Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/n53fd5/pos_software_for) has announced the addition of the "POS Software for Specialty Soft Goods Market Share" report to their offering.

The North American Specialty Softgoods retail vertical enjoys one of the most diverse and dynamic technical environments in all of retail. These retailers must not only serve their customers well, but must do so while appearing to be on the cutting edge technically. This 42 page market study delves deep into the POS Software market for these retailers. We identify which software providers are leading the pack, what their market share is, and which complementary systems their software has been installed with in the industry.

This study provides a quick independent snapshot of the industry so that Apparel, Shoes, and Department Store retailers can quickly get to a short list of tested and proven POS solutions.

It includes not only vendor reviews but also the following:

Market Share and Profiles of Top 5 Software Providers. The report goes into detail on the market share of the top 5 providers by installed base in the top 200 POS Softgoods accounts in North America. For each company we provide a solution overview, strengths, key partnerships and architecture as well as the items outlined below.
