Which Web Browser Should I Use to Access My EZFacility Software?

« Blog | Written by Miranda Pruitt | | (0) Comments |

Most likely, your preference for a particular web browser is based on your experience with specific devices or brands. Mac and iPhone users are familiar with Safari. PC users know Microsoft Edge. Android users are accustomed to Google Chrome.

When it comes to your software, however, certain browsers can offer distinct advantages. “At EZFacility, we recommend Chrome to our clients,” says Greg Barra, Manager of Support & Training. “Not only is it a popular browser, it’s also easy to use and offers some of the best add-ons and customization, which makes it a good option for our users.”

Why is Chrome our favorite web browser?

While each browser offers advantages, Chrome stands apart from its competitors as the most popular choice for e-commerce users. “Since Chrome is the market leader, it made sense for us to optimize our system to perform on the platform,” commented EZFacility’s Director of R&D, Mike Vidal.

Chrome offers best-in-class security, an intuitive interface, and an extensive library of third-party extensions to enhance the user’s experience. It offers excellent malware protection on almost any device, giving you peace of mind as you use your club’s management software. You can also customize your Chrome homepage, which puts your EZFacility software and other vital business tools at your fingertips at all times.

To use Chrome to access your EZFacility software, simply Download Chrome and follow the instructions below to make it your default browser.

How to set Google Chrome as your default browser on Mac:

  1. If you haven’t already, Download Chrome.
  2. Launch Chrome.
  3. Click the three vertical dots in the top-right corner of your screen.

EZFacility Releases Cutting-Edge Fitness Point of Sale Solution

« Press Releases | Written by Miranda Pruitt | | (0) Comments |


Woodbury, NY | March 13, 2020 – This month, EZFacility released a point of sale (POS) upgrade for its industry-leading web-based management software for the health, fitness, and sports industries. The new POS system employs the latest technology to deliver a fast, intuitive, mobile-responsive tool for managing sales, suppliers, and inventory.

“When we first thought about redesigning our POS system, we knew we wanted to combine our knowledge of next-generation SaaS and payment trends with direct feedback from over 1,700 of our users,” said Mike Vidal, Director of R&D at EZFacility. “We focused on implementing the latest cloud-based technology while improving the user experience—reducing clicks, increasing speed, and enhancing valuable features.”

The platform transforms the process of selling products for fitness, sports, and recreation businesses. From any device, users can lead their customers through an accelerated sales experience, complete with automated receipts and reporting. At these facilities, speed is critical to keep customer traffic flowing and operations running smoothly. As a result of the new streamlined process, businesses experience increased productivity and customer satisfaction.  

As the popularity of mobile point of sale terminals continues to rise, the new POS platform is poised to meet the needs of a wide variety of businesses, such as small fitness facilities to growing health and wellness organisations, and established franchises. The mobile-responsive design provides a true anytime-anywhere sales solution for these rapidly evolving industries.

Several features of the new POS system can be customised to meet individual business needs. “We understand that every client has unique needs, which is why our point of sale was built with flexibility in mind,” Vidal explained. In addition to integrating with their chosen printer hardware, businesses can personalise register layouts, sales reports, and promotional offers.

Additionally, the POS module supplies vital business management tools to the growing health and fitness market. Business leaders can use the platform to track revenue sources, manage supplier contracts, and automate inventory alerts for popular retail items. Point of sale integrates with EZFacility’s all-in-one management software, linking sales figures to key marketing, operations, and financial metrics.

“The POS release kicks off a series of user interface enhancements that strengthen our offering to existing customers and pave the way for features that appeal to a broader audience,” said Bryant Strozinsky, Director of Operations at EZFacility. “We’re encouraged by the positive response we received following the upgrade, and we look forward to working closely with customers and industry experts as we develop future innovations together.”

After delivering the seamless point of sale solution, EZFacility plans to complement the changes with additional inventory management functionality and a sequence of upgrades targeted at enhancing the software’s overall user experience.
