Become Microsoft® RMS Certified
ScanSource is pleased to offer the Microsoft® Retail Management System to certified partners. Microsoft Retail Management is the future-focused, forward-thinking, point-of-sale system that effortlessly links the front and back office systems. And because it's a Microsoft solution, your customers can trust it will easily integrate with Microsoft Office applications.

Become certified and offer your customers:
  • Increased efficiency - the robust functionality is easy to learn in a familiar Windows® environment.
  • Better money management - reduce overhead with tighter inventory controls and lower credit card processing time.
