Groovv? Sounds Groovvy

Posted on by admin

Hello, and sorry for the really horrible title.

Today I’m going to introduce the Groovv system to you guys.  While the full blown Point of Sale systems offers the most versatile options and customizations, it’s daunting to drop the lump sum of money especially when your business has just launched.  Enter Groovv, simple and effective solution for growing business with low initial investment cost, risk, 24 hour support, and no term contract or obligation!  There is just one catch.  You have to be approved for merchant services before Groovv ships out the terminal.  This process could take as little as 2~3 days if all informations are correct and applications are not rejected, to 10+ business days if there are information mismatch or error on IRS systems.

Groovv currently offers 3 different types of terminals.  Terminal One for accepting many forms of payment methods as simple as possible.  POS Flex for flexibility.  POS All-In-One for full blown Point of Sale station.

Groovv Terminal One

Groovv Terminal One

First up is the Groovv Terminal One.  Terminal one is the easiest way to accept payments from tech savvy customers with smart watches to traditional customers with magnetic stripe credit cards.  We have personally tested Termina One and it was amazing to see a single device accepting all kinds of payment methods we’ve thrown at it.  Apple pay (Phone and watch), Android pay (Phone and watch), Samsung Pay (NFC and MSR), Credit cards from VISA, Master Card, American Express, Discover (EMV & Magnetic strip).  Sadly we couldn’t make Terminal One accept personal paper checks and “I-Owe-You notes”.

Next set of Groovv solutions includes Groovv POS software which offers various functions such as

  • Inventory management
    • List items with multiple hierarchy levels and modifiers
    • Track sales
    • Receive notifications when item runs low on stock

    • Track employee work time
    • View sales history

    • Reward customers socializing your business on Social Networks (Pro feature)

Groovv POS Flex

Groovv Flex is somewhat weird kind of device similar to Posiflex MT4008 in a sense that a detachable tablet is used to allow mobility some customers require.  It uses an android tablet with Groovv POS software preloaded and comes with a terminal that could accept all forms of payment much like the Terminal One, but the payment terminal is also detachable.  You are free to roam around the base station with both the tablet and payment terminal and accept orders/payments with ease.

The base model does not come with the wireless cash drawer, printer, or the barcode reader so if those are required, do tell us before we finalize the order.

For a small start up retail or restaurants, price tag of a full point of sale system could be pretty daunting and even if purchased, it may not be fully utilized for the maximum efficiency.  Groovv POS All-in-one (AIO) is targeted for those budding businesses by offering the core functionality needed without all the other bloat from full blown point of sale system.

Groovv POS AIO comes with built-in devices such as barcode scanner, receipt printer, customer display, and cash drawer along with the same multifunction terminal that Groovv POS Flex version comes with.  This allows Groovv AIO all the major day-to-day functionality of a standard point of sale system without the price tag!

 

If you are ready to get Groovvy, but if you still can’t decide which system fits your needs, here is what we think.

If…

  • your business have just started and does not need the Groovv POS software, but would like to receive various payment methods.
    • Definitely Groovv Terminal One.  Terminal One allows your business to receive many different form of modern payments.
  • your business already have Point of Sale system, but does not have EMV capabilities
    • If your sole goal is to receive fraud protection, Groovv Terminal One is the best choice.
    • If you require mobile solution with marketing tools, Groovv POS Flex is the right choice
    • If your current POS system is out of date, and is missing features, Groovv POS AIO offers modernized solution.
  • your business already has Groovv system, but is having problems with customers lining up for a long time
    • Groovv POS Flex allows one of your employee to bring the tablet around and accept orders before customer gets to the front of the line (Kitchen printer purchased separately)

Of course nothing is stopping you from ordering multiple of these devices under one account to run in sync, giving you more freedom on how your business can operate.  If you have any questions regarding how Groovv works, you can contact us here!

We made some sales! Here’s what we think – Printers!

Posted on by admin

It’s been a couple weeks since our grand opening and we now have enough data to draw various conclusions and the first thing we thought of when we saw the sales numbers was to see what our customers were buying, do some number crunching, draw some statisics and promote one or two products.

What really surprised us was the fact that most customers purchased items on either Tuesday or Friday we are about to hire professional number crunchers to determinate the cause behind this phenomenon, but please do contact us if you or your beloved ones have urge to purchase printers on Tuesday or Friday.

Speaking of printers, over 75% of the sales were printers (around 80% if counting orders with multiple printers as individual sale).  We have concluded that this confirms an existence of magical black hole which sucks in people’s thermal printers.

Our most popular item sold is POSBANK A10 Thermal Receipt Printer and the second most sold is Sam4s GIANT 100.  Honorary mention goes to EPSON TM-T20 II Thermal Receipt Printer for having the highest quantity sold in one single order.

POSBANK A10 – $169*

POSBANK A10

A10 is a unique looking printer with fast printing speed and supporting USB and Serial interface and comes in either black or white (we ran out of white version).  It is truly high quality product made in Korea.

A10 sports a unique stylish design that POSBANK products are known for and when asked, our customers actually do say that they were inclined to purchase A10 almost purely from how it looks.

Besides the style, A10 also houses very reliable internals designed to withstand any busy retail, restaurant environment.  With it’s jam free printer had with auto cutter, A10 eliminates any possible chance of our customers having an urge to hammer their jammed printers to dust.

It is by far our most sold product both on Amazon and on EveryPOS.com so numbers speak for themselves also.

Sam4s Giant 100 – $180*

GIANT 100

While A10 may have all the edges and elegant look, design concept of Giant 100 is completely different.  It is solely focused on efficiency and efficiency alone.  This little bugger is one of the smallest functional thermal receipt printer capable of printing 3-1/8 wide receipts at blazing fast 250 mm/sec printing speed, takes up only about 70% of many compact thermal printers, comes with USB, Serial and ETHERNET interface as default.

Giant 100 is also one of the affordable printer with Ethernet interface (both as add-on and default support).

Giant 100 also has standard features all of our printers have such as auto cutter and drop in paper loading, so we really think that primary selling point of this printer is the Ethernet support.

Epson TM-T20 II – $140*

Epson TM-T20

To our surprise, TM-T20 were not the top selling printer.  It is a widely known printer, it is the printer everyone thinks of when they are thinking about thermal receipt printers, and it really is everywhere.

Priced at $140 with USB + Serial interface, really tough exterior, and proven track record of Epson, you really can’t go wrong with TM-T20.

These printers may be leading our sales chart, but it doesn’t mean our other printers are not on par in terms of quality or efficiency.  Also we don’t have solid number of sales of products of other categories to draw any conclusions or share anything with you guys so give us some time for our next post.

We will periodically write posts like these to keep you guys informed about whats hot among our customers and whats not.
