The worst company I’ve ever seen

1.0 2 months ago New

Comments: I would never recommend this company. The customer service I’ve experienced has been a joke, no refund 7 months into contacting them about it, absolutely no help. Closed my ticket without issuing the refund, I attached bank statement proofs of the money they took from me and there has been absolutely no help giving me back my €113, the worst I’ve ever seen in my life. How a successful company can take €113 off of a small business, not even send the product I was charged for and still not giving my money back after receiving proof? Unsure how this is even sustainable. Robbing from small businesses, absolutely disgusting and shocking behaviour. How many customer service representatives have to send it on higher to get a refund? I would never recommend epos now to anyone.

Pros:

Nothing. There has been no help given to us at all.

Cons:

Epos now scammed me out of money. I purchased a full bundle in January for €113 and never received the till, now 7 months later I’m contacting them every day for my refund and being passed around like a spare part with absolutely NO help from anyone of them.

The most comprehensive EPOS solution

5.0 last month New

Comments: We was on an old EPOS and having upgraded to EPOS now allows me amazing insight into my business, I can see my busy periods, get comprehensive sales reports, stock reports and instantly add products across my stores.

Pros:

The most comprehensive EPOS solution for retailers. Cloud data and live sales on your app which by the way is equally as good. I have seen a fair few and this is by far the market leader.

Cons:

I've personally had a bit of bad luck with printers, but thankfully I took the care plan which allows me to warranty my equipment no quibble and quickly.

Alternatives Considered: The EPOS Bureau

Reasons for Choosing Epos Now: Too old and outdated and did not have cloud option

Switched From: Nucleus

Reasons for Switching to Epos Now: By chance and liked the demo and realised this was simpler to understand

Excellent product and even more excellent support

5.0 last month New

Comments: From start to present the overall experience has been pleasant with only 1 or 2 minor issues which were swiftly resolved once support were contacted.
The equipment works well and as most of it is cloud based it is all very streamlined.

Pros:

The cloud based back office is great as I personally am not based in the business where our tills are but can access almost everything remotely. Also, on the rare occasion I have required technical support I have faced almost zero hold time and had an exemplary service to fix my issues.

Cons:

It would be nice if I could view the 'till' screens remotely without paying for an extra license. Just to move buttons around etc not to use to actually be a 3rd Till device. Also the bulk import tool should really be included free as part of the package instead of an app with additional subscription cost... although we only really needed it to get setup and the free trial was long enough it would still be handy to have access to this feature.

Alternatives Considered: Square Point of Sale

Reasons for Switching to Epos Now: EposNow had a very attractive introductory offer of free POS equipment.
