POS System Companies & Dealers in Ellsworth, ME

POS Of New England Inc. is a point-of-sale dealer and merchant services provider in Ellsworth, Maine. The company calls itself a one-stop source for Maine businesses: one vendor covers payment processing, POS hardware and software, and several related business tools. Its customers are mostly local merchants and restaurants, though the company says it also works with clients outside New England.

Products and Systems

The company's main POS platform is Future POS, which is often used in restaurant and hospitality settings. It also sells add-ons for food-service operations, including kitchen display screens for quick-service restaurants and LRS guest and staff paging equipment. The rest of its range includes HALO automated teller machines, credit card terminals, prepaid cellular products and digital signage.

Through an online catalog, customers can order supplies, hardware and software packages at any hour. More recently, the company added an online ordering product for merchants who want to take orders over the web.

Services

Besides equipment sales, POS Of New England offers services that support a merchant's operations over time:

• Merchant services and card processing, set up around each business's needs
• Gift card and customer loyalty programs
• Data back-up plans for POS systems
• Demonstrations of systems before purchase
• Digital signage
• Bundled hardware and software packages
• Financing options for equipment purchases
• Online ordering

How They Work With Clients

The company says it designs a processing program for each merchant instead of offering one standard plan. Its stated goal is to lower a business's yearly card-acceptance costs. Prospective clients can request a quote and an in-person demonstration before they commit. The company has also advertised free terminals for processing customers.

Its office is open on weekdays during regular business hours, and Saturday visits can be booked by appointment. The firm has had a booth at a Maine trade expo, which shows it takes part in the local business community.

Background

According to its Better Business Bureau listing, the business was founded in 2012 and has a small staff of about two people. It describes its approach as small-town service, so buyers can expect to deal directly with the people who sell and support their systems. The website has client testimonials and a client list for buyers who want to check its track record.

For buyers comparing POS dealers in Maine, the firm's main strength is breadth: a merchant can get payment processing, a restaurant-ready POS platform, kitchen and paging equipment, ATMs, loyalty programs and data backup all from the same vendor. Its small size and local focus may appeal to independent restaurants and retailers that want one point of contact instead of a large national provider.
