Why Online Payment Manager is Perfect for Your Business
(And Why QuickBooks POS Is Not)
Naka24 introduces Online
Payment
Manager,
an
innovative,
web-based
application to help store
managers control and track
payments received and
inventory flow.
OPM is
accessible from anywhere,
turning any workstation
into
an
online
cash
register.
OPM is designed for use
with any standard barcode
scanner, receipt printer,
touch-screen
monitor,
credit card reader, and
cash drawer, but it can also
be used with just a mouse
and keyboard.
After a secure login, an unlimited number of users are able to sell products,
collect dues, check product inventory, print a price list, reprint receipts, or
produce periodic activity reports. Security features limit access rights of users.
In contrast, Quickbooks Retail Pro POS allows only 5 local users on the system, and
no two may execute the same function at the same time. Five additional users
doubles the cost of the software to $2,800.

Users are asked to scan or key in the barcode of the item they are selling. Then
he/she can adjust the quantity, apply a discount, or consult a product list on this
screen. The touch-screen number pad shown above, combined with barcode
scanning greatly reduces the time required for each transaction.
Quickbooks POS does not offer touch-screen or barcode printing functionality.

Payments can be made by cash, check,
credit card, or gift card.
Upon
completion of the sale, a receipt may be
printed on a receipt printer or any
locally networked printer. In addition,
receipts can be accessed at anytime in
the future locally by the cashier or
remotely by a manager.
Quickbooks requires a proprietary laser
printer and does not allow for network
printing, limiting a store’s transactions
to one machine.

Online Payment Manager is a stable SQL/ASP.net web application and runs in
Internet Explorer, using very little system resources and freeing users to complete
other tasks. Current clients report, as of August 2005, OPM has never crashed.
Quickbooks Retail Pro requires a copy of the newest version of Quickbooks running
at all times, just to load the software! Due to this system resource hog, Quickbooks
Retail Pro crashes twice a month on average, according to current users.

Product inventory and pricing lists are intuitively designed, with an
easy to use “add” function. Vendors are free to create innumerable
categories of products and services.
The most common complaint with Quickbooks is that it is extremely
difficult to navigate. Ziff-Davis, publisher of PC Magazine, said the
same in their review.

As it is web-based, Online Payment Manager allows managers the freedom
and flexibility to check the books remotely anytime, day or night!
With Quickbooks Retail Pro, the manager is forced to go on-site to check
something as simple as daily receipts.

With Online Payment Manager, all clients receive year-round tech support
from the experts from Naka24 IT Solutions. If there’s a problem, we’re
local, so we’re ready and available to get problems fixed fast.
Intuit supports their software for a paltry 90 days*. At that point, they
charge $110 an hour to fix their own bugs within their own software.

Hear what current users are saying about Online Payment Manager:
“I like the fact that I'm not tied down to one computer and
one location. I can run a transaction through at any
computer. Its always working, and if the computer I'm on
isn't, I can go to the next one. It has never crashed.”
-Christine B.
Receptionist
More about Online Payment Manager…
“Of course its easy to use. I like the fact that its webbased - that way the staff can always cover for each other
... one person being busy doesn't matter. Its much more
user friendly than the other systems I've used. The report
detail level is extremely in-depth. I love the fact that day
by day, week by week, month by month, I can pull up an
exact number of what was sold and who it was sold to. I can
keep an accurate and accountable record of sales trends.
The ability to track customer purchases like that ... it helps
me increase the bottom line”
-Steve B.
Business Administrator

“I like the scanning functionality of it. I click and it
appears, its that easy. Its so simple for new employees to
learn - its completely self-explanatory, and it saves me
time. Instead of learning complicated software, I can
actually get work done! I also like the touch screen
environment - it’s really convenient.”
-Sarah C.
Receptionist
Hear what other users are saying about Quickbooks:
“I spent months entering data (expected for any startup business)
to find out that the program couldn't do what we wanted it to
do (we were told by CompUSA and Quickbooks support that it
would meet our requirements). Tech support is way, way, way too
expensive. We were quoted $110 per hour. Since Quickbooks POS
doesn't allow full exporting features, all of the data entry went
to waste. In addition, The data entry isn't done through a true
relational database system. This makes the data and the dataentry very redundant. Save yourself months of agony and stay
away from this product.”

More about Quickbooks…
“After buying the system, computer, printer, and the labor for
data entry for inventory it wound up being $4000. And I have
hardly anything to show for it. The purchase and voucher system is
horrible. It is hard to navigate. You can not customize anything to
suit your needs. The system deletes PO's if they are received after
the cancel date, not giving the system administrator the option of
override or issue a warning. The customer database is not that
great either, you can not add email address, or sort by attributes
other than locality. I would not recommend this to anyone. We are
going to try and return this system and start over with something
new. I am a small business in a small town with a horrible
economy. I can not afford the overhaul of a complete new system.
The old cash register is looking better each transaction that is
made through POS. My advice: WISH THIS QUICKBOOKS POS UPON
YOUR COMPETITION!”

More about QuickBooks…
“My biggest frustration has been its limitation to print tags. It will
not let you print on bar code printers. Not even ink jets. It only
prints on Laser printers. I tried calling tech support and they want
us to pay tons of money ($110 an hour) even if the questions are
pertaining to the bugs in their own software. After a lot of time
invested, it still does not feel worth it. Quickbooks should have
been better than this, to put their name on this product.”
