MyPOS - An excellent choice for POS system

MyPOS is so easy to setup and deploy. The people at TriCity are very knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. They always do their best when presented new business requirements.

PROS

MyPOS is so easy to setup and deploy. The people at TriCity are very knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant to work with. They always do their best when presented new business requirements.

CONS

Coming from MS RMS system, one thing I'm missing is the ability to secure any field/data on the screen and only select user(s) can see them. e.g. Landed cost. But this really depend on your business requirements/needs.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

We work with TriCity for a very long time and their support is second to none. Even we decided to not use their payment gateway partner, they still supported us all the way.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

We went from MS Dynamics RMS (forces me to choose MS Dynamics 365 on the previous question) to MyPOS. Lack of support, functionality after EOL announcement.

Vendor Response

Hi John, thank-you for your review and your kind words. We all appreciate your loyalty and enjoy working with you and your team. I agree that MyPOS Connect's user security functionality is not as granular as RMS was. However, for the specific example of product cost (landed cost, supplier cost, etc.), there is a security setting that enables you to hide all costs for specific users. Please contact our Support team and they can show you how to set this up.

My POS Connect

PROS

I love the feature of the import and export when doing counts, POs, and inventory corrections. The amount of field to get nuanced information when searching is perfect.

CONS

The a couple of problems absolutely have arose over the last 6 months but we have worked past them with the help of the support team. Being that we are in tobacco its kind of a drag that Shopify is the standard of website that it would like us to use.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Being that we have worked with Tri-City for a number of years we decided to keep with them as they are simply the best. RMS is already a dead software and we are trying to be ahead of the curve.

Vendor Response

Hi Alex, Thanks so much for the awesome review! Regarding your Shopify comment, you're right, it is the only "off-the-shelf" eCommerce solution for MyPOS Connect. However, we do have a Web API that will allow you to choose any eCommerce platform you like and then integrate it with our database. Please feel free to reach out to me directly or contact our support team if you would like more information.

Shooter's Choice MyPOS review

Right out of the gate there were many Con's with features we were told were available but really were not or were added as we went. a credit to the support team for helping work out many of these over time, however the original pitch to our team on why to make the switch was it had many features we asked about up front, but in the end they did not. 12 months ago i would have given this program 1 star as we were not happy and very frustrated, but with the continued support and features added weekly over the past 12 months i feel it's rating has grown, with the ability to get better if features keep getting added. We honestly felt the sales team oversold the product and it was not as advertised at the start.

PROS

Easy of install Customer support local and easily available Past experience with the customer support team with RMS Customizable features and reports when requested (some times at an extra cost) search function Spreadsheet conversions Cloud based - offline sales

CONS

missing basic features with-in the product itself, causing you to have to leave the product screen and go run individual reports to find the answer to you questions. Many of these are very basic stuff we've seen in much cheaper programs, things like product on order, last sale date, last receive date or even a basic product report with-in the product you're looking at without having to go back and into 3 other screens to find your answer. Our web-team struggled hard at the start of MyPOS. They were told the API was ready and could do a lot and it didn't, to put it bluntly it was a horrible. Our team actually helped them implement API 2.0. We've run into many errors that were very difficult to understand along the way, many the DEV team would have to dig into it and get back to us days later, was great support, but very hard to deal with as we almost felt like we were the test run of MyPOS on many occasions. If the DEV team doesn't think your request is important enough then your request is ignored unless you pay a fee to implement the item.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

2 main reason. Cost and support. We felt we knew the support team from our pervious system and trusted them to give us the same level of support so we stuck with what they knew.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Are main reason for making the switch was we were told Microsoft was ending all support for RMS in the coming years as well as the API for online was very poor and we as a company wanted to take the next step in the online world so we made the switch to MyPOS

Vendor Response

Hey Trevor, thanks for your input, it's greatly appreciated, although I have to say that this is the first I have heard of your struggles with MyPOS Connect. I want to apologize for any misleading claims during the sales cycle; it's not how we roll. But since I jumped in at the end of your evaluation cycle, I take full responsibility for that. I agree, we did have some challenges launching our API. It needed a lot of tweaking after the initial release. Thanks to you folks and other early adopters of the API, I believe we have ironed out all the wrinkles. And you're right about having to exit from one screen to open another screen. This is a limitation of the UI that we are hoping to solve at some point in the future; even though it has not been a concern for most of our customers. I hope that, in future, you feel comfortable enough to contact me directly if there are any other concerns.

