What our clients say about our Department Store solution
“We are much more advanced with Swan’s Retail System and their Shopify integration, and we are going further than we ever could with our previous provider. Upgrading our old system would have been extremely expensive, whereas moving to Swan gave us everything we wanted in an easier-to-use way and at a fraction of the cost. It’s also more straightforward and much cheaper to scale up compared to other system providers.
“We’ve had some great feedback from our staff. Cygnus EPoS is fantastic; its user-friendly, does what it says on the tin and just works.”
