Preferred Retail Systems

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. 

It is a very mature product with a large installed based, substantial partner support, and a large number of add-ons  for specific industries, often called vertical markets. RMS is offered through a network of Microsoft Partners specifically trained for this product. You should not attempt to implement this product without guidance from a Microsoft Partner if you want to have a successful outcome.

The most common back end accounting integration is with Intuit Quickbooks. If that statement is confusing then please read the article located on the front page entitled Quickbooks vs. RMS.

Although RMS is a boxed product that can be purchased online, it is a very robust system comprising three different applications, a wide range of customizable options, and hundreds of third party add-ins. And while  you may successfully purchase, then install this software without much trouble on a Windows based PC, you may experience a great deal of difficulty in configuring the system to operate in a useful manner. It is not my purpose to insult the intelligence of anyone who is reasonably computer savvy by suggesting that you don't go this alone, but the amount of time you will spend getting your store up and running will be substantial.

In most cases, we can completely configure your store, train your staff, and support your enterprise with an initial 2 days followed by a 90 day period of ocaissional support and training calls. More to come...