MyPOS for Museums

PROS

MyPOS was relatively simple to implement and functions for all our needs: daily admissions, annual passes, retail sales. Despite there being a huge list of reports to choose from, there were a few reports that we required not listed. The team at Tricity had no problem customizing the reporting to suit our needs. The till functions are pretty intuitive and it has been very easy to train our team.

CONS

The process to enter new product and print tickets can be a bit slow (we don't always have a PO) and it would be helpful if we could batch print barcode labels for a delivery. Shopify integration wasn't as intuitive as other products that I've worked with (ie. Lightspeed), but the customer service team was a huge help in getting things running smoothly.

Vendor Response

Hi Carol, thanks so much for your review. I just thought I'd make a recommendation on a couple of the points you discussed. MyPOS Connect does let you batch print barcode labels for a delivery. You just need to go into your Purchase Order and click on the Print Labels tab. From there you can print labels for all the products on that PO. There is also an optional plug-in available, called the Label Wizard, that gives you even more flexibility for when and how you print barcode labels. Regarding the process to enter new products, I highly recommend that you contact our Support team on that; they can show you a number of ways to make this job easier and quicker.

MyPOS Connect review

Excellent support. With so many different on line and delivery companies, not looking for perfect integration but need smoother methods for inputting, tracking orders from external systems...

PROS

License fee grows with you based on number and actual use- helpful for seasonal and small business. Card machine and on line business integrations. Service! Excellent support.

CONS

There are no hints or self help instructions. While this would be difficult to keep current and is part of their business plan to encourage purchase of support, its not overwhelmingly negative.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

Attentive, local support.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Initially, pricing, looking for local service.

Vendor Response

Hi Channing, thank you so much for your review and your comments on our service and support. I agree that our user documentation could be improved; we are constantly trying to update the manual but it is a never-ending challenge. Regarding self-help instructions, we recently created a series of screencasts that you can access from the Customer Resource page on our website. They weren't available yet when you had your training, so you might not even know they exist. if you have any other specific ideas about how we can improve MyPOS Connect, please don't hesitate to send them to wishlist@tricityretail.com or email me directly.

myPOS Connect

We don't have an online store yet, but are headed in that direction. It is good to know that there is an integrated solution available: MyPOS + Shopify

PROS

Best feature (as compared to our previous system) is Physical Inventory taking. Many of our products are non-inventory (i.e. tickets), and we have a fairly small shop. We hand count on paper when we do our yearly inventory. MyPOS allows you to export your product list to Excel, and arrange the paper count sheets in any order that suits you. You can manually input your QTYs back into Excel and then import the numbers to myPOS. Using Excel saves a lot of time. Our previous system didn't allow flexibility in sorting the list, so entering QTYs after the count was very tedious.

CONS

Our previous system allowed us to have 2 separate programs running: the sales module, and the back office module. We could easily switch between windows, to make sales to customers and then (when there's no customer) do back office tasks. MyPOS Connect doesn't allow that flexibility. My desk is a public facing position, where I do sales + all of the back end work. If a customer wants to make a purchase while I am working in the back end (e.g. creating a PO), I have to close it and navigate to the sales screen when a customer wants to make a purchase. This is the biggest drawback of this program. I feel like I lose a lot of time, navigating between front end and back end, as I try to balance customer service with productivity (in terms of "back office" work).

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

TriCity Retail has been very good to work with. We have been their client 2010. When we needed a new system, they recommended myPOS. They gave us a good demonstration of the product, and we trusted their recommendation. They have given us excellent training, and have been consistently available for helpful advice and customization through out the process. Their human helpdesk is extremely user friendly.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Dynamics RMS is at the end of its life. We needed to find a new system, as the newer Microsoft replacement program was not within our budget.

Vendor Response

Hi Amber, Thank you for your review and especially for the kind words about our support. I agree with you about the inconvenience of not being able to have two instances of the program running on the same workstation; it means that you must exit out of the POS module to perform back office functions (and vice versa). It's partly a result of how the software is licensed. We will definitely bring this discussion to the developers of MyPOS Connect and see if there is a way to rectify this in a future release.

MyPOS Feedback

We are extremly happy with the system and the integrators (TriCity). The system is very stable, user friendly and we are able to customize pretty much everything that we want. The possibilities are endless. They are at the forefront of the technology.

