2TouchPOS is software developed by a company called Xenios. Originally created as a business management tool to replace the cash registers that establishment owners were using. The cash register did not produce the information needed to make informed business decisions. In addition, the point of sale systems available in the late 1990's were too expensive and cumbersome to learn and use. The idea for the software began when Todd Puckett, a BEVINCO rep, and Steve Zigmund, recognized the need for software that could capture transaction data and then translate the data to report configurations. This idea was acted upon when it was presented to a local business entrepreneur and owner David Rose in 1999. At the same time, another entrepreneur (Eric Elwell) was developing a way to influence the world of business. Elwell created Small Business Systems to provide the immediate community with options for improving the computers and software they used to manage their business. Elwell was interested in Microsoft and achieved Microsoft Certifications so that he could promote Microsoft products. He decided that there was a future in the Point of Sale Business so he formed a partnership when he found 2Touch, Steve Zigmund and David Rose. Over the years, the development team stayed focused with the primary goal of creating a “Point of Sale Package”. In October 2009, these two companies (Small Business Systems and 2Touch) merged and formed Xenios. The name is derived from Xenia found in Greek history where hospitality was of the highest importance. The Rochester Business Journal provided Xenios with an award in 2016 for being the Largest Computer Company in Rochester NY. 2TouchPOS is also on the list of Software Developers posted by the Rochester Business Journal, and Xenios was in the Rochester NY Top 100 Companies for several years in a row. 2TouchPOS has been featured on the program Bar Rescue. 2TouchPOS software provides web interface with additional opportunities to download raw data for the purpose of integration with third party software.
