Big Hairy Dog Information Systems

Big Hairy Dog Information Systems offers Point-of-Sale, Quickbooks, hardware and inventory management solutions for retail industries. Put simply, it is about ringing up sales in person and syncing them with inventory.

It makes the most sense for shops, restaurants and pop-ups. They also list Point of Sale, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a small product team themselves (11 to 50 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Big Hairy Dog Information Systems is based in Sacramento, California and founded in 1993. More on bighairydog.com.

Things worth asking about: hardware, offline mode, and processing fees. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
