Acme Point of Sale is Built for Specialty Retail

Buy Low

Never over pay for inventory again. Save 5-7% (or more) when you cut perfect purchase orders. Invest the savings in your store, your staff or a well-earned vacation.

Sell High

It’s about high profit, not high price. Let the so-called super stores fight over the low end. You'll use tools and tactics that make saving a buck the last thing on your customer's mind.

Promote Profitably

Don't give up margin to gain sales. Reward new behavior. Promote profitably using tools that benefit you, your vendors and your customers. It's win, win win.

Do it Everywhere

Sell in store, online and everywhere in between. Use m-commerce and social media tools that are easy, intelligent, pain free and profitable. Turn repeat customers into raving fans.

Optimize & Thrive

Sharpen your digital pencil and optimize operations. Know where your profits come from and how to get more. Spend more time working ON your business, less time working in it.

Acme Worry Free IT

We go beyond the point of sale with an IT solution built for specialty retail. Enjoy performance, productivity and peace of mind. Perfect for putting more in your cash drawer.

You live in a world where the customer is always right (and so do we).

With Acme...

  • You can use what you have or get what you want, since Acme works with all major point of sale equipment.
  • Processors compete for your business and YOU win. Acme works with all card processors, ask about our favorites.
  • Acme is built for you, by you, (and top developers). We listen to our customers, they are always right.

With other products...

  • You toss perfectly good equipment for something that may not perform as well. But hey, it looks good.
  • You get locked you into their one processor. Captive to increasing rates, with no power to negotiate.
  • They will never walk a mile in your shoes, they think there should be an app for that.

Acme is the only point of sale system built for specialty retail and guaranteed before during and after you put it to use.
