BEST POS is point-of-sale (Point de Vente/POS) software from a Canadian vendor, aimed at brick-and-mortar retail and foodservice merchants. The official site emphasizes that it was developed by people with a background in the cash register industry, has been around for about 25 years, and is used by more than 6,000 Canadian merchants. Sales, installation, and support are handled mainly through trained resellers.
Based on the information on the site, BEST covers business types such as grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants, clothing stores, fast-food outlets, bars, boutiques, hair salons, pet stores, and more. Common modules include checkout, inventory, labels, promotions, bulk price changes, customer profiles and history, gift cards, and related tools. For restaurants, it supports a customizable touch interface, table floor plans, employee clock-in, bill splitting/separate checks, takeout numbers, and delivery. For apparel stores, it supports size and color inventory. For hair salons, it supports different pricing by stylist, customer history, and an appointment calendar with no monthly fee.
BEST Mobile can run on iPhone or Android phones and connects to the BEST software in real time over in-store WiFi for portable management, but it requires BEST version 15 or above and costs extra. BEST E-commerce is the vendor’s own e-commerce solution, compatible with the BEST desktop version and mobile app. It supports real-time management of products, inventory, prices, images, short and long descriptions; online transactions are included in daily sales reports. It also supports order confirmation emails, recurring promotions, four-level pricing, Mix'n Match, search filters, customer profiles, and clearance items.
The official website does not disclose standard plans, license fees, or subscription pricing. Trials are not offered through self-service registration; instead, users are advised to request a demo from a reseller. For support, the vendor states that it does not provide technical support directly to end customers, but redirects them to local resellers. Without an annual support contract, phone and remote support are billed by the hour.
Its strengths are deep local retail experience, a broad set of industry templates, features closely aligned with small physical merchants, and reseller-assisted installation. Its drawbacks are limited pricing transparency and a lack of information on cloud deployment, security and compliance, APIs, third-party integrations, and permission management. It does not look like a highly transparent product designed for global SaaS procurement. It is better suited to Canadian retail and restaurant merchants that need on-site installation, industry-specific POS functionality, and reseller-based service.
The main content does not provide information about access from mainland China, Chinese-language support, or cross-border deployment. Its accessibility status is therefore unknown.
