Was very informative and ease of use. Positive results for speaking to others who use it. > > **Cons**: Seems a little pricey, I haven't found may things to criticize on. Nice that you don't have to buy a boatload of equipment. > > Can use any merchant card services with it. ----- ### "We made a great decision" — 5.0/5 > **Trevor** | *3 March 2020* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software has saved our team time, saved us from headaches, and has brought efficiency to our store beyond any other system that has been tried since we started. > > **Cons**: Although it would be nice to have a little more leeway in customizing some of the terminology within the software (change "Vendor" to "Donor" to fit our business operations, etc), there really isn't any downside to AmberPOS that we've found. > > AmberPOS has taken our store from the analogue era to digital in one fast, relatively easy step. It's been a great transition, with excellent help from AmberPOS staff in every stage. ----- ### "Poor company" — 1.0/5 > **Stephen** | *19 November 2018* | Retail > > **Pros**: Pros???? None that I can see of. They play smoking mirrors with you. They did start the refund of the cost. > > **Cons**: They want you to open up your environment to them. They want Team Viewer access to every computer that it is installed on, and SA database access on your SQL server where you do not have access to. They will not even give you the software\! Not to mention forwarding the SQL port on your router to the server as well.... Major security holes and would highly recommend staying away from the POS\! > > Stay away ----- ### Review — 4.5/5 > **Jacob** | *17 April 2012* > > Totally Awesome Goods is a new retail brand with the ultimate goal of having a few stores and a robust website. It was important for me, right from the start, to use a POS system that can be integrated with my website and can handle more than one location. I was just about set to go with another POS system, when Software Advice recommended the AmberPOS. I spoke to Ashley at AmberPOS who was very helpful, patient and supportive throughout the process. The POS system is very easy to use, and mostly very intuitive. Since there is a lot of functionality, I am still learning all that it can do. I was up and running very quickly. The implementation was very easy, without any issues. The technician, Pavel, was very helpful and knowledgeable. Support in general has been very good. The only major issue I have had with AmberPOS was its integration with the merchant services account. I needed to do it through a YESpay gateway, and I was not aware that was the case until a couple of weeks before the store was to open. I felt this could have been better explained up front. As a result, I don't have that integrated with my POS system. Other than that, I am thus far happy with the decision. ----- ### Review — 5.0/5 > **Bill** | *25 June 2011* > > We are a small business that sells fishing and kayaking supplies both locally and online. As our business has grown so have our data maintenance requirements. We were operating the store and online business on independent databases, which created double the work. I looked for a solution that would integrate the two platforms and create one selling database that would solve this redundancy problem. Happily, I found Pacific Amber Technologies and their software program AmberPOS and purchased the system in June 2010. The conversion from my old system went smoothly and we were up and selling on the AmberPOS platform within a couple of weeks. AmberPOS then integrated my POS system with my online store and eliminated the necessity of managing two databases, thus cutting my workload in half. The AmberPOS system was easy for my staff to learn and the staff at Pacific Amber Technologies has been great. They have a support staff that is second to none and have completed many custom tasks for me in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking to change software platforms or starting from scratch.
