What should be considered while choosing a Florist POS Software?

Is there a contract or commitment?

Almost any POS system designed for retail florists is going to involve some ongoing (monthly, yearly, etc.) fees so the length of any contract or agreement that you sign is critical. If you realise two months into a five-year agreement that you don’t like the system you still have almost 60 payments ahead of you. And if you close or sell your store you likely have to buy out the entire contract.

Is there any up-front cost involved?

If you do choose a system that involves an up-front investment you need to be careful. First, make sure that you have an absolutely clear understanding of the total cost of getting a system up and running. Do not leave any potential cost “to be determined”. The expenses involved with having an installer and/or trainer come to your store and stay for a week or more can be very high.

What future development is planned for the POS system?

Most importantly you want to make sure that a system is undergoing continued development. To be sure you should ask for details (in writing) of the development taking place, new features being implemented, release dates, etc.
