I'm currently working on writing a Point-of-Sale program I call BPOS. I'm writing this software with guidance and inspiration from the developer of another much older POS program, with the intention that I might take over his customers and pay him a percentage of the revenue.

It's a fairly standard cash register for retail establishments, with optional extra features for cooperatively owned stores. Despite the extra features, we're mostly competing on price. Software is way more expensive than it needs to be, because most people can't just write their own software the way they can choose to do their own laundry instead of hiring it out. I don't believe in holding you over a barrel for your money. I'll sell you the software for what it costs to write and maintain it, not for how much I think I can nickel and dime you for.

Unfortunately, I'm losing my local test bed, as their corporate higher ups have dictated a change to a competing piece of software. I can't say I blame them. Right now their franchisees are all running different software and they need standardization. Are you a retail establishment in or around Aberdeen, SD interested in converting from a paper-based system to a computerized system, for free?

The software is still in the early planning and development stages, so I don't have any screenshots to share at the moment, but I'll upload some as that changes.

Give me a call, John at 824-0983
