We are more than just point of sale!

• We are the industry experts, we are local - just one phone call for all your point of sale and payment needs.
• We shop and eat locally; we live and love the Alaska life, our state and the people.
• Alaska is where we choose to call home – and have for over 40 years.

Skurla’s – “Revolutionizing our partnership with Alaskans to help their businesses thrive – by delivering exceptional value, excellent customer service, and a single source for point of sale, payment processing and IT solutions.”

We partnered with EdgeServ POS, because of the opportunity to control our destiny. The industry is rampant with consolidations and mergers.  Every time one of our product lines is bought, sold, merged or whatever, we (and our customers) are turned upside down – new rules and new players, often making it difficult for how we sell or support the products – this is not the business model we want to offer to our customers.

EdgeServ POS

A revolutionary concept - a restaurant point of sale system owned, managed and developed by POS Resellers like Skurla's POS Solutions.

What is WIC - WIC is a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, funded by the federal government.

What is eWIC (from the State of Alaska):

"Our WIC program is moving from checks to an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card we're calling "eWIC." The new eWIC card looks like a debit card and has all of your family’s WIC benefits in one place."

• It's Fast
• Saves time at checkout!
• It's Flexible
• Buy as little or as much of your WIC food at a time!
• It's Simple
• No more paper checks!

Now with eWIC integrated right into the store's POS, it will be easier and more discreet for families to shop. No more separating WIC items at checkout and paying with a paper check.

Watch the video below to see how fast and easy it is to process WIC transactions with integrated eWIC.

Every industry has acronyms and everyday conversation is full of them - ASAP, TGIF, RSVP, VIP, etc....

All of us at Skurla's would like to wish you a very Happy New Year!

And speaking of new, we have lots of "new" going on around here!

I recently returned from a conference and attended a session by Clearent to learn more about this hot topic in the payment world.  The number one take away from this conference - you need to follow the rules very carefully - and work with a partner that knows what they are doing!
