Best Clover Apps for 2020 – Take Your Clover POS to the Next Level with these Plugins
Clover is a popular POS system that provides both software and hardware solutions to merchants in industries like retail, service, and dining. In addition to their leading POS application and sleek hardware options like the Clover Mini and Clover Flex, the company also has an app store offering a huge variety of native and third-party applications. The following are four of the most popular and most useful of those apps available to merchants in 2020, but there are hundreds of options available for download, covering everything from inventory management, to fundraising, to games for customers.
QuickBooks by Commerce Sync
QuickBooks, one of the world’s most popular bookkeeping tools, is used by a large percentage of restaurants and retailers. Traditionally, QuickBooks has been a standalone desktop application and taking care of the books required an enormous amount of manual data entry. The QuickBooks Clover app by Commerce Sync helps to eliminate a lot of that manual work by integrating QuickBooks directly with a merchant’s Clover POS. That integration saves businesses 300 hours per year on average, and large restaurants and retailers can expect to save even more.

Time Clock by Homebase
Time Clock is an app designed to simplify time tracking and make payroll management easier. Its effectiveness has earned it a spot in Clover’s “must-have” apps, along with a large and loyal userbase. As the app’s name might suggest, Time Clock offers an efficient employee time tracking system, but its functionality goes well beyond punching in and out. It also offers complete employee scheduling, including important scheduling information on everything from labor costs to weather forecasts! Time Clock also includes team collaboration and job posting functions, making it a highly versatile addition to any Clover POS setup.
