Frequently asked questions
What is the point of sale switching cost calculator?
It is a free tool for estimating the annual labor exposure from manual work in your current setup. It uses only the weekly hours, locations, and wage you enter. It does not estimate vendor-specific savings or switching charges; use the result alongside itemized written quotes.
Does switching point of sale systems cost anything up front?
It can. Possible costs include data work, setup, hardware, payments, integrations, training time, support, and overlap between contracts. This calculator estimates only the labor exposure from the hours and wage you enter. Ask each vendor for a written, itemized switching quote.
Will I lose my data when I switch to Bravo?
Do not assume every record can be moved from every source system. Inventory the customers, inventory, transactions, loans, attachments, and compliance records you need; then ask Bravo to confirm what can be converted, the required source format, who validates it, and how unresolved records are handled.
How long does it take to switch to Bravo?
There is no responsible universal timeline. Timing depends on the source system, data condition and volume, locations, hardware, integrations, approvals, and staff availability. Request a written plan with milestones, owners, validation, training, escalation, and launch criteria.
Is the switching cost calculator free to use?
Yes. The calculator is free and there is no obligation. You get an instant estimate on screen, and you can request a personalized demo if you want Bravo to walk through the numbers for your specific store.
How accurate is the switching cost estimate?
The labor figure is simple arithmetic based on your inputs: weekly hours per location multiplied by locations, 52 weeks, and the hourly wage. It is accurate only to the extent those inputs represent your operation. It does not include or predict vendor savings, hardware, payments, conversion, setup, training, support, options, or contract terms.
Can I import my old A&D book?
Ask Bravo to review your current record format and confirm in writing which A&D fields and history can be converted, how exceptions are resolved, who validates the result, and what records you must retain or access separately. Do not treat a general page as approval for your specific data.
Can I migrate from paper records to electronic records?
Moving from paper to electronic records requires a record-specific review. Ask which historical records can be imported, which remain separately retained, who enters or scans them, how accuracy is validated, and which requirements continue to apply. Confirm the plan for your records before selecting a launch date.
Can I migrate from FastBound, Orchid, AIM, Celerant, or another system?
Conversion scope depends on the source system, export access, fields, formats, attachments, data quality, and record requirements. Name your current system in the switching call and ask Bravo to confirm the exact convertible record types, exceptions, responsibilities, validation, and price in writing.
What happens to my old 4473s when I switch?
Ask your compliance advisor and vendor to document how existing paper and electronic records will remain accessible, what is converted, what is retained separately, and how new records begin after cutover. A software migration does not by itself replace your record-retention responsibilities.
How quickly can my staff be trained, and what support is included?
Ask your written quote to identify the training format, audience, schedule, materials, launch coverage, ongoing support channels, hours, response expectations, and any separate fees. Your team should also assign owners for configuration, practice, testing, and approval before launch.
