You will need certification and experience with UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS.
You will also need the distributions- major ones- for each.
SErvice repair and management software for Windows and Mac OS will be necessary. For the UNIX and Linux systems, you will need to know the commands.
A friend and I are starting a small computer tech/repair shop that will have a small inventory and sell custom built pcs on the side.
We're both new to the accounting/point of sale software and are sofar ignorant of other business software we may need..
We will be picking up Quickbooks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I can basically make a POS machine with just a computer, accounting software, a printer, CC scanner and a cashbox yes?
Are there any other types of software we might need?
Is computer service & repair management software necessary?
This will start out as a very small company with a total of two employees. One covering tech duties and the other everything else.
Any input is appreciated.
