KORONA POS

Per-terminal retail POS with processor choice and no forced contracts

Overview

KORONA POS is a cloud retail POS sold in the US by COMBASE USA, incorporated in 2011, which describes itself as drawing on the products and experience of COMBASE AG in Germany[11]. The software runs a real-time back office over checkout terminals and is priced per terminal, with unlimited users and sales[10].

The Core plan covers checkout, the product database, sales reports, manual discounts, gift cards and open API access. Retail, the most-sold tier, adds inventory counts, real-time stock tracking, barcode automation, shelf and price labels, supplier ordering, customer management, promotions and KPI reports. Plus adds ABC analysis, top- and slow-seller reports, multi-location inventory tools, per-store pricing, assortment clean-up, store comparisons and accounting exports. Add-on modules extend it to food service, invoicing, ticketing with entry gates and franchise management[10].

KORONA’s distinctive points are that it is processing agnostic, so a retailer can keep an existing acquirer, and that it offers month-to-month contracts with an unlimited free trial and 24/7 in-house support. The per-terminal model becomes expensive for stores with many lanes, and the Integration module costs US$45 per token per month[10].
