Lightspeed Retail vs. MicroBiz

It is perfect for any small business looking for inventory control, Tracking purchase history, and just an all round easy to use software for retail and beyond. I would not use it if I have only a few hundred items or was a larger company that can afford to build my own POS software.

Suitable for small and mid sized retail businesses. Many features to automate operations (bar code scanning throughout application, auto generate POS based on mix/max, stock look-up). May not be ideal for large retail stores. Lacks integrations with ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle. Missing some specialty features such as serialized inventory.

• Lightspeed Retail has great reports that are very easy to read and understand.
• Lightspeed Retail is great to train new employees on because of its ease of use. There are not lots of different things that you have to learn just basics.

Very easy to use and figure out without calling customer support which is also very responsive and helpful.

Lightspeed is faster, sleeker and more modern than our previous POS system. I can’t express enough how easy the online store portion of Lightspeed is - it just intuitive and sometimes, is TOO easy, I feel like I have to be forgetting something. Lightspeed is staying modern and current where our previous POS was not

It was close but we just liked some of the features in microbiz better. Plus it was cheaper

• Really amazing value for the monthly fees. Less expensive than other serious cloud POS applications
• Synch with QBO allows us to save time manually entering financial data into our accounting system
• Bar code scanning in both the front end and back end saves time and money
