Harbortouch Takes On Tablet Point-of-Sale Solutions With Sleek, Built-for-Purpose Echo POS System

ALLENTOWN, Pa., April 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Harbortouch, a leading national point of sale (POS) system and merchant services provider, today announced the general availability of Harbortouch Echo, a sleek, built-for-purpose POS system designed to support the durability, functionality and affordability requirements of retail and restaurant businesses. Echo combines the power and functionality of a traditional POS system with the simplicity and sleek design of a tablet-based system.

Unlike the wide array of off-the-shelf tablet POS systems that often fail in commercial environments, Harbortouch Echo is designed to handle real-world retail and restaurant conditions. In addition, Echo offers a robust set of front-end and back-end features that give their businesses a competitive advantage, including:

• Unique, module-based software: Highly customizable, the software makes it simple for businesses to utilize only the features they really need. This allows them to maintain an uncluttered interface for simplicity and ease of use by their personnel and managers.
• Hybrid cloud technology: Echo provides clod benefits, such as real-time reporting and redundant back-up, while maintaining the advantages of a local system—faster speed and the ability to operate if the Internet goes down.
• Sleek, modern design: Echo's all-in-one design and brushed aluminum finish provides maximum durability. A 13.3 inch screen delivers better usability compared to the considerably smaller screen sizes of the tablets in the marketplace today. In addition, Echo's base can swivel to allow customers to sign on-screen for credit card transactions.
• 24/7 customer support: As with all Harbortouch systems, the Echo deployment includes extensive free training and around-the-clock customer support, and most notably, free equipment replacements if the system ever breaks or malfunctions.

"In recent years, tablet-based mobile POS systems have generated a lot of attention," notes Harbortouch CEO, Jared Isaacman. "But now, we are starting to see a backlash against these tablet systems as merchants realize their limitations. Harbortouch Echo gives business owners the design they want with the capabilities they need to succeed in today's world."

Echo is offered as part of the company's ground-breaking free POS system program, providing merchants the equipment they need with no up-front costs. For more information on Harbortouch's free POS program, visit www.harbortouch.com.
