Specific to retail, what are the top retail POS software trends?
As it relates to top trends on the software side of retail POS, we found that many of our respondents said that integration was top of mind. “We’re seeing phenomenal levels of integration between disparate apps, or complementary applications,” says Atkinson of CAP Software. “This benefits both VARs and retailers.” Edward IP, president of IUG Business Solutions, a New York City-based retail solutions provider, agreed with Atkinson. “Integration is really the key to the strength of the retail POS system,” Ip says. “It’s no longer just about integrating your POS system to your ‘daddy’s Quickbooks.’ It’s now more about integrating to your e-commerce system, supplier and customer.” Ip also adds that POS vendors are starting to realize that “the ISV (independent software vendor) model is really important,” and therefore, “SDKs are becoming stronger by the day.” On the payment processing front, Mercury Payment Systems noted that direct integration with processors is a hot topic in retail POS
