"With opening a new marketplace, I needed a user-friendly POS system that could be implemented quickly and easily, and that offered all of the key features we needed to be successful. We found this and so much more in Markt POS," said Dave Capaldo, director of IT at Previte's Marketplace, which has locations in Weymouth and Hanover, Mass. "The platform enabled us to seamlessly open the store and get up and running as a full-service marketplace quickly and efficiently. The features and functionality of the cloud-based platform have allowed us to focus more of our time operating the store and making things work better. Features like deli scale integration and hourly sale reports help us provide the best possible modern experience to our customers who depend on us, while also supporting our multiple vendors. With the success we've had at Previte's Marketplace, I'm confident that we're equipped to handle our busiest days magnificently."
According to the vendor, more than 300 stores have already adopted Markt POS for their grocery operations across the United States.
