More than just POS, LightSpeed for iPad is an interactive sales tool that elevates the shopping experience. A novel and captivating Show & Tell feature allows sales reps to use the iPad to share expanded product details and up to five zoomed images on a stylish curtained backdrop. The iPad’s vivid high-resolution display lets customers and salespeople alike view detailed images of store inventory that is not close at hand, whether it’s apparel, hard goods or large items where the increased size of the image provides important detail. Transactions can be completed with a few taps and a credit card swipe, all right on the iPad.

“Show & Tell really changes the game for brick-and-mortar retailers because they can use this interactive sales tool to involve the customer in product selection and purchase, all within a sleek user interface on iPad,” said Dax Dasilva, founder and CEO of LightSpeed. “In this highly competitive age, customer experience is paramount. Show & Tell elevates the sales experience for both the retailer and the consumer.”

LightSpeed for iPad goes well beyond other tablet deployments that are just simple payment-taking devices for use in quick-service environments. “LightSpeed for iPad is an extension of a fully integrated, inventory-centric retail system that moves seamlessly from the front counter, to online, to wherever your customers are – using Mac, iPhone, iPod touch and, now, iPad,” said Dasilva. “Because of the exceptional experience it offers customers, LightSpeed gives consumers a reason to come into the store.”

LightSpeed for iPad gives retailers the freedom to create new invoices, scan barcodes, and add or create customer profiles on the fly on the showroom floor, at the front counter, or even beyond the store at an off-site sales event. Retailers can swipe or manually process credit card payments, accept signatures on-screen, and email or wirelessly print receipts using this latest addition to the family of LightSpeed retail tools for Mac, Mobile and eCommerce. Using LightSpeed for iPad, retailers can also activate or redeem gift cards, and perform inventory lookups to find out what’s in stock, what’s on reserve and what’s on order for any product.

“LightSpeed for iPad has really helped us out in a huge way and taken the store to a whole different level,” said a sales associate from Saturdays Surf NYC, an apparel retailer that caters to a lifestyle occupied with surfing, living and working in New York City. “It’s so much easier – we can help our customers anywhere in the store do invoices and process credit card payments. In just a few taps on the iPad, the customer’s out the door with everything they love and we know it’s been done right.”

LightSpeed for iPad rewrites the retail playbook by adding the flexibility to showcase and sell anywhere. LightSpeed products are multi-user, multi-store and extensible through a developer API so that software never limits retail aspirations.

The LightSpeed for iPad app is a free download on the iTunes App Store and requires a LightSpeed Server with one available user license per iPad client, available for purchase from LightSpeed Sales or a local LightSpeed reseller. LightSpeed for iPad requires an iPad or iPad 2 running iOS 5 or higher.

LightSpeed for iPad is compatible with the Socket Bluetooth barcode scanner, iDynamo credit card swipe and the Ingenico i6580 terminal for wirelessly processing credit and debit transactions.

From headphones to iPods, and cases to Macs, whatever your budget, we can help you find the right item to make a memorable smile this holiday season.  Come visit our store and let us show you some great gift ideas for this season!

Thank you to all our customers for supporting us over the years and we wish everyone Happy Holidays!

On September 1st we opened our doors at 689 3rd Street in San Francisco. At first we really didn’t have much, if any, of a retail presence. Our main offerings were business support services and consulting. While that is still a big part of our business and working with other businesses will continue our focus on small and medium sized businesses, we have grown into a full service sales and service store open to all.

We have dramatically grown our retail operations as well as in store service and repair. We also still offer onsite IT services. We thank you for your continued support over the years. We are in a very competitive industry and we really appreciate when you choose to do business with us. We will continue to build our business to provide more offerings to make the decision to shop with us an easy one.

As a special thank you and to celebrate 10 years in our current location, we’re going to have several specials throughout the month of September 2011.

First and foremost, for the entire month of September 2011, buy any new Mac with AppleCare and we’ll give you 10% back! The 10% will be mailed to you in the form of a Create More gift card that you can use for future purchases. Buy a new Mac now and have a holiday shopping spree later!

Add to your savings with our “add a bag deal” and buy a new Mac laptop with AppleCare and choose from selected bags and cases for an additional $10 (values up to $100).

Throughout the month we will have other $10 and 10% off deals to celebrate 10 years. We’ll have some other great deals as well!

Be sure to check out our huge selection of sale items.  Most items will be $10 or less.

Some restriction do apply to our 10% back offer. Gift cards will be mailed. The $10 “add a bag” is limited to stock on hand of selected bags. Please see store for details on all specials.

Great protection and style is the perfect addition to your daily routine with our selection of brightly colored backpacks and messenger bags. 20% off this month! (October 2011)

So in many ways, buying from us is the same as buying form a major chain, however, once you move beyond pricing, we’d like to think we have a lot more to offer. No appointment service drop off, a relaxed shopping environment, products the chains don’t carry… all with a local, independently owned feel. If you haven’t shopped with us, give us a try. We’ll take good care of you.
