About Revel Systems

Revel Systems POS provides a single solution for iPad sales which is aimed at multi-location businesses. Revel has been designed to integrate with a wide range of businesses. Though it offers a complete POS solution, the application’s features extend beyond point-of-sale to include customer relationship management, inventory management, automated ordering, and more. Revel Systems POS integrates with many popular third-party business apps, allowing users to work it into accounting and reporting routines.

Revel Systems POS manages POS from a single intuitive interface. The app includes employee scheduling, inventory tracking and management, and detailed reporting, reducing the need for additional software.

The application provides customer relationship management (CRM) that stores customer data, including purchase history, preferences, and more. Revel Systems POS also offers hardware support, including a card reader that works through the 30 pin connector which also allows for charging the iPad. The application supports other POS-related hardware devices, including printers.

The software has a fully customizable API and a customizable graphical user interface (GUI) windows. Security features include PCI-P2PE compliance. Revel Systems POS also allows businesses to accept Bitcoins as a form of payment.

Very good functionality and high quality reporting system. I think this one one of the most advanced POS systems I have used.

Pros

Revel is user friendly and I love that we can use it with iPads.

Cons

There are some glitches and system can freeze from time to time. I have also had difficulties with our other software that integrates with Revel. The two systems often stop communicating with each other.

Response from Revel Systems

Thanks very much for the feedback, Javier! We're constantly trying to improve the quality of our products and services and appreciate you bearing with us through the bumps.

Lots of restaurants and retail stores I frequent use Revel. I would try Revel again if given the choice, but I would make sure to get my employees trained in troubleshooting themselves to avoid the potential of a customer service snafu.

Pros

I work for a small college bookstore that recently transitioned from an ancient, outdated POS system. We were all so excited about Revel. It's sleek, easy to use, and much simpler than many of its predecessors.

Cons

The biggest trouble we ran into is that Revel is hopelessly buggy, and I would sometimes be on the phone with customer service for an hour before getting my problem resolved. For a small business with only one cash register, this was often a nightmare.

Response from Revel Systems

Thanks very much for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that our system fell short of your expectations, but hope you give us another chance in the future. We're constantly working to improve the quality of our products and services.

Revel is a smart choice for small business owners looking to use the iPad as their POS

Reviewed on 30/04/2018

A POS system that is reliable most of the time.

A POS system that is reliable most of the time.

Pros

There are many POS providers out there today but I think Revel does a great job for small business owners. They utilize a familiar hardware (iPad) and turn it into a POS system that's easy to navigate. Being in a rush or training new employees can be a disaster if you have the wrong POS system but Revel does a great job with their easy layout.

Cons

Customer service can be disastrous at times, especially if your POS system is down during a rush. It doesn't happen frequently but it does happen so you should be aware of that before making your choice.
