Explore the Advantages of Our Unique Co-Branded, Free White Label POS Software

In the competitive realm of Point of Sale (POS) solutions, Alexandria Computers is pioneering a distinctive approach to software branding and distribution. We're excited to introduce our innovative, co-branded Free White Label POS Software offer. This unique opportunity isn't just about redefining the concept of white label solutions; it's about forging a partnership that benefits both vendors and us as a software developer. A Unique Twist on Traditional White Labeling Typically, white label software allows a purchasing company to rebrand a product as its own, completely removing the original developer's branding. However, our approach deviates from this norm, offering a collaborative version of white label solutions. While we maintain our brand presence in the software, we integrate your branding prominently. This co-branding strategy is not just a testament to our software's quality and reliability but also a testament to our belief in partnership and mutual growth. Cost-Effective Solution for Your Business One of the most striking features of our offer is its cost-effectiveness. Traditional white label solutions can be prohibitively expensive, often involving significant upfront costs and ongoing fees. Our co-branded, Free White Label POS Software breaks this mold by offering the service without any financial commitment from you. This approach is not just about saving costs; it's about providing a viable, robust solution that enhances your brand's value and customer trust without burdening your budget. A Win-Win Distribution Strategy Our goal is simple yet strategic: to expand the distribution of our POS software. By partnering with us, reputable vendors with a strong online presence—be it through a well-established website or significant selling platforms like eBay or Amazon—will have the opportunity to feature our top-tier POS solutions. This requirement ensures that our software reaches a [...]

3 common hidden costs of POS Software

It is logical to think that when you purchase a POS Software (aka Point of Sale Software), the price of the software is your true and only cost, granted that the pricing plan is simple, perhaps a one-time payment and no additional monthly or ongoing payments are required. You could be wrong. SMS service: potential hidden costs and alternatives If your chosen POS software offers to send SMS messages to your customers, as one of its features, which is very useful in most cases and even necessary for Salon Software users (for appointment reminders) and Restaurant Software users (for announcing a table has become available - to people waiting for a table outside of the restaurant), and then the SMS marketing that POS Software users choose to resort to, you may find yourself using the SMS service feature of this POS Software, heavily. If the POS Software you chose is using a feature for SMS service, which simply integrates to another company's SMS service, that means the developers of the POS Software took the easy way out and instead of programming their own device for sending SMS from scratch, they use another company's service and that automatically means you will pay for every single SMS your POS Software will ever send. And chances are the developer of the POS Software will also get an affiliate commission on every SMS you send, from the 3rd party company that they forced you to use with their POS Software. So everyone wins, but you lose. Why ? Because there are POS Software developers, that program their own SMS features, completely independent form any 3rd party companies and use the Internet and your email account, to send the SMS [...]
