POS Solutions

The best point of sale systems are so easy to use and intuitive for both your employees and customers as to be all but invisible. A POS system should feel native to your business and include all the functionality you need now, with the potential to grow as your business does. At Mariner Business Solutions, we take the time to understand your business, both as it is today and as you imagine its future, so we can match you with the ideal POS solution to help your business grow.

Software

Mariner Business Solutions provides POS software that can integrate all your sales, back office, and customer loyalty functions into a single solution.

Our solutions let you configure your POS solution to make it easy to find the functions you use most. They let you handle sales, returns, orders, and layaways easily, even on one ticket. You can even enter tickets offline if necessary.

We offer four different software packages:

• LiquorPoint POS Software: LiquorPoint is a specialty liquor store POS system that is customizable to meet the needs of your business. It’s easy to manage sales, inventory, and operations for a single liquor store or multiple locations.
• GreenPoint POS Software: GreenPoint is POS software adapted to the specific needs of garden centers and nurseries. With its ease of ordering and tracking different cultivars, and the ability to look in detail at items, it can help salespeople advise customers about purchases. The ability to print bench and stake signs makes it easy for you to communicate information to browsing shoppers.
• CannaPoint POS Software: This seed to sale POS software solution was developed specifically for the cannabis industry. It includes functionality related to cultivation and processing as well as more traditional inventory tracking mechanisms. It also integrates with third-party apps such as Leafly and I Heart Jane, and it integrates with state tracking systems. This will simplify the process of state regulatory reporting requirements while making it easy to serve both medical and recreational marijuana customers.
• CounterPoint POS Software: This full specialty retail management system integrates all aspects of business operation for retailers. You can manage inventory, make sales, and communicate easily with staff at one retail store or across multiple locations, including pop-up locations at farmers’ markets and festivals.

Any of these POS software packages can help you manage retail operations in powerful ways. In addition to specific functions in each software package, they all include powerful pricing options, intuitive inventory management, and built-in loyalty and marketing options.

Powerful Pricing Options

With our POS software, you can easily utilize sophisticated pricing configurations to lure in potential customers. Assign up to six prices per item, including different pricing depending on an item’s size, color, and location. Create special pricing scenarios, including mix-and-match, BOGO, and volume pricing.

Intuitive Inventory Management

All our software solutions include inventory management options that make it easy for you to track your product, control loss, and deliver the goods wherever your customers need them. The software makes it easy to perform physical counts, transfer merchandise between stocking locations, and view your inventory quantities and locations at all times.

You can even integrate inventory management with pricing according to your rules: automatically discount the last inventory for quick sale or mark up rare items – it’s your choice.

Automatic Loyalty and Marketing Integration

It’s a lot more profitable to retain existing customers than it is to win new customers. There’s no reason your customer retention efforts shouldn’t start at your POS. Our software solutions let you track customers’ purchases, reach out to them via text or email with targeted promotions, and offer them loyalty rewards and discounts. It’s easy to use and you can choose which options make the most sense for your business.

Hardware

Mariner Business Solutions can also supply the hardware to support your business operations. From the actual registers you might use at a physical location to the networking tools you need for online sales and the security you need to protect both, we are your one-stop shop for equipping your retail operation.

Professional Services

Mariner Business Solutions prides itself on delivering software and hardware solutions that are intuitive and easy to use. In addition, we offer professional services to tailor these solutions to the unique needs of your business.

Training

We offer flexible training options, either at our facility, at your location, or online. You can choose from our wide range of courses or request a custom training package tailored to your specific needs.

Support

Mariner’s support technicians are here to answer your phone call personally. We are always here to provide support for our software. We provide technical support via phone, email, and portal access – and we’ll come to your location if needed. Our support is available during normal business hours M-F, and after hours and weekend support is available under Support Contracts. This live human support is one of the major ways we’re able to provide greater value than is possible from other POS system providers.

Compliance

Your business likely intersects with numerous regulations. Ensuring your business complies with all the requirements of these regulations is not easy for anyone, so we’re here to help. Many aspects of compliance are built into our software, including credit card security requirements, facets of cannabis compliance, and personal data protection. We also stay on top of PCI compliance to ensure payment and information security.

Our team can provide training to help your employees use these features properly and understand the compliance aspects they will have to be aware.

Project Management

Deploying powerful software packages like our POS solutions is not as simple as pressing a “download” button. But we are here to help ensure your installation goes smoothly. Our technicians have a combined 50+ years of experience with our software, so they know how to guide your people through installation of the software and data conversion from whatever system you used before – even if it’s just a spreadsheet. This can include building your network to support the software, if necessary. We can also customize the software to meet your needs, including new applications designed just for you.

Managed Security

Are you concerned about your network security? Let our team set up a complete, secure network for your data. We will help you with setting up LANs, WLANs, and VLANs with full firewall protection. We can help you establish separate public and company networks, including W networks.

Don’t wait for ransomware to hold your data hostage; we can help set up prevention steps, including remote data backup. Enterprise anti-virus can also protect your network, and we will respond rapidly in the event of problems, including continuous network health and diagnostic testing.

Cloud Services

Although we can supply you with the hardware to maintain your data and software on-site, we can also help you use cloud services for efficiency and security.

Hosted Apps

Rather than running all our software on native machines at a central business location, we can help your business run leaner by hosting all the apps on our servers. This includes our full business solutions:

• Counterpoint POS
• GreenPoint POS
• CannaPoint POS
• LiquorPoint
• Mariner Mobile Messaging
• Mariner Charts and Graphs Dashboard
• Mariner eCommerce
• Email Marketing
• Operational, Fraud, and Sales Alerts

Backup Solutions

Don’t risk losing your data, either to system failures, hardware damage, or ransomware attacks. We offer secure backup options, including

• On-site backups
• Remote backups
• Disaster recovery

Our solutions include the software, server space, and hardware as necessary.

Complete Network Monitoring

We can set up a dashboard to allow you to easily view your entire network and receive custom alerts. This includes a wide range of networked hardware and peripherals, including:

• Firewalls
• Switches
• Access points
• Secure entry devices
• Cameras
• Servers

And more. Whatever is part of your network, and you feel is worth monitoring, we can build a monitoring solution for.

Secure Remote Access

We can help you ensure that you and your employees can access all the vital information on your servers while maintaining adequate security. This includes managing mobile devices and home devices as well as setting up your VPN with two-factor authentication and controlled permissions for each user.