PROS

There is a long list of features that we love but one of the deciding factor was the cloud base system while having an offline redundancy at the store level. If we lose internet we are able to still conduct our activities.

CONS

The interface isn't the most pretty out there.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

MyPOS was much quicker than the other system. With the volume of transactions that we do everyday the speed of the system was the deciding factor.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

The technology of RMS was old and they were doing a big upgrade of their system. The new generation didn't seem to be user friendly. We were anxious that we were not going to be able to run the backend without specialized ressources.

Vendor Response

Hi Phil, Thanks for your review and your kind words. It's very much appreciated. I agree with you; the UI is a bit simplistic. MyPOS Connect was designed this way so that users could switch between a PC monitor with a keyboard and a hand-held tablet with out a keyboard - and they would see the exact same screen design. This eliminates training issues when using two different POS form factors. We are always looking to improve the software; so if you have any ideas for how we could improve the UI, without losing this ability to easily switch between form factors, I would love to hear them - or you can always send your design requests to wishlist@tricityretail.com.

Simple and easy to use!

MyPos helped streamline purcahsing and inventory management. At the same time, the back office gave the administration a lot of access what we needed to log into a store's computer to do.

PROS

The adaptability of the software. There are a lot of customer things that can be done to fit the needs of our organization. At the same time, the program is very simple and easy to use. The transition for our team was seamless.

CONS

The program is a little slow at the till when processing transaction and searching up in our customer database. Our internet connection is fine, but sometimes it take a little longer than we would like to complete some tasks.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

The 3rd party reseller in our area was already dealing with some of our group and they offer great support.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

The system was outdated and support was expiring

Vendor Response

Hi John, Thank you very much for your review. I'm concerned about your comment about speed when accessing your customer database. I know that you have over 400,000 customer records, these are all locally stored on each POS station, so the speed of the internet doesn't come into play here. What does affect the speed is the processing power and amount of RAM memory your POS stations have. The bigger the database, the more power you need. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your options for more powerful workstations.

My POS Connect Review by Tim Stauffer Churchills-Crossings

Overall very satisfied with My POS. It is easy to customize a lot of the features.

PROS

It is very user friendly and integrates well with other apps in our day to day activities. Was a smooth transition.

CONS

Some reports that we used to have do not exist. Also you are unable to modify reports are shuffle columns etc, giving the option of different sorting. It has to be done in a third party app. ie Excel Also the ability to create your own reports is not there. Customer files lack information. The info is in different reports.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

No longer supported by Microsoft due to age

Vendor Response

Hi Tim, thanks very much for your review. You're right, the standard reports do not allow you to drag and drop columns or change groupings, etc. There is an optional Interactive Reports plug-in module that provides this functionality. Please reach out to our support team if you would like it installed. Also, I would like to know more about the customer data you wish to track. The Customer file has extra definable fields we can configure to track whatever customer information you need. Feel free to contact our support team or email me directly with your ideas.

Summary of MyPOS

The experience has been satisfactory because the support has been so good , but we have had to make a lot special processes in order to effectively support my furniture business.

PROS

It does not fail or go down which can create a real problem in the workplace.

CONS

The reports are hard to work with because they don't feed off each other. When investigating you have to come out and go back in to another report to complete the investigation. The up side is the support is fabulous and they are willing to create a special report but up to that point it is challenging. I would have loved a more comprehensive manual of instruction. I feel the one provided did not provide enough detail to explain the features and the HOW TO.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Microsoft was not going to continue to support RMS any longer

Vendor Response

Hi Valerie, thanks for your review and for the positive feedback about our support team. I recognize that the furniture industry poses a few challenges for most POS solutions, including ours. With respect to the reporting, if you need the ability to analyze your data in more depth, one option you have is to use an optional plug-in for MyPOS Connect that will export your database to a separate data warehouse. Once this is set up, you can use any BI tool of your liking to manipulate and analyze your data in detail. If you would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Regarding the manual, it was never meant to be a retail management reference guide. And while we do try to cover inventory control concepts in our training programs, the focus is on how to use the software to overcome your specific operational challenges. I'd like to know more about the specific features you struggle with, perhaps I can find some supporting documents I can share with you.

MyPOS Review

Overall very positive. Big improvement, especially regarding customer service, from our previous provider. Would recommend for any small to medium sized business that cannot afford a custom program as it has almost everything needed. They are also constantly upgrading.

