Want better integration of your Point of Sale & Back Office System?
Getting a Point of Sale system into your business is an essential first step.... but it is only the first step. True automation comes from integrating the Point of Sale with your Quickbooks Accounting system. We can help...
Point of Sale
Microsoft Dynamics Point of Sale (POS) is best suited for small businesses that operate just one or two lanes and do not plan to expand to multiple locations. It is slightly less robust than Retail Managment System (RMS) in a number of ways, although built upon the same basic infrastructure (Microsoft SQL database technology).
Retail Management System
Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System (RMS) is a software program best suited for a small business that operates one or more lanes in a single location. It will accommodate multiple locations, but doing so can be a challenge if not properly planned for the correct level of support during and after implementation.
RMS vs. QuickBooks
During my initial visits with small retail establishments who grew their businesses using QuickBooks, I am often asked why RMS is better. My answer is simple - it is not better, it is different. 
Understanding the difference between a Line of Business Program (RMS) and an accounting program (QuickBooks) is crucial. And a proper comparison between the two requires a deeper understanding of them both.
Let’s take a broader view of the subject for a little better perspective. Don't worry you won't have to give up your precious Quickbooks!
QuickBooks Integration
One of the most significant time saving features of RMS is QuickBooks integration. It is really quite simple, but very powerful. The hard part is getting it set up correctly, then it is a three step process to keep your books ups to the minute accurate:
-
Post your batches from Manager
-
Review the resulting Journal Entry in QuickBooks
-
Deposit the funds into your Bank Account
