When it comes to choosing an Epos system for your pro shop, be sure to compare apples with apples.
Here, four seasoned retailers, from a range of venues and businesses, share their insights on Xpos’s cutting-edge online system.

I really can’t see any draw backs from using the new Xpos software. Being able to access it from home or abroad is a huge positive for me, and is something the old system wouldn’t let you do. From a time-saving point of view, it’s great.
My PC broke a few months ago and, thankfully, I didn’t lose any data as it was all in the cloud. I know people think it won’t happen to them, but it is something to consider.
The stocktaking app, Xapp Pro, is brilliant. It’s easy to use and we can stocktake using the barcode scanner and our phones.
I just think Xpos has got it right. The system is specifically designed for golf which is where other companies fall down. It’s easy to navigate and very intuitive. It took us no time at all to learn how to use the cloud software and I just can’t fault it.

I’ve been with Xpos around eight years after it was recommended by my buying group, Foremost.
"the system has improved our stock control"
I switched to the cloud version four weeks ago. We were concerned at first as everything looked different, however, we soon realised how good it was. Things are in different places but the software is intuitive and everything makes sense. The functions are generally easier and the tutorial videos mean you don’t have to call up if you have a query.
The biggest thing for me has been how the system has improved our stock control. We now use the new stocktaking app, Xapp Pro, along with our barcode scanner, and, what used to take a whole day now takes less than an hour! The scanner recognises every barcode and it really is a breath of fresh air. We’re stocktaking more regularly now so I know that when I give my accountant the numbers, I’ll be bang on the money.

Technology plays a vital role in how we operate and it’s essential that our systems can stand up to what we need them to do.
"Remote access has been a game changer"
The implementation of Xpos forms part of our overall formula at Synergy Golf and that’s probably the best complement I can pay it. We use the system from its very basic capabilities through to a programme that drives everything: bar, driving range, golf shop and green fees. We trust it implicitly. This trust is not only based on the knowledge that Xpos is a highly advanced technology company, but also that they continue to invest in their support for clients.
As a multi-course management company, one of the best things of the cloud software is being able to see everything from our head office. Remote access has been a game changer and we can now report through the cloud without the need to bother the club mangers directly for information.

Moving to Xpos was a leap of faith as my old system wasn’t costing anything. I was assured I’d soon make my money back by having better control of stock and understanding of my margins, and I’m happy to say that was right.
I would say Xpos is even better in the cloud because you can access it anywhere. I can create a till at any location now. I have a laptop at home and access it to check sales or to do some uninterrupted work.
Another advantage is that I can sit in the office and manage the stock, rather than having to use the till at the front and impose on the shop team.
"there's no need to create products anymore"
Xcodes is a big bonus. I can scan something I haven’t previously had in stock and it’s recognised immediately so there’s no need to create products anymore. If you want to create a range of shoes, all the sizes and colours are there already. As a result, my reports are more accurate and I’m definitely more on top of things.