PROS

Love the many reporting options; the ability to program sales and discounts easily; ease in searching for products; integration with excel; ability to integrate with live website for ecommerce (have not used yet); excellent support from Tri City; POS and till process is easy for new staff to learn.

CONS

No accounts payable integration; limited ability to keep notes for customers and suppliers; reports don't sort well (no logic to how the information appears on the report); need a way to highlight most used reports due to the large number of options; need some improvement on inventory count.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

Recommendations from other professionals, and extensive research, led me to believe that this would be the best product for our needs.

Vendor Response

Hi Lisa, thanks for your review. I appreciate your kind words but I'm deeply concerned about your comments on Features/Functionality. Please contact our support team and they can set up additional data fields to track whatever information you need for your customers and suppliers. Also, we have an optional Interactive Reports plug-in that will allow you to sort reports any way you like. Please contact me and I can provide more information on this. Lastly, we have done a number of integrations to Accounts Payable systems. However some accounting systems don't allow for A/P transactions to be imported from 3rd party programs. If you are using an accounting system that can import purchases into the A/P module, then our support team can build a custom integration for you.

Change is difficult, but with help it's possible!

PROS

The back office part of the software is well organized and helps you to walk through whatever task you're looking to accomplish. The spreadsheet integration to enter products and purchase orders is fantastic compared to our last program. The POS part is easy to navigate after some training and allows for quick transactions.

CONS

Things can get very confusing, very quickly. Mistakes are easily made but not easily corrected. Change overall is hard, but it was a bit more intimidating at the beginning than we imagined.

MyPOS Daily User

Awful, I'm a daily user of MyPOS & overall, I dislike this entire program. The fact that it is slow is enough of a reason to hate this program.

PROS

Only thing I like is that you can lock your till by pressing EXIT

CONS

Cloud Base = SLOW, Products can only be edited one at a time & take a year to actually update. Nothing can be edited from PO. PO# can not be edited. Nothing can be changed in Transfer Out/In, or in Purchase orders once you save (ie name, company, number, anything about the product). Partial Receiving with freight isn't allowed. Doesn't let you delete any item - if there are sales records or it was once on t PO or transfer in/out, you can not permanently delete item. I could go on, but there is NOT ENOUGH TIME to type it all out.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

We had an employee who didn't do his research before buying & switching to this program.

Vendor Response

Hi Samantha, I am shocked and saddened to read your review! I remember discussing the functionality requirements in detail with the person who evaluated MyPOS Connect and it sounded like we would be a good fit; especially since the POS software we were replacing had less functionality than MyPOS Connect. Most of the problems you list in your review are easily addressed if you give us some time to train you on how to use the software. I do agree that we don't let you delete products if they have been used in transactions - this is so you have access to accurate historical reports. You can certainly deactivate items so that they don't come up on searches. I would really love the chance to discuss your concerns, if you are interested.

Amazing cloud based point of sale software!

We have 40 stores we manage with MyPOS, inventory replenishment, and reporting are the two biggest areas MyPOS has improved over our previous software.

PROS

What we like most about MyPOS is just how customizable it is. Pretty much anything we can imagine, the software can be tweaked to do. We could not have anticipated the number of efficiencies MyPOS brought our company. Store staff, inventory replenishment, loss prevention, reporting - everyone loves how MyPOS has improved their areas of responsibility.

CONS

If there is an area we would like to see improved is the live dashboard. Compared to other software solutions, MyPOS could certainly improve its dashboard.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

We felt MyPOS was a more efficient POS option than either Netsuite or Quickbooks for our needs. It uses excel which makes things ultra effecient managing 40 locations as well as the reporting is very customizable. MyPOS was simply a much better fit after digging into the software options and features.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Hi Maryse, thank you so much for your review and your positive comments. I agree that it can be annoying if you are performing management functions in the back office software and you lose your internet connection. The good news is that your sales reps can continue to make sales in the POS in offline mode. Some of our customers with spotty internet service get a second fallback internet service or a cell-based internet modem that they turn on when their main service drops out. It doubles your internet service costs but it's a good solution if you cannot afford to have internet outages.

MyPos gave our fireworks company the bang we needed!

The crew at Tri City retail is 2nd to none! We briefly switched to another "cheaper" company for a year, it was the longest year of my life and we hired them back as soon as we were out of contract, Never again !

