Instore Adds Support for Star Micronics mPOP(TM) for iOS

SOMERSET, NJ--(Marketwired - Aug 8, 2016) - Instore, the world's easiest-to-use point-of-sale system, recently integrated the mPOP™ from Star Micronics to better address the needs of non-food retailers. Instore's iPad® POS system has already gained popularity amongst the food service industry, and is now expanding to cater to retailers as well. Star Micronics' mPOP™, Mobile Point of Purchase, is Star's first hybrid for tablet POS, combining a cash drawer and printer peripheral. After working with a number of Star's impact kitchen, thermal, and mobile receipt printers, Instore was eager to integrate the mPOP™ to provide the perfect hardware solution for its new retail platform.

Instore is a single, simple operating system for a retail business. Starting with point of sale, the Instore Pro platform includes labor management, customer rewards, CRM, marketing, gift cards, inventory management, reporting, and more. Merchants seeking an even simpler solution use Instore Terminal, which includes payments, gift cards, rewards, and CRM for one low price. Merchants in a wide variety of industries save time and money managing operations on Instore while growing sales through integrated features that inspire repeat customer visits.

"The mPOP™ is the perfect peripheral for Instore's new retail POS," says Matt Niehaus, CEO of Instore. "The modern look and feel along with its compact design matches perfectly with our simple yet powerful platform for small business. The integration was easy and will help spread the tablet POS revolution to even more small business retail environments."
