Working with the right software and credit card partners is key in our business - key to the solutions we offer, the support we receive from our vendors - and the trust of our customers when they partner with us.

We recently returned from the industry conference at RetailNOW in Orlando, and we were excited to learn that many of our vendor partners took away top industry awards.  An RSPA Vendor Award of Excellence is an honor given to a vendor by their resellers and is highly coveted in the retail technology industry.

Congratulations to Thomas Greenman, Vice President of Skurla's POS Solutions, for being elected to the Board of Directors for the Retail Solutions Providers Association. RSPA is the only Association 
dedicated to the retail and hospitality technology industry, since 1948.

Touching the waters of Bristol Bay is the Native Village of Kwigillingok. Kwik Store Inc., in Kwigillingok is the sole grocer provider to all residents. Skurla's recently did a new install that was ten years in the making for Kwik Store. Our Service Manager, Jesse, flew to Kwigillingok to provide Auto-Star point of sale to Kwik Store. Fulfilling our promise to install and provide proper training for businesses to fully utilize their new system. 

Our office will be closed on Monday, September 5th, to observe Labor Day. 

Ok, we know that this is early, but by the time the next newsletter comes out, the day will have come and gone - and the geese will have flown south.  Please don't kill the messenger.

As always, we understand the importance of customer service and issues that may arise during the holiday.

I just returned from the RSPA (Retail Solutions Providers Association) annual conference – RetailNOW in Orlando.

Skurla's POS Solution's founder, Phyllis Skurla turns 90 July 5th! 

Our office will be closed on Monday, July 4th, in honor of Independence Day.    

Planes, trains, and automobiles.  That is how Skurla's POS Solutions has been rolling this busy summer season!  Living and working in Alaska comes with challenges and beautiful opportunities.

Being a local Alaskan point of sale reseller means going to customer sites any way you can get there - planes, trains, automobiles, boats, and ATVs (and we are NOT kidding).  Whether it's driving to Denali, Kenai or Seward; flying a plane to Nunivak Island or Fairbanks; or taking the train to Denali and Talkeetna, Skurla's team goes where needed.  

Will Apple’s NFC Payment Tech Accelerate Contactless Payment Adoption?

Our team at Skurla's wants to congratulate our friends at Mekong Market for the opening of their second location in Anchorage! This phenomenal market is located at the Bering Village in midtown Anchorage. This market will meet all your needs for Asian and Pacific Island specialty grocery items, but you cannot complete any grocery trip without grabbing a bite to eat from their hot bar. A personal go to for us.

Mekong Market needed a POS that could be multi-functional to handle retail, grocery, and hot bar purchases. Skurla's Grocery system powered by Auto-Star was the perfect fit. We were able to integrate credit card processing and EBT transactions to be an all in one transaction.  Our favorite POS systems are always modern, easily accessible, and cost effective for our customers, which is why we love Auto-Star. Mekong Market signed up for our PAS (Point of Sale as a Service) program. With one monthly fee they have an all- inclusive point of sale that comes with hardware, software, and in person support from our team at Skurla's. Utilizing PAS you will never have to stress over your point of sale, we are with you every step of the way. The Skurla's guarantee. Head over to Mekong Market to see our POS in action and try their delicious food!