PROS

Easy to implement, love the bin location feature and the overall ease of the system.

CONS

We literally have zero complaints! TriCity has worked any problem we encountered. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been a huge help.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

RMS vs MyPOS

PROS

Consistent support when needed from Tri City Retail Flexible in creating solutions when needed due to short falls

CONS

Does not have Multi task function, where you can leave a screen and come back with details from other sections without having to close the initial screen you were workings. Its what we have learned now to be called "single path".

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

We went with MyPOS as our support team was very familiar with this software and we were recommended it.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Forced due to obsolete and termination of outside support. It was an amazing system, looking back very powerful. Quick, simple and in our industry environment this is what we absolutely require.

Vendor Response

Hi April, thanks for taking the time to review MyPOS Connect. you are correct in that the software does require you to leave the POS screen to perform database and other management functions. I recall demonstrating this to you before you made the decision to deploy MyPOS Connect. unfortunately, I do not see this changing anytime soon, but I'd love to learn what other aspects of the software caused you to give it such a low score. Please contact me at your earliest convenience and I will work toward addressing all of your concerns.

That Bead Lady Review

In isolation, I'm happy with MyPOS; however the integration/functionality could still potentially be enhanced significantly.

PROS

MyPOS is easy to use and reliable. We use the software daily in our retail store. I think the on-line training/help material could be further expanded on.

CONS

I'm still frustrated with the linkage with Shopify. I find I'm having to manage visible on-line skus in Shopify then perform a similar task in MyPOS. With well over 10k skus and movement of inventory this task is almost impossible, especially when you factor in new skus and discontinuing skus in the mix.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

MyPOS seemed like a viable solution. Being offered by the same company that sold us our old software, I was hopeful the transition would go smoother.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Microsoft were no longer supporting the old product. Additionally, I was looking for a product that could handle both bricks-and-mortar as well as on-line sales.

Vendor Response

Hi Bill, Thank you for your review and especially your comments on our Shopify eCommerce integration. A lot of our customers have deployed this plug-in during the Covid shutdowns; so there has been a lot of focus on building in many new features. I would say that it has been significantly improved since you deployed it last year. Please reach out to our support team to discuss your challenges; they'll do everything possible to help you overcome them.

Cohen and Cohen Review

Great !

PROS

The thing I like most about the software is the support that tri-city provides

CONS

My needs thus far have been fairly basic ... over time as we use the system more I will likely find things that need improvement. Overall no complaints

Easy to use, easy to learn

Simply makes every aspect of running our wholesale operations much easier and efficient.

PROS

We use MyPOS to manage our wholesale operations. We needed a way to track inventory as sales are entered and this product gives us that feature. It has also helped streamline managing accounts and billing statements. It's made my job a lot easier in many ways.

CONS

Would be nice to have a feature that allocates items that are on back order to customer orders as new stock is added to inventory. Should add the items in the order the customer orders were placed.

Reason for choosing MyPOS Connect

MyPOS was suggested by another company that uses it. The cost was also a factor.

Reasons for switching to MyPOS Connect

Very limited functionality in original software.

Vendor Response

Hi Richard, thank-you so much for your review. Although MyPOS Connect is primarily a retail POS solution, we do have many customers who also operate wholesale distribution centers. So I love your suggestions on allocating orders. Please contact me to discuss this; as I would like to know more.

We needed to pivot and adapt to deface retail challenges with Covid 19. MyPOS was easily configured to work with Shopify to provide an integrated online solution.

Navigation can be difficult when searching in-depth for information.

Farm Market Retail POS Software

PROS

This program is easy to use, well organized and not complicated to understand. As a Point of Sale system, training for staff is straight-forward and easy to complete. The reporting system is easy to manipulate and able generate what you are looking for without having to filter through additional unnecessary data. For an on-farm market this software works well, including when inevitable internet outages occur the system itself can still function.

CONS

What we found challenging with our transition was finding out which pieces of our existing equipment would operate with this software (integrated scales and card machines, screens, computer etc).

Vendor Response

Hi Elisa, Thank you so much for your review. I do recall hearing about some struggles with some of your existing hardware. There are so many POS-related devices in the industry, it's hard to keep on top of all the different products and how a POS system needs to connect to them. Luckily, with your patience and assistance, we were able to work our way through it together. Thanks again and please don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything else.
