It can operate even when internet connectivity is lost. Last fall, the integration with desktop came on-board. The product initially offered seamless integration with QuickBooks Online, but Will was among the many ProAdvisors who support QuickBooks Point-of-sale (desktop) and let Intuit know that if Revel was going to have to appeal to larger markets, they Intuit needed to offer integration with QuickBooks desktop products, like QuickBooks Enterprise. The resultant product, QuickBooks Point-of-Sale powered by Revel Systems, was launched in March of 2015. Intuit and Revel partnered together in November of 2014 to offer an Intuit branded version of the Revel product, which also would support Intuit Merchant Services. Unlike other mobile device based products, Revel also chose to run their application on a different WiFi spectrum than the standard frequencies used by most products, this provides greater security and freedom from potentially intervening traffic. They did this because the database is actually downloaded to each iPad and regularly syncs to the cloud based server. They set about developing a unique solution that is a mix of ‘cloud’ and local data’. In so doing they chose to make use of the Apple iPad as the appropriate hardware for their solution. They recognized the deficiencies in the operation centered around the inefficiencies of their point-of-sale system, so they set out to develop a convenient on-the-go Point of Sale that would streamline order taking and processing. The makers of Revel founded the company in 2010 for the purpose of meeting the needs of a local restaurant. ![]() So What About QuickBooks Point of Sales powered by Revel? ![]() Will is the author of numerous articles and texts on Point-of-sale and Retail business operations, including a ‘just released’ handbook: ‘The essential guide to taking physical inventory’ which describes best practices for using QuickBooks Point of Sale and Portable Data Collection Terminals when conducting a physical inventory.
