Switched to Rain from Lightspeed
Overall pleased with RAIN and glad we made the switch. A bit more thought into easier workflow within the Register, Special Order and LayAway screens and it will be a force to reckon with.
I was hoping for an easier eCom experience, but that is not what I received. Much like other POS Systems that offer an integrated eCom Site...building out the site and making it look the way we want doesn't follow the basic HTML buildout process. As a web developer for over 20 years...I find the eCom platform to be VERY challenging to use and often times VERY discouraging. I can see they worked hard to have the functionality be similar to other CMS Website Platforms (Wix, WordPress, etc), but it's too confusing to navigate effectively taking up valuable time.
Pros
Integrated Marketing
Automatic "pushing" of items to our Reverb.com Account
Lightweight on system resources on our iMac's
Cons
Special Order Workflow is clunky and needs to be simplified. We've resorted to using the "Quote" option to better manage Special Orders and ring in total sales under a "Gift Card" first. That way when working with multiple vendors on a special order, we have easier use of customer funds when "finalizing" the deal.
Register is Average and would prefer ability to see cost of products on screen.
In Register - when scanning duplicate items they get entered as "new" line item versus adding to the SKU already input.
Can't us an IR Gun on an iPad when scanning incoming inventory or during inventory counts.
Layaway Screen has some great features, but workflow is a bit convoluted.
Website build out is horribly confusing and NOTHING follows traditional HTML processes. This was the same problem with Lightspeed's eCom platform - hard to work with and no sense of workflow.

Best software for quilting shops.
Positive all the way. Solutions are always there when we come up with something new or unique to sell. It really helps guide the way I do business.
Pros
Rain Pos is dependable, well priced with instantaneous software help. The company LISTENS to their clients, I can't emphasize this enough. My POS is with me everywhere, at the doctor, on vacation, in bed at night.
Cons
I would like an end of day report on products loaded into the system.

Neat system horrible customer service
As a product it’s great but as a company it’s horrible. Terrible customer service and support.
Pros
It was all in one with a nice platform. Handled customer accounts and payment links built into the invoices.
Cons
They promised the world and delivered nothing. The on boarding took months and I had to pay for service during the $2,000 cost of onboarding. Then when we went to cancel they said you have to give us a notice. Why you said zero length contract.

Love this system!
I can get the reports I need and want. Tech support is wonderful. They are constantly updating and improving the software.
Pros
Product is very easy to use. It's nice that I can put items on my website right from the product page. Web page is easy to edit.
Cons
I wish there were more yarn and knitting notions vendors integrated into the system.

Rain POS
Pros
This is a great program that integrates a point of sale program with a website store that keep inventory stock levels on the website. The basics functions are easy to use and learn.
Cons
Rain POS needs to make some of the reporting more functional so that you can see product sales easier and for a monthly and yearly sense.
