Nothing too complex, just invoices, P&L maybe, inventory, ideally with barcode scanner support.



Thanks.

    Edinburgh Bicycle runs their sales/inventory system on Macs (Bondi iMacs), so it might be worth asking them if you can find a contact. No idea what it is or who made it though.

    I'd look at some of the stuff the Filemaker developers have come up with. I was suprised that Filemaker could run most of the stuff we needed at one placed I worked at and that was like version 5

    YES.





    My local dive shop runs thier business on Macs. http://www.mdaguam.com/

    The server is a Cube, the cash registers are G4 iMacs.

    I'm not sure what software they use, but I know it's running under OS9.



    Maybe I'll remember to ask about it when I'm in there tomorrow.

    go to the nearest apple store and ask them what they use. Their registers are Macs.



    Is Quickbook POS available for mac?

    I believe the Apple Stores use proprietary software but that isn't a reason not to go there and ask what they recommend. Our local Apple Store was running "Pro Wednesdays" for a while where they supposedly taught you how to run a business using a Mac. Not being a business owner I never went, but you might ask them if they still have something like that.

    Did you even try looking at versiontracker or google for the answers? A simple search for =macosx]"point of sale" or "mac point of sale" on the two gets you a good start.





    PS.. url for that first one is http://www.versiontracker.com/php/se...nt+of+sale&plt[]=macosx



    the bbs software doesn't like the []'s in the url.
