ShopKeep

ShopKeep was a cloud-based point of sale (POS) system designed for small and medium-sized businesses, particularly in the retail, restaurant, and quick service industries. The system offered features such as sales tracking, inventory management, customer relationship management (CRM), reporting, and employee management.

Originally founded in 2008, ShopKeep aimed to provide a simple and intuitive alternative to traditional, more complex POS systems. It primarily utilized iPad-based terminals and cloud storage, allowing businesses to access and manage their data from anywhere with an internet connection. The company focused on providing a user-friendly interface and robust functionality tailored to the needs of smaller businesses.

Key features of the ShopKeep POS system typically included:

• Transaction processing: Handling various payment methods, including cash, credit cards, and gift cards.
• Inventory management: Tracking stock levels, managing product details, and generating purchase orders.
• Reporting and analytics: Providing data on sales trends, popular items, and other key performance indicators.
• Customer management: Storing customer information, tracking purchase history, and managing loyalty programs.
• Employee management: Tracking employee hours, managing permissions, and generating payroll reports.

ShopKeep was acquired by Lightspeed Commerce in November 2020. As of 2021, the ShopKeep product was being integrated into the Lightspeed platform. Users of the ShopKeep POS system were being migrated to Lightspeed's offerings. The ShopKeep brand, as a standalone POS system, is no longer actively marketed or sold.
