Introducing Vend POS Software

Whether you're a small business owner who has one store, or you're making POS software purchasing decisions for a large retail chain, it would be worth your time to check out Vend, a point of sale system that helps you with everything from inventory management to customer loyalty programs.

One reason why Vend works for retail businesses of different sizes is that pricing varies depending on the amount of products and/or services you're selling, as well as the number of outlets you need for the software. There is an affordable monthly rate, with a discount when you purchase a year's worth of software use.

The Vend website has a tour to show you how the software works, and they also have a helpful menu to show specific features designed to help particular types of stores such as coffee shops, clothing boutiques, beauty salons, and home decor shops.

You can customize the software package and use the features you want to use for your business such as returns, email receipts, layaways, and gift cards. Some other features of this PoS system include detailed analytics and ecommerce functionality that helps you build a nice looking, easy to navigate storefront so that you can have a nice-looking online presence, even if you're primarily a brick and mortar business.

Perhaps most importantly, Vend makes it easy to accept payments and can accept debit and credit cards from leading providers around the world.

The software is available for iPad, Mac and PC--and you can manage and grow your business in the cloud. Another great feature is that Vend works offline. You can sell if the internet goes down or if you're in a location without an internet connection, Vend will sync when you go back online.

Vend offers a free 30 day trial, no credit card required, so if you're curious, check it out today for free.

Meet Vas Blagodarskiy, Developer of Keyword Swarm

Developed by Vas Blagodarskiy, Keyword Swarm is a WordPress plugin which helps WordPress owners understand their audience better. The plugin is like having Google Analytics for your WordPress, and you no longer have to install a code on your site that siphons data off to Google or some other company; you keep your data. Keyword Swarm also comes with a two week risk-free guarantee, and Vas is giving away resale rights to the software, too.

1. What made you decide to make a plugin for WordPress?

One in six new websites that go online are using WordPress. That's a staggering statistic. I decided to build a WordPress version of an already-existing Analytics product line. I wanted to pack more features into it to make it a true WordPress exclusive.

2. What makes Keyword Swarm unique?

Besides being a keyword tracking tool, it also allows you to get a world map view over your website's traffic. There are a lot of detailed stats on your visitors, and the best part is this: it updates automatically in real time. That has never been done before.

3. Is your plugin intended for businesses or bloggers or both?

Both.

4. As a developer, why do you like WordPress?

It lets any person build any kind of website with minimal programming skills or web development know-how.

5. Why do you think WordPress has become so popular--and do you plan to create other WP-related products in the future?

Wordpress.com certainly helped. Blogging is a modern-day re-emerging phenomenon of self-discovery. Any person can find value in it. The rest is a matter of supply and demand--just as with the advent of the printing press.

Thanks, Vas!
