Homer Reed Ltd specializes in men’s business & casual clothing offering everything from wardrobe consultation to fittings and alterations.  The business was founded by Homer Reed in 1951 in downtown Denver, CO.  Over the years two more stores were added and are still open today.  In 2002 Homer began his retirement and Mark Reed took over the business. In 2002 the business implemented the CounterPoint software system for its stores. Priscilla Trujillo, CFO, states that having CounterPoint makes it easy to maintain a reliable database as well as allowing them to buy more efficiently because of the inventory tracking capability.   One of the main benefits of the CounterPoint software is the ease of sales transactions and the reporting capabilities. Priscilla adds, “CounterPoint is easy to learn and most importantly, works well with our accounting software”. When asked if she would recommend the CounterPoint software to other retailers Priscilla said, “I would certainly recommend CounterPoint for retail because of the capability and simplicity it has to offer.” She goes on to say, “Mariner Business Solutions has provided our company with the best technical and software support over the years that has insured an almost failure free network environment.  Their response time and experience has been crucial in our business and we strongly recommend their services and expertise.” If you are in the Denver area be sure to stop into one of the Homer Reed Ltd locations.  You can also visit Homer Reed Ltd 24 hours a day at http://homerreedltd.com/

Less than 2 years ago Pringle’s Fine Wine & Spirits, located in Ft. Collins, CO, switched from their out-dated DOS point-of-sale system to the CounterPoint software system.  That change, according to General Manager Bob Freeman, has led to better tracking of inventory and sales as well as the ability to move more customers through the checkout more quickly and efficiently. Bob also says that having CounterPoint has allowed the business to move into the 21st century with the newest software and technology. Bob is quoted as saying “after researching several alternatives and now living with the software for 19 months, CounterPoint appears to be the best and most versatile software on the market for the money and for our needs. Mariner worked hard to transfer data from our old DOS system and get us operational quickly.  We would recommend Mariner because they enabled us to have a relatively smooth transition to the new system”.  The addition of the Radiant hardware with the touch screen point-of-sale is one of Bob’s favorite features and adds to the ease of training of new employees.
