Our verdict
Last verified Jun 6, 2026
Mature, full inventory-to-purchasing suite with strong POS and accounting integrations and the highest independent review volume in its class (Capterra 4.7/111); pricing tiers are published as starting figures with the top tier quote-based, and entry cost is on the higher side for the smallest operators.
