In a move aimed at simplifying retail technology, Simple has launched a nationwide retail POS system that integrates e-commerce, loyalty, scheduling, and inventory into a single platform. The Troy, Michigan-based company positions its offering as a response to the growing frustration among independent retailers who currently juggle multiple subscriptions and face hidden processing fees.
Traditional retail setups often require separate tools for point of sale, online stores, loyalty programs, and employee management. Each component typically comes with its own monthly fee, and payment processors frequently add per-transaction charges on top of advertised rates. Simple's approach eliminates this complexity by bundling 22 or more modules into every plan, with payment processing at a flat 2.19% and no per-transaction fees.
The new retail POS includes real-time inventory tracking across multiple locations, unlimited registers, and an offline mode to ensure sales continue during internet outages. A built-in e-commerce storefront shares a single catalog with the register, streamlining operations for businesses that sell both in-store and online. Additionally, the platform offers loyalty programs, marketing automation, employee scheduling, and a time clock with payroll export. Retailers can be up and running within days, and no long-term contracts are required.
"Retailers are tired of watching their margins disappear into software add-ons and processing fees," said Justin Dabish, CEO of Simple. "We built one point of sale for retail that does everything a modern store needs, priced it flat, and put every feature in every plan. What you see is what you pay."
Pricing starts at $99 per month per location, with all modules included. The 2.19% flat processing rate applies to all card types, with no monthly card fees, gateway fees, or surcharges. A free card reader is included with every plan.
The launch addresses a critical pain point for small and mid-size retailers: the financial burden of fragmented software. According to industry analysts, businesses often spend hundreds of dollars monthly on separate systems, which can erode already thin profit margins. By consolidating these functions into one platform with a predictable cost, Simple aims to level the playing field for independent retailers competing with larger chains.
