About Springboard Retail is a cloud POS and retail management platform designed for retailers, by retailers. It’s built for multi-store, multi channel retailers who need to service every customer the same way, no matter how or where they shop.

Springboard Retail is giving retailers better control over sales and profitability by placing actionable real-time data in the hands of every person who needs it, from the C-suite to the store floor. Retailers nationwide have used Springboard’s Mobile POS to reclaim valuable square footage and influence buying behavior at the point of decision, where it matters most. With inventory management, unparalleled custom reporting, APIs, portability across platforms and devices, Springboard Retail is easy-to-use, quick-to-start and revered by its users for making their jobs easier.

History Gordon Russell’s Boston-based chain of specialty retail stores had a problem. He needed a POS system that would be flexible and fast enough for his current business, while also driving future success. Gordon tried plenty of available retail systems, but none of them provided the intuitive yet flexible structure retail teams need to succeed.

Gordon and co-founder Jay Stotz began working together. From e-commerce platforms, to web-based applications—all hosted on the cloud—they developed a POS and retail management platform to support a growing multi-channel, multi-site retail enterprise. The results of the cloud POS platform were so successful, the team had to share it with other retailers and Springboard Retail was born. Since official launch in early 2014, Springboard Retail has helped its customers grow across their locations and channels—processing over $100M of retail sales at hundreds of sites across the United States.
