PlazSales Paperless Business Solution Combines POS, Accounting, Customer & Ticket Management & Saves Paper, Time & Money

Digital system tracks sales and inventory, streamlines workflow and payroll, eliminates wasted paper and ink and could save businesses hundreds per month in processing fees

St. Louis, MO – December 1, 2016 – PlazSoft, a software development company run by serial entrepreneur Jeff Minnis, has created a paperless business solution, PlazSales, to save businesses paper, time and money.  A completely interactive digital system tracks multifaceted sales, rewards programs and inventory flow, streamlines employee workflow and payroll management, eliminates wasted paper and ink and could save businesses hundreds per month in processing fees.

Developed as an easier to use, more feature rich and better-priced alternative to the leading small business accounting software, PlazSales combines checkout, POS (Point of Sale), accounting, payroll, purchasing, customer and ticket management to help maximize productivity, sales, profitability and customer relationships.

“Using our competitor’s small business accounting software for years motivated me back in 2008 to begin developing an alternative solution that could save businesses time and money and also provide functionality that I thought was missing,” explained Minnis. “I also wanted to help businesses go green. After eight years, I’m excited to bring a robust solution to market!”

 PlazSales provides functionality and ease of use Minnis couldn’t find elsewhere. The solution:      

1.  Integrates POS and accounting functions seamlessly into one program that doesn’t require daily syncing between the two.
2.      Allows businesses to document activities and opportunities surrounding transactions or tickets to nurture customer relationships.

Interactive Digital System Helps Businesses Save Paper, Time & Money:

 To save on processing fees, customers will have the flexibility to choose their own payment processor, which is not an option with the competing software. Minnis explained, “I located an affordable payment processor who processes for large retailers and began using them in my store, Jeff Computers, where my team has developed and tested PlazSales. Since switching, we’ve saved hundreds per month compared to using the other software’s processor.”

PlazSales will include this low-priced payment processor as an option for customers who don’t wish to choose their own. “We’re happy to help businesses benefit from the research that saved us money,” said Minnis.

The interactive digital system eliminates wasted paper and ink, from the first transaction to the back-end processing. Electronic ticketing tracks work and sales, electronic receipts from an optional signature PIN pad are stored securely in the cloud, and employees can message each other electronically.

PlazSales also includes easy payroll management from AccuPay that could save businesses up to 50% compared to the leading payroll processor.  “It is fantastic to see an intuitive, easy-to-use alternative for business owners,” said Elizabeth Kintz of AccuPay.  “I have seen the outdated systems some business owners have in place, and PlazSales will provide an all-in-one back office solution to support accounting, POS, sales, payroll and customer tickets.”

PlazSales will be $499.99 per license. Expected to release late December 2016, the software runs on Windows PCs and tablets.

To help finalize the software, PlazSoft today launched an Indiegogo campaign. Offers include: $99 licenses for the first 50 supporters, $299 licenses for the next 75, and $30 for a scaled-back version for personal accounting.  The site contains details: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/plazsales-paperless-business-solution-saves-money#/. Funds will be used to add more features, polish existing ones, enhance the reporting, and license database and development tools.
