Juggling new products, pricing changes, promotional programs and inventory shifts can be a daunting challenge for small shops or mega-retailers alike, and changing POS systems or updating tools to keep up is complicated. Is it worth it to change your POS system? How can you be sure you're using the right one?

To get the answers you need, you can listen to this valuable webinar at any time as a SNEWS subscriber by going here to view the recorded webinar at your convenience. In this special class, The Alpine Shop's co-owner Lisa Hollenbeck -- who led her award-winning company through a complete POS transition and has come out the other side with stories, tips and warnings about what to look for and how to survive a change -- offers up insights and lessons learned that will be useful for any retail manager, buyer, owner or executive.
