These awards are given out annually by FinancesOnline only to top B2B products that offer the highest possible level of service and that offer an exceptional user experience, like how easy is to start using the product and how well-designed its interface and features are.

During the evaluation process of posIPOS,  the FinancesOnline’s team  has compared posIPOS with other competing restaurant and retail POS systems,  and analyzed different usage scenarios across multiple types of businesses that need a POS system, highlighting some of the advantages that posIPOS offers versus other similar systems:

• perfect for any business that requires a POS system, from restaurants, bars, pizza and fast food venues to retail stores, boutique shops and mobile vendors.

• multiple payment integrations, including Square, Authorize.Net, PayPal, and iZettle, for accepting payments via credit cards, cash, eChecks, Apple Pay and contactless payments.

• safe and secure, fully PCI-compliant cloud-based POS solution that keeps all your business data safe in the cloud, so you do not need any expensive local servers to store any crucial information.
