Lightning Online

Very good online stock management software. It doesn't offer e-mail support, but the livechat and telephone support are perfect.

PROS

It's easy to manage stock and control unsold items with this software. It offers detailed sales reports.

CONS

Its operation depends on the availability of the Internet connection.

Vendor Response

Henri: Thank you very much. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us feedback. Best Regards,

Liquor store pos best I’ve seen

Immaculate company!!! Impressive software!!! Total retail solutions!!!( remember they will add what you ask for but you have to be reasonable)

PROS

1. Allows you to make suggestions and they add a feature in to allow your suggestions to become reality

CONS

That I have to give a review and everyone will know what a great pos system this is that my competitors might get it and be on the same platform as me which would make it easier for them as it is for me.

Reason for choosing Lightning Online

I don’t really want to share this but I think it’s being selfish, I think this is hands down the best investment anyone in retail industry can make, the reason I didn’t want to share is because I don’t want anyone to have to same advantage I have using this system, Easy to use, customer service, better quality product, time to learn, time to spend inputting invoices, adding products, editing, updating inventory, this list will go on and on because they are really the elite retail pos company out there.

Reasons for switching to Lightning Online

The system was outdated and there was no more upgrades. Contacted multiple software companies And did multiple demos, lightningonline is hands down the best of all demos I’ve done

Outside Sales

PROS

Looks sexy but I found it a little more difficult to navigate at times. It is intuitive and decisions are easier.

CONS

Struggled with connectivity issues but not all the software's fault. Didn't get the outside app support I got with several of the others.

Great POS Program

Great experience. Buying a program is stressful with so many options. The staff at Lightning made it easy.

PROS

Actually, I like the customer service the most. They are nice, knowledgeable and very professional. I can call and actually speak to a real person.

CONS

Can't think of anything. I have not had any problems.

Reason for choosing Lightning Online

First, because I did not have to email, then schedule an appointment days away, and I really appreciated [sensitive content hidden]'s sale. It was not the hard sell drama that has become the norm. He answered every question and helped with my set up. This is a great company. Every employee that I have spoken to has been nice and know their product!

Vendor Response

Thank you Valerie. We appreciate the opportunity to service your business. Thanks again!

PROS

Lightening POS is most useful in my day to day operations in running sales, reports & inventory

One downside is that it is internet hosted so when internet is out so is the retail system.
