Whenever the topic of QB comes up everybody knows Pete and I have different opinions. I respect Pete because he has sold POS systems. I'm simply a user who's happy with my QB Financial and POS software.

At least 95% of my inventory doesn't come with UPC codes so I have QB POS print out bar codes for me. This is very convenient for us.

Pete, you mentioned that you can't get detailed inventory information from QB. I'm not sure what else you would need in addition to what QB has for info. I can set up warnings for low inventory, it tells me how much I have on hand and what's on order. I also just printed a report that told me what items sold for the month before last Christmas.

The best thing for anybody to do is research all your options and decide what's best for your business. For us it was QB POS in conjunction with the Financial software. For others it may be a pen and paper or a custom POS system. Only you can decide what's right for you and your business.

Good luck with your decision.
