POS System Companies & Dealers in Snowmass, CO

Think Development is a Colorado technology firm that supports companies throughout the Roaring Fork Valley. Founded in Aspen and now headquartered in Snowmass, it has been in business since 2001. Its work spans general IT services, though point-of-sale technology is its main emphasis. Shops, restaurants and similar businesses that serve customers at a counter can turn to it as a nearby option instead of relying on vendors who only work remotely.

Within point of sale, the firm covers equipment and programs alike. Its technicians set up and maintain cash registers, receipt printers and the accessories that go with them. The company states that it has deep experience with the models named on its posted equipment list and working knowledge of many more. A business that still writes receipts by hand, uses a simple till or depends on an outdated legacy program can upgrade to a unified system with inventory control and customer relationship management built in. Supplies like receipt paper rolls and price tags are stocked and can be delivered, and hardware is available on lease or rental terms.

One standout strength is the handling of data that surrounds the register. The firm has developed routines that generate files ready for loading into QuickBooks, working from a range of commercially available POS products as well as custom-built systems. Staff therefore avoid re-entering sales totals by hand into the books. The company also produces custom reports through Crystal Reports. Such reports can yield a mailing list or a file for upload to an email marketing platform. Once a layout is created, it can be run again and again, and the client does not need to purchase the reporting tool. Additional capabilities include loading supplier purchase order files and moving records from an older database into new software.

For payments, Think Development acts as an authorized reseller for Total Merchant Services. Available choices include countertop and wireless terminals, protected online payment gateways, mobile card readers and direct links to POS programs. A customer can therefore set up card processing and register equipment through a single local company.

Responsive support sits at the heart of the firm's approach. It reports that, in an urgent situation, it can be on site in central Aspen in roughly fifteen minutes and can establish a remote connection in about a minute, an important advantage when a register fails during busy hours. Outside of POS work, it plans and installs computer networks and offers IT help for homes and businesses. Buyers weighing local providers may value its long regional track record, custom data integration and payment services, especially small and midsize operations in resort communities where fast service matters.
