How do I print out a report showing how much inventory I have entered into POS System? I feel like I have looked everywhere and cannot seem to find anything!
I hate i! After the updates have been performed, I can not add any inventory to the POS, can not make a sale. It's giving me an error message all the time! I could not run my business for a few days, until I installed another POS. So, I lost my data!
I think this is the best software ever because it's easy to use such as add in inventory, manager set up, and check out menu. My parents is not good at computer so I kind of worried when I purchased this software for their business but I was surprised they knew how to use it after teaching them a few easy steps how to use the software. Overall I love it and give it 5 stars!
POS Maid is accurately named as a P.O.S. I also had a terrible problem with the program no longer recognizing that I was the original purchaser. What's worse, Alexandria Computers accused me of pirating their program to put on other computers. This company is so concerned about security that it ultimately rips off any honest customers. I appreciate the heads-up about Open Bravo and will check it out.
People... beware of Alexandria - this is nothing short of a rip off!
I have downloaded and tried about 30 POS programs all costing from $35 to $250. I thought I had settled on a good program with POS Maid having a clean and easy to use interface and the ability to import Excel spreadsheet data directly into the database (you must have MS Excel 2000 installed- not just a file). HOWEVER, the company is apparently so paranoid of piracy that they've built in LAND MINES OF SECURITY that end up causing problems that FEEL MORE LIKE SABATOGE. Each install of $45 requires you to email the company with a different random number that it generates every time you need to reinstall if something gets corrupted. They in turn (at the time of writing this) manually email you back a password that is suppose to unlock your software from the demo mode that otherwise limits the amount of input. In other words, if you have to reinstall, you are either going to end up paying $45 every time or spend days like we did, emailing support back and forth to their Gmail account to resolve the issues because the program requires a brand new, different password every time you need to reinstall. FURTHERMORE, versions of their software are not in many cases compatible. We had version 2.29 on one machine that's database could not be read on the 2.28 version of the machine we took to a sales convention. After days of emails which we had to leave the booth every couple hours and find a wifi connection, they finally corrected the problem and issued a new password. There's NO PHONE NUMBER for Alexandria Computers, because apparently it's just one guy that designed this software as a school project and markets it himself. I finally found a number for him on WHO IS domain lookup and frantically called 3 times one day reaching a voice mail but no response. His statement online says in so many words that they cannot afford to offer phone support as such a low cost. They apparently are still living in the past as you can get equal or greater POS programs for free like the open source program called OPEN BRAVO. Well, what do you think now Alexandria Computers? Don't you think spending 2 minutes on the phone to issue us a new password would have been worth it compared all the sales you are going to probably lose now by those wanting to avoid these type of booby-trap-like security measures? I WOULD HAVE PAID TO TALK TO ANYONE TO HELP US OUT AS IT COST US TIME AND LOST SALES.
NO PHONE and if you find his number like we did on DOMAIN WHO IS, he still won't answer the phone - try him yourself: 219 306-1664
