# Groove Guru vs a generic retail POS

A general retail package handles a till and a stock count perfectly well. It has no idea what a matrix number is, cannot tell a first pressing from a 2015 repress, and treats every record as an anonymous SKU.

Choose a vinyl-native POS if identification, condition grading and consignment are part of daily work.
