backend. It does integrate with Quickbooks, so maybe some of the same
integration techniques used with Quickbooks would work, but I
understand that API not to be very good.
In regard to Retail Pro, how was it? I'm scared to spend money on a
good system if it makes sense. In a perfect world, it would be a system
that supported all the generic retail operations including inventory,
the data was in a mainstream database, was deployed using Ethernet,
allowed external systems to update its inventory, and used more modern
hardware.
