Moving from Lightspeed to CirclePOS – A Review
Huxley and Hiro is an independent bookstore in Wilmington, Delaware. Named after the owners’ Maine Coon cat Huxley and Shiba Inu dog Hiro.
The move to CirclePOS came after using a modified version of Lightspeed for some time. There were quite a few reasons for our move: Lightspeed is similar to Square: fantastic interface, easy to learn, etc but not intended for books and therefore cannot pull information by ISBN for example. We were wasting massive amounts of time modifying spreadsheets from Edelweiss, trying to get as much data as possible, and if a price increased over time (happening a lot now with inflation), the system wouldn’t know.
