Why Online Payment Manager is Perfect for Your
Business
(And Why QuickBooks POS Is Not)
2
Naka24 introduces Online Payment Manager, an
innovative, web-based application to help store
managers control and track payments received and
inventory flow. OPM is accessible from anywhere,
turning any workstation into an online cash
register. OPM is designed for use with any
standard barcode scanner, receipt printer,
touch-screen monitor, credit card reader, and
cash drawer, but it can also be used with just a
mouse and keyboard.

After a secure login, an unlimited number of
users are able to sell products, collect dues,
check product inventory, print a price list,
reprint receipts, or produce periodic activity
reports. Security features limit access rights of
users. In contrast, Quickbooks Retail Pro POS
allows only 5 local users on the system, and no
two may execute the same function at the same
time. Five additional users doubles the cost of
the software to 2,800. Source www.intuit.com

Users are asked to scan or key in the barcode of
the item they are selling. Then he/she can adjust
the quantity, apply a discount, or consult a
product list on this screen. The touch-screen
number pad shown above, combined with barcode
scanning greatly reduces the time required for
each transaction. Quickbooks POS does not offer
touch-screen or barcode printing
functionality. Source www.intuit.com

Payments can be made by cash, check, credit card,
or gift card. Upon completion of the sale, a
receipt may be printed on a receipt printer or
any locally networked printer. In addition,
receipts can be accessed at anytime in the future
locally by the cashier or remotely by a manager.
Quickbooks requires a proprietary laser printer
and does not allow for network printing, limiting
a stores transactions to one machine. Source

Online Payment Manager is a stable SQL/ASP.net
web application and runs in Internet Explorer,
using very little system resources and freeing
users to complete other tasks. Current clients
report, as of August 2005, OPM has never
crashed. Quickbooks Retail Pro requires a copy
of the newest version of Quickbooks running at
all times, just to load the software! Due to
this system resource hog, Quickbooks Retail Pro
crashes twice a month on average, according to
current users. Source www.cnet.com

Product inventory and pricing lists are
intuitively designed, with an easy to use add
function. Vendors are free to create innumerable
categories of products and services. The most
common complaint with Quickbooks is that it is
extremely difficult to navigate. Ziff-Davis,
publisher of PC Magazine, said the same in their
review. Source www.pcmag.com

As it is web-based, Online Payment Manager allows
managers the freedom and flexibility to check the
books remotely anytime, day or night! With
Quickbooks Retail Pro, the manager is forced to
go on-site to check something as simple as daily
receipts. Source www.intuit.com

With Online Payment Manager, all clients receive
year-round tech support from the experts from
Naka24 IT Solutions. If theres a problem, were
local, so were ready and available to get
problems fixed fast. Intuit supports their
software for a paltry 90 days. At that point,
they charge 110 an hour to fix their own bugs
within their own software. Source

Hear what current users are saying about Online
Payment Manager
I like the fact that I'm not tied down to one
computer and one location.  I can run a
transaction through at any computer. Its always
working, and if the computer I'm on isn't, I can
go to the next one.  It has never
crashed. -Christine B. Receptionist

More about Online Payment Manager
Of course its easy to use.  I like the fact that
its web-based - that way the staff can always
cover for each other ... one person being busy
doesn't matter. Its much more user friendly than
the other systems I've used. The report detail
level is extremely in-depth. I love the fact
that day by day, week by week, month by month, I
can pull up an exact number of what was sold and
who it was sold to. I can keep an accurate and
accountable record of sales trends. The ability
to track customer purchases like that ... it
helps me increase the bottom line -Steve
B. Business Administrator

More about Online Payment Manager
I like the scanning functionality of it. I
click and it appears, its that easy. Its so
simple for new employees to learn - its
completely self-explanatory, and it saves me
time. Instead of learning complicated software,
I can actually get work done! I also like the
touch screen environment - its really
convenient. -Sarah C. Receptionist

Hear what other users are saying about Quickbooks
I spent months entering data (expected for any
startup business) to find out that the program
couldn't do what we wanted it to do (we were told
by CompUSA and Quickbooks support that it would
meet our requirements). Tech support is way, way,
way too expensive. We were quoted 110 per hour.
Since Quickbooks POS doesn't allow full exporting
features, all of the data entry went to waste. In
addition, The data entry isn't done through a
true relational database system. This makes the
data and the data-entry very redundant. Save
yourself months of agony and stay away from this
product.

More about Quickbooks
After buying the system, computer, printer, and
the labor for data entry for inventory it wound
up being 4000. And I have hardly anything to
show for it. The purchase and voucher system is
horrible. It is hard to navigate. You can not
customize anything to suit your needs. The system
deletes PO's if they are received after the
cancel date, not giving the system administrator
the option of override or issue a warning. The
customer database is not that great either, you
can not add email address, or sort by attributes
other than locality. I would not recommend this
to anyone. We are going to try and return this
system and start over with something new. I am a
small business in a small town with a horrible
economy. I can not afford the overhaul of a
complete new system. The old cash register is
looking better each transaction that is made
through POS. My advice WISH THIS QUICKBOOKS POS
UPON YOUR COMPETITION!

More about QuickBooks
My biggest frustration has been its limitation
to print tags. It will not let you print on bar
code printers. Not even ink jets. It only prints
on Laser printers. I tried calling tech support
and they want us to pay tons of money (110 an
hour) even if the questions are pertaining to the
bugs in their own software. After a lot of time
invested, it still does not feel worth it.
Quickbooks should have been better than this, to
put their name on this product. Source
