SolvePOS

SolvePOS is a versatile point of sale software package, catering specifically to the needs of small to medium-sized businesses. Developed by Solve I.T. Australia Pty Ltd, SolvePOS has been designed to provide a seamless experience for both beginners and experienced users. The latest version, 2011.09.06, offers a range of features to efficiently manage business finances.

Installation of SolvePOS is efficient and straightforward. Initiating the download and setup, users will encounter a prompt for choosing the 'Server' option, which may necessitate the installation of the Firebird Database Server. This step is particularly important if the server hasn't been previously installed. The core functionalities of SolvePOS include handling stock, creating new stock items, adding suppliers, and configuring client points. Additionally, the option to add packs enhances the flexibility of stock management.

Among the notable strengths of SolvePOS is its strong networking capabilities. With supported operating systems including Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 8, it provides a broad scope of compatibility. Users can leverage aliases by configuring the 'aliases.conf' file in the Firebird installation directory, which simplifies sharing the SolvePOS2.exe database, eliminating the challenges of shared folders.

The comprehensive user support offered by Solve I.T. Australia Pty Ltd ensures any technical queries or setup issues are resolved swiftly.
