ALLENTOWN, PA (9/6/13) – Leading national point of sale (POS) system and merchant services provider Harbortouch has released a free iOS app that provides the company’s retail customers with a simple and easy way to import their store’s inventory into their new Harbortouch POS system. The industry-leading Harbortouch POS system is offered as part of a revolutionary free equipment program that supplies a full-featured POS system to restaurants and retail businesses with no up-front cost.

Harbortouch CEO states, “One of the biggest obstacles for any retail business when setting up a POS system is entering the inventory. For merchants who don’t have a digital file of their inventory, there has never been an easy way to input this information. This has been an issue for as long as POS systems have been around, until now. We developed this app to save our merchants time and to eliminate the frustration that was often associated with this process.”

The time-saving app (compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) utilizes a single line scanner which plugs directly into the mobile device. The app uses a simple interface for the merchant to enter each item in their store and pulls product information from multiple retail databases to minimize manual entry. Once all items have been entered, the merchant can simply submit their newly created database to Harbortouch. This app enables merchants to seamlessly import and synchronize their inventory, eliminating the need for unwieldy and expensive barcode scanners required by other systems.
