Why stores switch

## What stores switching from Cumulus Retail love

Here is what owners tend to focus on when they compare Cumulus Retail with Rundoo.

**Fast, where it used to lag.** Rundoo is cloud-native and quick at the counter, instead of slow boot times and freezes.

**Find anything in two keystrokes.** Search across products, customers, and old sales from the same bar, instead of fighting weak product search.

**One system, online and in store.** Your storefront and counter share the same data, with no manual weekly imports to keep them in line.

**Month-to-month, and your data is yours.** No multi-year lock-in, and your sales history comes over when you switch instead of getting stranded.
