2 months, we had a serious discussion about ditching this system and switching to another. We ultimately decided to stay with this system, accepting that all systems had limitations, and crossing our fingers that the worst was over. It does appear that the worst is over; however, we've only been going at this for 4 months, so ultimately time will tell.

    Pros

    Sales interface and usability for transactions
    Overall look and style of equipment and graphics
    Price for value
    Mobility and Flexibility

    Cons

    Misleading information during demo/search process
    Unreliable support during implementation
    Lack of standard features and functions- units of measurement, limit on dollar amounts, etc
    Confusion regarding which features are/not available via apps

    EPOs Back Office set up from the begining .

    Reviewed on 2017/09/23

    Pros

    On Wednesday 20th September 2017 I was having some problems trying to log in to the back Office on our EPOs till.
    I phoned the support line in the morning & was connected to a 1st line support Agent.
    I explained the problem & it was agreed that she would phone me back at 4pm to help resolve the problem.
    We have recently changed company names over & there had been a mix up about which account etc. was still active ( our fault ).
    she phoned at 4pm prompt then kindly spent the next 2 hours or so helping me re install EPOs back office again as the one we had been using was now locked.
    I explained to her that I needed to get the new programme running as we opened again at 9am on the 20th & we needed the system up & running.
    Just to summarize as it would take to long to explain she was exceptional in the very cool, calm & professional manner in which she helped me resolve this issue. I was getting a little stressed as this was put on me last minute but she explained the process step by step in a very friendly & understanding manner.
    Anything she wasn't sure about in the process she asked for advice from her team & at one point she kindly got another member of her team to help also.
    Its vary rare when you deal with telephone help lines that everything you ask for happens but I can honestly say that she went above & beyond to help me which was really appreciated & I was able to set up the new Back Office system in time for us to be able to trade again in the next morning.
    she is a prime example of how to get a good end result for both parties in & limited time scale in very difficult & testing situation.
    She is an asset to your team & I hope she receives the recognition she deserves.
