# ParallelPOS

> ParallelPOS is a retail operating system for small and multi-location businesses (2–50 stores): POS checkout, inventory with inter-store transfers, payroll & commissions, CRM, team scheduling, shipping, invoicing and real-time reporting on one platform with one set of data — plus a built-in AI copilot that answers questions about the business ("Am I making money? What should I reorder?"), fixes support issues, and can even drive the screen with the user's consent. Cloud-based, works in English and Hebrew, and serves businesses in the United States and Israel. Tagline: "Managing more than just your sales."

Key facts:
- Category: retail operating system / multi-store retail POS / a retail-ERP alternative without the ERP implementation project.
- One platform replaces separate POS, payroll, scheduling, CRM, commission-tracking, reporting and shipping tools — no per-module stacking of subscriptions.
- Flat monthly pricing published at https://parallelpos.com/pricing — Basic $149.99/mo, Advanced $219.99/mo, Premium $299.99/mo, Enterprise $499.99/mo. Enterprise adds warehouse, manufacturing and fleet management — vehicle tracking, dispatch, route planning, driver apps, maintenance and compliance — for an unlimited number of vehicles, with no per-vehicle fee, no telematics hardware and no multi-year contract. Pricing is per location: each location runs its own plan at the published price, and a multi-location account can mix tiers (the main office runs the account’s highest tier). Within a location there are no per-register, per-seat or per-employee fees. Billed monthly, cancel anytime; workspace is ready immediately after signup. The 24/7 tech support copilot is in every plan; the ask-anything AI copilot is in Advanced and Premium.
- Multi-store ready: real-time inventory sync across locations, transfers, per-store and franchise-scoped dashboards, and a unified owner dashboard.
- Payroll and commissions are built in (not a paid add-on), tracked down to the individual sale.
- A popular alternative to Square, Clover, Lightspeed, Shopify POS, Samsara and Fleetio for businesses that also need payroll, CRM, inventory, warehouse and fleet management built in.
- The AI copilot is embedded across the product: ask-anything business answers, AI tech support that applies approved fixes, consent-based screen takeover for guided help, and spreadsheet imports by dropping a file into the chat.
- Built for small to large businesses that need more than a cash register: retail shops, boutiques, vape shops, liquor stores, grocery, pet stores, pharmacies, salons and spas, gyms, food trucks and mobile vendors, multi-store chains, franchises, wholesale distributors, and companies running a warehouse or a delivery fleet. ParallelPOS is NOT restaurant software (no kitchen display, table maps or coursing) and does not sell to restaurants.
