Best software for quilting shops.
Positive all the way. Solutions are always there when we come up with something new or unique to sell. It really helps guide the way I do business.
Pros
Rain Pos is dependable, well priced with instantaneous software help. The company LISTENS to their clients, I can't emphasize this enough. My POS is with me everywhere, at the doctor, on vacation, in bed at night.
Cons
I would like an end of day report on products loaded into the system.

Rain/LikeSew vs GoDaddy
I am glad I took the plunge, put in the work, with the help of friends, and moved the shop over to Rain/LikeSew this past summer. It was worth the hard work and effort. I can now offer my customers specials and appreciation programs, keep up with inventory and manage files more efficiently.
Pros
LikeSew is more precise at managing my inventory and handling the day-to-day business of running my fabric store than GoDaddy ever was. I now know exactly how much inventory I have on hand and it's value and what categories it falls into.
Cons
There could be some improvements in the email marketing program and the inventory receipt areas.

Disappointed
It was a rough year and a half trying to operate a business with that many mistakes from their side.
Pros
I liked that the website and the inventory were combined. That people could see in real time what we had in stock and purchase online. That was nice and was one of the main features of why we went with Rain originally.
Cons
We spent a lot of time and money on Rain POS. It was the first online computer software company we ever used for point of sale. I spent an entire year in 2017 logging our entire inventory, coming up with pricing and pictures and history on every item. We went live in 2018 and by April 2019 we were done with the contract side and we closed out the point of sale side by the end of that year. Their inconsistences within the contract module were too high. And every time we called in to tech support, all they could tell us what that there was a "glitch" in the system and they couldn't fix it within a timely manner. I really felt like I was losing the trust of my customers because of Rain's mistakes.

Because of the umbrella effect: It linked our website with our store inventory in real time with our rental contracts. Everything was in one place. Sadly it was too good to be true.Response from Rain Retail Software
Holly, thank you for taking time to share your experience with our POS software. Here at Rain, our main objective is helping small businesses like yours succeed, so the fact that you found us to be detrimental to your store is disheartening. We've been busy in the 12 months since you cancelled and have greatly improved our rent-to-own module. If you like, please contact us to see those enhancements.

Love this system!
I can get the reports I need and want. Tech support is wonderful. They are constantly updating and improving the software.
Pros
Product is very easy to use. It's nice that I can put items on my website right from the product page. Web page is easy to edit.
Cons
I wish there were more yarn and knitting notions vendors integrated into the system.

Rain POS
Pros
This is a great program that integrates a point of sale program with a website store that keep inventory stock levels on the website. The basics functions are easy to use and learn.
Cons
Rain POS needs to make some of the reporting more functional so that you can see product sales easier and for a monthly and yearly sense.
