July 16, 2014 (AUSTIN, TX) — Zing, a cloud-based Point of Sale (POS) start-up, today introduces its iPad app, Register by Zing. Register gives merchants the tools they need to grow their business: account management, payment processing, and real-time data analysis. Completely mobile, Register features easy-to-use integrations that provide merchants with real-time access to all their critical business information at anytime, from anywhere. When a customer makes a purchase over Register, the merchant will already know who they are, how they got there, and how they should handle them. Access to customer and company data is seamless the moment customer information changes, merchants know about it.
The Zing SaaS software platform is hosted entirely online, so merchants can download and install the software to their local system, access their data from any location, and integrate Register with existing solutions and POS hardware thats already deployed. Updates, upgrades, and backups become Zings responsibility, freeing up merchants to focus on their core business drivers rather than burn cycles on maintenance and operations.
“Enterprise-level merchants have benefitted from unified SaaS platforms and real-time operations for years, all of which require expensive custom development and integration,” said Zing CTO, Zack Angelo. “Register leverages Zing’s ability to bring enterprise-grade features and data access to SMB merchants while also leveraging the proven SaaS platforms, such as Bigcommerce, MailChimp, and Quickbooks Online that they already rely on.”
Historically, cloud-based POS companies have focused primarily on their own platforms with support and integration for existing systems falling very low on the priority scale. Zing believes that platform integrations are an important part of servicing its customer base. Zing’s platform is flexible and ala carte, allowing users to add integrations and services as their needs evolve over time and their business grows. With Register, merchants receive unified customer analysis across all sales channels (marketplace and brick and mortar), and to deploy customer retargeting and use social channels to talk to their customers.
“As a business owner, the day-to-day should be less software management and more business growth. Zing’s platform is intelligent and flexible enough to deliver relevant business data automatically rather than making the user ask for it. This data can be accessed from anywhere and acted on instantly,” said Zing CEO, Nate Stewart. “This means quicker reaction times and better conversion for merchants.”
With its SaaS platform, Zing sets itself apart from its competitors by giving merchants the flexibility and unsurpassed quality of its multiple, easy to use integrations. Right now, Register offers payments, ecommerce, and email marketing integrations, but that’s just the start. Zing plans to roll-out additional integrations this year that include: social, shipping and order management; online ordering (e.g., food and retail); accounting; and employee timekeeping. In addition, Zing plans to make Register will be available across all iOS, Android, Mac and Windows systems by the end of 2014.
