We met Steve Volante, from Volante Farms, at a garden center trade show in February 2010.  He was researching point of sale systems for his business and walked past our booth. After the initial meet and greet, Steve spent the next 18 months deciding on the best point of sale system for his business. We met, we talked and we met again. In September of this year, Steve chose J.D. Associates and Microsoft Dynamics POS 2009. Talk about a twin-win!

Why did Volante Farms choose the HP ap5000 all-in-one unit?

• The HP ap5000 unit has a small form factor--it doesn't take up a lot of space and that leaves more room for customers to stack their purchases on the counter.
• And, Steve Volante can pack it away if he doesn't need it during less-busy months. It's 'retail-hardened' and can withstand extreme temperature changes.

Why does Volante Farms like Microsoft Dynamics POS 2009? 

• Steve can create seasonal screens making this touchscreen interface so easy to use when tendering a sale.  Placing images of Christmas trees, wreaths, flowers or vegetables, makes the customer experience at POS fast and accurate.
• Training was a breeze.  This multi-age group was a 'quick study.' But they also know if they have questions, they can always call Support at J.D. Associates 7 days a week. Their trainer, Dave, is Microsoft Certified to train them on POS 2009.
