There's no opportunity for the employee to mis-key the price or read the wrong price or have to call for a price check on an unknown item. Scan an item and add it to the order in confidence the price is correct.

    Built-in support for a customizable Touchscreen interface. You can also use your keyboard and mouse to control the POS functions.

    What our Customers are Saying

    Wanted to thank you for your support on an issue in Mac Pos I had the other day, I purchased MacPOS back in 1985 and am still using it daily to run my screen printing business, I don't use it to it's fullest, just the basic invoicing, P.O.s and sales reports.

    If I ever had a question ( and I had several when starting up ) you were always there to help me out, 30 years later you're still there to help me out I would recommend MacPos for any business, it's been a great asset to mine, one of the best business decisions I ever made.

    Your support was fantastic while we setup the POS in 5 of our stores. We can't thank you enough for your patience and assistance getting our products imported and customizing the layout of the interface and giving it our 'branding'.

    MacPOS works great for us in over 150+ locations throughout Australia collecting sales data from each one and sending it back to our corporate headquarters for processing.

    In January, MAC Cosmetics, like many beauty brands, was relying on revamped standalone stores to create one-of-a-kind destinations for its specific set of shoppers. Through exclusive product, services and events, these stores offered a way to nail that one-to-one relationship with customers. But that, of course, was pre-pandemic.

    Stores that sell beauty (with the exception of essential doors) first shut down in March, and those that have reopened have now had to contend with strict safety standards that take the so-called surprise and delight out of beauty shopping: There's no useable testers or sampling, and much more reticent shopping behavior. In China, where there has been somewhat of a bounceback, beauty traffic remains down 9-43% compared with pre-coronavirus levels, according to McKinsey.

    Mac Retail Manager

    While indie brands have relied on their e-commerce sites to act as community and sales hubs since Covid-19, heritage brands like MAC have gone far and wide with new retail distribution. On Tuesday, MAC announced its new relationship with QVC, launching 14 bundled kits (or 666 product options) on air, on its site and through social shopping platforms, like Instagram Shop. This new relationship rounds out MAC's new forays in 2020; it kicked off partnerships with Boots and Asos in the U.K. earlier this year.

    'We are constantly evolving our distribution footprint to make our products and collections more accessible to consumers around the world, while also introducing the brand to new consumers,' said Philippe Pinatel, global brand president of MAC Cosmetics, of the latest partnership. 'QVC is a retailer that is dedicated [to] delivering the joy of discovery through the power of relationships, [making] shopping for products more convenient and accessible.'

    QVC has typically served an older customer — women 45 years old and above. But Rob Robillard, the company's svp of merchandising culinary, electronics and merchandising operations, said MAC is an 'iconic brand and a leader in the color cosmetics and makeup space.' He added, 'When we have an opportunity to collaborate with a brand of this caliber, not only does our customer benefit significantly, but we provide the brand with a unique platform that fosters meaningful customer engagement, real time feedback and unparalleled reach. Our live broadcast creates an opportunity unlike any traditional retail environment which has become exponentially important this year.' Robillard on-boarded MAC onto QVC and previously acted as vp of integrated beauty at parent company Qurate Retail Group.

    In second-quarter results announced in August, Qurate Retail Group saw revenue increase by 10% year-over-year to $3.4 billion, with reported growth from QVC and HSN coming from the home, electronics and beauty categories.

    While QVC will be leveraged to reignite MAC's Gen X and older audience, the brand's relationships with Boots and Asos are aimed at appealing to millennials and Gen Z.

    'Asos offers an edit of best-selling face and body brands tailored to 20-somethings, and the MAC partnership aligns with our shared goal of empowering 20-somethings to confidently be themselves,' said Alex Scolding, Asos head of buying for face and body. Scolding said Asos has been making strides in the face and body categories, adding Olaplex, Lanolips, DrPawpaw, Conair and Charlotte Tilbury to its assortment just this year.

    QVC may seem a surprising play for MAC, given its recent millennial and Gen Z moves — outside of the launches with Boots and Asos, that includes the brand's debuts of its Underground drop program, AR try-on tools and regional influencer squads. But in a way, it's to be expected since, at the end of the day, MAC is a huge brand and needs to pull many levers to maintain relevance and market share. While MAC would not share sales information, parent company Estée Lauder Companies saw full year net sales decrease by 4% to $14.29 billion from the year prior. Its color cosmetics sales declined 18% overall, and all of its brands' makeup sales declined with the exceptions of La Mer and By Kilian, which are not penetrated as deeply in makeup.

    Thus, on QVC, MAC will be leaning into its skin-care storytelling. Iris Navarrete, MAC Cosmetics vp of artist training and development, and Fatima Thomas, MAC Cosmetics senior national artist, will be leading the charge on-air on October 6 in a two-hour QVC segment. Both Navarrete and Thomas started building buzz on Facebook Live last week and will go live on Instagram later this week.

    'We know MAC can bring elevated drama and intensity with our makeup, but now, it's about being natural and having a flawless face at home,' said Navarrete. 'For example, we're mixing our Studio Fix Foundation with our Strobe Cream for more of a tinted moisturizer look on-air to help demystify our shade range and products.' While the 666-product assortment covers face, lip and eye products, Navarrete said the bulk of the assortment is through iconic franchises like the Studio Fix Foundation and Studio Fix Powder.

    Historically, it's founders, like Josie Maran, who turn the dial for QVC sales, but Pinatel is confident MAC's artist-forward approach will work well for the platform. 'We also know that consumers sometimes are overwhelmed by our large product selection, or want to self-navigate our stores and play with our products without relying on an artist for assistance. So we're exploring ways to adapt our retail model accordingly,' said Pinatel. He compared the QVC channel to MAC's Experience Center in Shanghai, which is a mobile-first retail concept where shoppers can navigate the entire store experience using the WeChat app.

    And though the emphasis across beauty remains on shopping online, for now, Pinatel underscored that stores are still very much a part of the brand's holistic strategy. Case in point: the brand's MAC Innovation Lab, which launched last week at Queens Center Mall in New York City. It is meant to be a 'testing ground for MAC's ongoing retail transformation' in the states for standalone stores.

    'The store is designed to create a more experiential and approachable shopping experience for beauty enthusiasts of all levels, with a range of new omnichannel experiences to help consumers play with and explore new products and styles; it includes an immersive Art Studio, Design Your Palette station and custom printing experience,' he said. 'The store provides consumers with a more hyper-local shopping experience, with a product assortment and featured makeup looks tailored to the local Queens community.'
