•Q&A: Mac-Based POS - Your Next Revenue Generator?
Q&A With Business Solutions magazine and Dax Dasilva, CEO, Xsilva
When faced with stiff competition, successful dealers take on new products and/or develop new services to create a differentiator. If you've been running up against other dealers selling retailers the same or similar products as you, maybe it's time to alter your strategy a bit. Ever consider Mac-based POS? The idea was foreign to me, until I talked to Dax Dasilva, CEO of retail-focused ISV (independent software vendor) Xsilva. Once he gave me some insight, it was obvious that there is a real opportunity for dealers in the world of Mac. I asked Dasilva some questions many POS dealers would be curious to have answered.
Business Solutions (BSM): Why Mac and Why Now?
Dax Dasilva, CEO Xsilva: Retailers who are new to the market, often young entrepreneurs right out of college, have grown up with iMac, iPod, and iTunes and are looking to achieve a Mac-like 'business lifestyle' for their new retail boutiques. The complete Mac-based POS is price-competitive for this customer and it is the perfect opportunity for PC-based dealers to appeal to the next generation of retailers by offering them POS solutions built around the Apple products that they want to use in their businesses.
