Fruit Growers Supply (FGS) based in Sherman Oaks, Calif. (http://www.fruitgrowers.com), is one of the oldest companies in the state to handle the unique needs of the agricultural community. The company operates multiple retail and warehouse locations in California and Arizona.

“Our aged POS system had forced us into so many workarounds, resulting in a number of inefficiencies that had a negative impact to the top and bottom line,” said Alex Perlovich, IT Director at FGS. “We were looking for a POS solution that could handle multiple types of payments (cash, credit, credit cards, EMV), as well as down payments with balance due at delivery, along with refund and return capability.
