The customer service and tier 2 are weak or do not have any power to solve customer issues.

Have been happy with the improvements. Main improvements I would like to see is reports with subtotals when downloaded and a more robust quickbooks integration.

The lack of knowledge from the help desk is frustrating.

Talech POS does not work with credit cards consistently , tech support is clueless.

Customer support has been super, fas,t efficient. The software is easy to use and set up was great.

It's ease of use makes it perfect for our small store. What brought me to Talech was the ability to manage inventory and now the new integrated 2.0 is exciting.

We are, overall, very pleased with the Talech system. That's why we continue to use it.

Once you have figured out how to use the software it is fairly easy to use and you can customize it to your specific needs.

Easy to use many choices to choose from equipment wise and their support is amazing well worth it.

The worst things there were thousands of dollars which were not deposited to our account because of their 'bug. We accidentally found it out.

It has improved greatly in the last year. We'd like to see some integration to view the inventory across multiple stores simultaneously.

I was surprised at how easily we were able to expand and control our in-house systems. They have become so feature-rich over the years.

I am very satisfied with this product. The customer service has been wonderful and very timely with responses.

However, dealing with a customer service staff who are really only there to get us off the phone as quickly as possible while attempting to fix a specific problem is frustrating.

All of the Tech support is very useful, and they are very good about explaining things in ways that we can understand very easily. We recommend Talech for anyone.

Wasted several hours trying to figure this out and lost customers and revenue to this problem. I'm going with someone else.

I lost two days waiting for a solution that no one was aware of. Now I sit and wait again.

Overall my experience is poor. I was sold on this program,  that it would do everything I needed for my business.

Price point is competitive. Customer service is very good.

Super easy to set up and all I had to do was send them a spreadsheet and they entered most of my info for me.

Updates are sometimes required for the software to work, of which, we receive no notice.

When I have trouble with my internet connection and it get dropped after it hits the gateway, there is no way for me to determine that the charge went through.

This soft wear is easy to operate and easy to teach new staff how to use programing is fast and easy.

It is very straight forward to use, it is very intuitive, all the functions are clearly named and easy to find.

Setup and operation was a breeze, and if there was a bit more functionality for bar operations, we would have stuck with it.

It's great for small businesses, affordable, and super flexible. Their support is great too.

The monthly report very accurate and helpful for our company to easy calculate our monthly income statement. Tracking our COGS anytime so we can control our purchases.

Very few bugs or problems. Service - we rarely need but when we do, the response is fast.

It's integration with Shopify, Deputy and Square. Clean and pro looking (would like to be able to customize it more for my shops character).

The reporting suite is fantastic and allows us to analyze actionable data to make good decisions.

There is a support function incorporated within the website which is useful but the customer service is absolutely amazing: when I've had a query, I've always had an answer within the hour.

I would like to continue to see some improvements to the loyalty and rewards aspect, however these are not deal breakers.

Total lack of customer support during critical times.

Ultimately, there was a lack of complexity in the software for running a bar/taproom in terms of being able to use tabs.

We have absolutely loved the simplicity of the system both at the counter and in the warehouse. The interface is pleasant to the eye and really easy to navigate.

We really weighed our options when we first opened; and Vend really stood out. Great customer service, great pricing options, amazing add-ons for couponing and other web services.

Yes it's better for us in some ways than our prior POS, but at such a great cost of effort that we would never recommend it to anyone and constantly are on the look out for a better POS.

Quite easy to use and deploy. Integrated with other platforms.

The ease in setting up an online store and having the actual inventory be available is amazing.

I only used vend in making inventory to my operation projects because all tools was good and useful.

I adore the Reports tab for glancing at revenue and other numbers. Checking out customers is a breeze.

Stock control options are top notch. The ability to order, return and inventory stock directly from the app is fantastic.

It's an exact match (word order, spelling, exact!). My staff can't use the program, our inventory is a mess due to difficult contrast, laging.

We can put up with a lot of issues, and recognize no one platform is perfect.

Vend has a lot of great features and integrations that allow the business to have a simple checkout process.

The user-friendliness and intuitiveness of Vend was great for us in our start-up phase at our brewery. We operated a retail store and taproom/bar using Vend for about six months.

We shifted to Vend from a traditional PC POS.It was a breeze. We run a few thousand products without a problem.

Speaking to the live chat guy and he kept me waiting for over 3 hours with no reply when he told me that he will be transferring me over to the billing time for assistance.

If you want something that is really easy to use, very simplistic on reporting, and a staff that is always trying to improve the software, you will love Vend.

Absolutely love the ease of use of Vend. While I myself am rather technologically literate, some of my employees are not.

The easy to use functions and layout. It is easy to find what you are looking for, and the service is great whenever there are questions.

Vend is best in inventory management system and i always use this also in customer care. This help me a lot and help our department too.

I lost several 100 dollars before I discovered this on camera. So now all my employees are cashiers only.

Customer service is superb and interface is intuitive, easy to learn.

To get the most benefit and save a TON of time each day, you have to go with the fully integrated solution. This is true of whatever software you choose.

Great cost effective software for our retail business. Our associates find it easy to use and has regular updates that are easy to implement.

We are super happy with Vend. It really improve our workflow, our customers on-desk experience and our budget decisions incredibly.
