I currently have a
counter system that I would like
to replace. Will you be able to
import data from it into your
POINT-OF-RENTAL™
system?
Most likely. We currently
have the ability to
electronically import customers,
inventory and in some cases more
information from Solutions by
Computer (SBC), Counter Pro®,
Computer Ease Windows and Unix
versions, Alert, Easy Pro, Data
Rental, UAS, Marketline, and
QuickBooks POS. We also have
Microsoft Excel Templates to
allow easy entry of customers
and items. If your current
system has an export feature,
you can submit delimited text
files. Of course if all else
fails, you can ship us
print-outs and we will manually
enter data.
If I have my own
hardware, can I just purchase
POINT-OF-RENTAL™
software?
Yes. If you already
have a server running the
Windows® 2003 Server (Standard
Edition) operating system, our
multi-user version of POINT-OF-RENTAL™
software can generally be
installed onto it. If you think
your server may have
insufficient resources, please
call and discuss your situation
with our IT department at
800-944-7368. The multi-user
version can use any PC running
Windows® XP, 2000 or 98 for
terminals. We also have a
single-user version that runs on
Windows® XP.
What kind of
support service do you provide?
We offer live toll free
telephone support and if you
have high-speed Internet, we can
remotely connect to your system
to directly assist your
employees. All systems are sold
with 90 days of support. After
that, a monthly support option is
available or you can choose
per-call support. Customers on
monthly support also receive
software updates. These are
issued at least yearly and
always introduce new features. The updates are provided at no
additional cost to companies
subscribing to our monthly
software support service. Per-call customers have the
option of separately purchasing
POINT-OF-RENTAL™
System software
updates.
What are my training
options?
Training dates will be
finalized only after your
customers and inventory have
been entered into your system.
This is so that you and your
employees can be trained using
customers and inventory you are
most familiar with… your own! For smaller single location
stores, training is generally
scheduled for two days. For
large, multi-location operations
training plan on two to three
days per location. Training can
be at our facilities near the
Dallas – Fort Worth (TX)
International airport (DFW) or,
optionally, at your location.
How scalable is your
POINT-OF-RENTAL™
system? How many stores and terminals
can you support?
Our software is
capable of growing to virtually
unlimited scale. We have many
customers with 3 to 10 locations
using 25 to 50 terminals. But,
that is nowhere near the limit. Using a Load Balanced Server
Cluster with sufficient WAN
bandwidth, over 1,000
simultaneous users could access
the system.
What type of
peripherals such as scanners,
printers, etc. do you support?
We print to almost any Windows®
capable printer. Other
peripherals we interface to are
OCR Driver’s license scanners
that simultaneously read and
image driver license
information, magnetic stripe
readers for credit cards, bar
code readers, signature capture
devices and wireless laptops via
the Internet.
Do you have a list
of stores using POINT-OF-RENTAL™
Systems in my area?
Most likely,
yes. We have systems in 46
states, four other North
American countries and South
Africa. To request this list and
