RetailEdge is retail point of sale and inventory management software developed by High Meadow Business Solutions, a company based in Rutland, Vermont. The company was founded in June 1989 and says it has provided POS software to retailers since then. The product is designed for single-store and multi-store businesses with sales and inventory needs.
The company describes its focus as narrow: it says it specializes in retail point of sale systems and nothing else. That focus shows in the product, which includes tools for specialty retail such as size and color matrixes, case breaks, age verification, and Mix & Match discounts.
High Meadow also sells POS hardware and services, and the RetailEdge site lists equipment, installation, training, and customization alongside the software.
RetailEdge runs as a POS and inventory system with business data kept local. The company says this keeps information accessible and secure, and it positions the software for places where cloud-based systems are not an option, such as hospital gift shops, college campuses, and museums.
At the register, staff process sales, apply discount rules, redeem gift cards, and record customer history. Behind the scenes, the system manages purchase orders, transfers, receiving, barcoding, quantities, costs, and prices.
Mobile options extend the system. The site describes mobile tablet POS, such as for bakery deliveries, and mobile solutions that let owners manage the business anywhere, even when disconnected from the Internet. Apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android retrieve a store's sales.
Sales features include fast checkout, customer sales histories, sophisticated discount rules, gift cards, and loyalty and customer rewards programs. Customer tracking tools display history and help build target customer lists.
Inventory tools cover on-orders, transfers, receiving, costs, prices, and barcoding. For apparel, 3-dimensional size and color matrixes organize items. Hundreds of reports show what is selling and what is not.
Payments support Apple Pay and EMV with a choice of credit card processors. The software also supports multiple locations, VAT, and international currencies. A QuickBooks data transfer moves deposit information, and RECAP lets outside services connect to RetailEdge.
