Vendor comparison

effortlessE, LLC: Solutions. That is how webPOS was created. As a successful eCommerce solution provider we had a loyal client following using our powerful shopping cart solution. But our loyal clients wanted more! We were asked daily for a solution for the retail "brick and mortar" stores that some of our clients operated. They wanted a web based POS (Point of Sale) or they wanted us to connect with a provider that offered the flexibility and value they enjoyed with us. We approached a number of Point of Sale providers and found them more than willing to connect with our eCommerce solution. The problem with each of these systems included no hardware flexibility, no real time access, limited remote access, working on only one operating system and the forced use of the provider's credit card processing.
