Inventory software for retail shops
Shops with many products need stock counts that match the till, ideally across more than one store. Lightspeed Retail combines POS and inventory for deep catalogs and multi-store setups, from $89/mo for one register. It costs more than Square and annual contracts are common, so it is not for a shop wanting month-to-month terms.
