Hike

Hike is build for all-screen first accessibility approach. Due to which it is suitable for all kind of audience and age category. It has some awesome ability on very obvious features like Inventory, Customer Profiles, Gift-cards, e-commerce, and retail tracking. It available across all version of operating systems and devices including budget iPads. It is also highly capable of being integrated with famous 3rd party services like Mailchimp, Amazon, Shopify, and WooCommerce etc. You also get a wide variety of payment options ranging from PayPal to Square.

From Ariel view, there are no cons at all. Haven't faced any lag or hang issues.Compatible with old hardware and is easy to setup. May be the UI could have been much more intuitive. But as long as it serves its purpose, have no issues.

The features are so customizable and rich! We required the ability to handle a complex inventory and were having trouble finding a POS that could handle our demands, but Hike has exceeded our expectations! They handle our needs for separate SKU/UPCs (which Vend POS didn't). The Sell screen has the ability to show how many products are on hand for products, and is not laggy like other browser systems have been for us, which is helping keep our inventory accurate. Customers are thrilled with the new in-house point system, which is cost effective for us compared to using 3rd party point systems commonly used in our industry. It works seamlessly with Woo Commerce, which has been nice too! The reporting tools are helpful and full of variety, and we are enjoying the custom report feature as well! It even has the ability to create products that are assembled from other products, which we plan on using for bundled deals - and is totally suitable for restaurant or retail! They are the best in versatility by far!

It's a little more "click" intensive sometimes, where options are specific to the items and harder to 'apply to all' on purchase orders, or has common pitfalls such as browser compatibility (they recommend Chrome, but Opera did work with a few differences).

I commenced using Hike from a manual register. I thought it was relatively easy to implement with little to no support from Hike team.

There were continual glitches that impacted on the system to work effectively. Products would go missing all the time, I would then attempt to re-enter the product only to have the system state that 'it already exists'. I would refresh, re sync, re everything, but this was a continual glitch that caused frustration, time consuming and with the limited ability to contact Hike team or the usual 'we will let the tech team work on it', was little to no comfort when it continued over and over again.
