Mountain View, CA — February 3, 2009 — Small retailers want quick answers to three important questions: "What's selling?" "Who's buying?" and "How can I save and make more money?" To help answer those questions, Intuit Inc. said it is offering a new, expanded line of solutions for retailers that provide an alternative to the cash register.

First the company is offering QuickBooks Cash Register Plus, a software solution designed to help small retailers maximize profits by tracking sales and customers. The company has also introduced a new version of its QuickBooks Point of Sale software for retailers with more complex requirements, and a Web store service that integrates with QuickBooks Point of Sale 8.0 for store owners who want to reach new customers online and increase sales.

"Retailers need to know how their business is doing, but it is even more important that they make smart decisions, especially in today's economy," said Terry Hicks, general manager of Intuit's Retail Solutions Group. "Our expanded lineup offers retailers the ability to strengthen their business by bringing in more sales at checkout and putting money in the bank."

Hicks said Cash Register Plus automatically tracks sales data and runs instant reports to help retailers make more informed business decisions. It also automatically tracks customer information, enabling store owners to know who their best customers are and provide more personalized service.

QuickBooks Point of Sale allows users to track online and store inventory in one location, eliminating the need to switch between two different systems, Hicks said.

Finally, QuickBooks Point of Sale 8.0 enables retailers to oversee up to 20 stores from one location multi-store version of the software. New reports also help track inventory turn so retailers know how quickly items sell.
