The QuickBooks POS alternative with the books built in
Momentum runs point of sale, inventory and accounting in one system, so a sale moves stock and posts to your books in the same step.
Intuit discontinued QuickBooks Desktop Point of Sale, and support for it has ended. If you ran your stores on it, you are choosing a new POS, and deciding whether to keep a separate accounting package beside it. Momentum's answer is to keep them together: one system for selling, stock and the books.
What changes when you move from QuickBooks POS.
One system instead of two
Pairing a POS with separate accounting software means a connection to set up, map and watch. In Momentum, a sale at the till moves stock and creates the journal entry in the same step, so there is nothing to sync between them.
Tills that keep selling offline
Each till keeps a local copy of what it needs to sell. Sales are saved on the device and sync in the background when the connection returns, and each sale is recorded once even if it's sent twice.
Built for more than one store
Transfers between locations are requested, approved, dispatched and received, and units that go missing must be returned or written off. Reports compare every location side by side.
Priced per location
Every Momentum plan includes unlimited users, so adding a cashier or giving your accountant access doesn't change the bill.

When QuickBooks POS is the better fit
If you already love QuickBooks Online for your books and only need a till, a POS that integrates with it may be the simpler move. Momentum suits businesses that want selling, stock and accounting in one place.
