The product supports a full Point of Sale system with inventory management, pricing, and sales. Additionally it is part of the Microsoft enterprise platform so can be integrated seamlessly with Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Vend in comparison handles product management with an integrated price book which is updated in real time for point of sale operations. Additionally the product supports on-account sales which involve deferred payments on a time based billing cycle. There is also a loyalty program to reward frequent shoppers with an online portal for tracking transactions and redemption offers, and an application library to enhance product functionality.
