Marty vs. Revel Systems: POS Reporting and Managed Profit Control
Searching for a Revel Systems alternative can mean you need a different POS, or that the operating information you already have is not producing completed actions. Separate those requirements before choosing a tool or service.
Start with the Revel records you have
Begin with the reports and exports available in your Revel account. Ask your administrator or account team to demonstrate sales totals, payment records, location-level detail and the historical periods you need. Confirm whether additional reporting or data-access services are required.
Check refresh timing, permissions and export detail in the account you actually use. Record what your team can already obtain and which questions remain unanswered before deciding to add another service.
Trace one problem across the records
Suppose Location A's cash sales do not match the deposit log. The next step is not a blanket accusation or an automatic loss total. Trace the business date, cash refunds, paid-outs, drawer movements and deposit reference. Keep missing records visible until the difference is resolved.
For labor, compare scheduled hours, actual hours, rates and the sales period. A POS sales report and a payroll register answer different questions; both may be correct while the comparison is not.
These are suggested investigation steps, not claims about a specific Revel installation or a promised Marty integration.
What should remain in place?
Keep working transaction, close and accounting processes while deciding whether they need changes. Avoid choosing a new POS to solve an unexplained variance before understanding its cause.
| Need | Practical next step |
|---|---|
| A report already available in Revel | Verify permissions, filters and delivery |
| Different POS functionality | Evaluate POS alternatives against operational requirements |
| An unresolved cash or profit question across locations | Scope a Marty Review using the relevant records |
| Ongoing follow-through after diagnosis | Evaluate optional Managed Profit Control: agreed monitoring, alerts, follow-up, escalation and verification |
Questions for the Review
Bring an example of the issue, the affected locations and the systems involved. Confirm which records are available, how access will work and what gaps could limit the findings. Confirm the supported access method and available detail during scoping.
The outcome to look for is a diagnosis your leadership team can act on: where the issue is, what supports it, who owns it and what should happen next.
Revel-specific reporting and access
Revel’s current developer documentation describes sales and payment summaries, hourly sales and product mix reports. Its Data Connector is a separately enabled data-warehouse route for analysis with a compatible BI tool; it is not a ready-made Marty integration. The provider directs buyers to their account manager for current pricing. Revel reporting, Data Connector FAQ.
| Responsibility | Revel and your team | Marty’s proposed scope |
|---|---|---|
| Obtain sales and payment detail | Authorized report access; confirm account coverage and periods | Agree on usable evidence before the Review |
| Build custom warehouse analysis | Enable Data Connector and maintain the BI analysis if needed | Do not assume this purchase is required or a Marty connector exists |
| Resolve an unmatched payment | Finance supplies the payment reference and bank evidence | Assign the investigation, follow up and verify the agreed result |
Keep Revel when POS operations work and the missing step is report setup. Evaluate another POS for a POS-function gap. Consider managed work when records exist but cross-location questions remain unowned. Current documentation establishes these options, not availability in every account; confirm entitlement and commercial terms with Revel.
The source-backed review findings illustrate why transaction context and missing records matter. For the next operating decision, use the location-level profit review approach to connect the issue to an owner and a later check.
Give unresolved Revel findings an owner
Marty is a managed profit-control layer: Find → Assign → Follow up → Verify. The paid Cash Recovery Plan establishes what to watch first, with evidence, owners, actions and a 30-day plan. Delivery is seven business days after required access is complete; read-only access and the flat fee are confirmed first.
Optional Managed Profit Control continues the agreed checks, manager alerts, follow-up, escalation and verification. Start the Cash Recovery Plan.
