The hard questions to ask before you trust a cloud POS, answered straight.
Switching off a system you know inside out is a big decision. With the safety of your store on the line, it should be. At Rundoo, we want you to ask the tough questions, and we will give you the honest answers you need to make the decision.
Straight answers on uptime, security, and your data
If you are wondering why you might switch from your old system to Rundoo, look no further. Safety, security, and control, that is what Rundoo can offer you.
On the old system
The POS crashes on a busy Saturday, and someone runs updates after close
Rundoo offers a POS that runs in a web browser, so the version you open is always the current one, whether you open it at the register, on a tablet, or in the back office, and fixes, features, and security updates arrive on their own with nothing to install after close.
We no longer have to switch between counter and back-office systems, as all our data is centralized in one web-based tool.
On the old system
A dead hard drive, with no cloud backup, can take the business with it
Rundoo offers cloud storage that keeps your records off your counter machines and safely backed up on secured servers. If a computer crashes, your data remains safe, while your overall system runs faster and stays protected.
I think every garden store should have your guys' system. Your system's fantastic.
On the old system
Stored card numbers sit on the machine for a break-in to grab
Rundoo offers payments that run through Stripe and are processed on Stripe's servers, so the card numbers were never on your machine to begin with, which leaves nothing for a break-in to steal and greatly reduces your PCI burden.
Anytime we have a problem, I get to reach out to one of these guys and it's like they figure it out while I'm on the phone with them. They've answered everything, and they always respond quickly.
On the old system
With no permissions, everyone who logs in can see every store and every number
Rundoo offers permissions that split access the way you need it to. Staff can access one location, or all. They can also only access the functions and data in Rundoo that you want them to see. As the owner, you can still log in and see into every location, keeping it easy for you.
The location switcher has been amazing.
On reliability, security, and uptime

Simple assembly in Rundoo: how to repot, pre-bag, and build a new product without breaking your cost of goods
Rundoo is not manufacturing software and we will not pretend otherwise, but a purchase order that balances to zero will turn four components into one finished product, carry the whole cost of goods across with it, and leave you room to mark up the work.
