Sureworks Announces Revolutionary, Cloud-based Point of Sale Software

Online, August 22, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Sureworks, based in Irvine, Calif., has announced that the company is seeking beta sites for its revolutionary, Point-of-Sales (POS) system that's designed to help retail and restaurant owners quickly realize profits without major cash outlays. Sureworks is also introducing a new logo design that captures the unique aspect of the smart software architecture.

Sureworks Checkout tracks sales, manages inventory and enhances customer service. Sureworks Checkout will be offered as a service at subscription pricing, delivering all of the functionality of a standard, on-site POS application at minimal cash outlay. Unlike other web-based POS software applications, Sureworks is a smart SaaS (software as a service) application that works online and offline. All of the data is stored in our secure online cloud and each individual register has its own local database in case Internet connection loss.

According to Michael Fitchett, CEO, the company's POS solution gives users the added bonus of having their data stored in our secure online cloud-based servers, which are easily accessible anywhere in the world and deliver redundancy to ensure that data is always safe. "Sureworks Checkout eliminates the need for back office servers or data recovery plans - we do all the work to ensure data safety," stated Fitchett. He adds, "Since data is stored in our secure online cloud server, corporate executives or store owners now have the ability to view reports and register status from anywhere, at any time."

Sureworks Checkout key product features include:
• Runs on Windows, Mac, Linux & Tablet Devices
Sureworks Checkout was built utilizing Adobe Flex technologies so the same application can run on all operating systems.
• Works Online & Offline
Sureworks Checkout can be run online through a browser, or be downloaded through the smart client and run locally. The smart client delivers the added bonus of creating a local copy of data that lives in the cloud. This enables users to operate without an Internet connection. Once an Internet connection is detected again, all data is synced to and from the cloud.

Step 3. Login and all data are automatically synced from the cloud to the local machine.
