Pos Accounting Software

ATLANTA, GA – M2SYS Technology, a biometric technology research and development company, announced it has formed a partnership with PCS Revenue Control Systems, a provider of foodservice management technology. This partnership will enable PCS to integrate and distribute M2SYS's fingerprint software technology, Bio-Plugin, within their FASTRAKschool meal software. The FASTRAK school meal software is a point of service (POS) product that facilitates management efforts, such as receiving enrollment and menu updates, printing daily reports, keeping track of meal counts, and handling accounting issues. Now enhanced with M2SYS's BioPlugin, Fastrak is currently available to PCS Revenue Control Systems' customer base of more than 8,000 school systems across the U.S. “M2SYS offered unparalleled service, innovative technology, and affordable pricing," commented David Yaniv, General Manager of PCS.

HighTower Point of Sale Professional from HighTower Inc. is a little different than some of the other products in this review, as it requires a specific third-party software product (Sage MAS 90) in order to function properly. HighTower POS is sold as a product enhancement for the Sage MAS 90 accounting module.

EASE OF USE -- 4 Stars
The HighTower POS module interfaces directly with Sage MAS 90 and Sage MAS 200. The main screen is similar to Microsoft Explorer, with system modules found to the left of the screen. Clicking on the POS module will bring up the main grid, which contains Main, GL, POS Entry, Report Setup, and Recaps tabs at the top of the grid. Setup options are selected here, as well as choosing the MAS 90/200 modules with which to integrate, the current fiscal year and cash register numbers.
