What's better than RMS?

I have been using RMS for 3 years now for my clothing store. Now that my store is expanding 3 times, I am evaluating to see if I should add on to the existing RMS or get a better POS system. RMS has not improved on features for so long that I am starting to look at others. I like RMS for

SQL-based so that I can do my own custom qwery/reporting in Excel.
Easy to use for everyone.
It's backed by Microsoft and is fairly inexpensive. But I have been waiting for features such as
Store credit management (using the voucher feature sucks)
Entering total count of items at the end each transaction (so that cashiers do not miss scanning an item)
Better, faster way to add new items to the inventory
Purchase Order/Shipment - based analysis. A way to add new items from puchase order screen.
Giftcard module without a third vendor
A way to scan promo code

Can anyone recommend a POS that can do this?

Have you looked at Retail Pro. The have a new version that will allow you to do the sql queries. I don't know if it will do all of the others things you need, but it is a widely used pos system and Unlike Microsoft they just released a major upgrade version:

I have been complaining for some time about the lack of new features in the POS system. I could say the same of SBF. I also am getting ready to open a new store and am considering switching systems before the store is open. For the amount I am paying in yearly maintenance I am not getting my moneys worth.

I have asked for:

-Automatic batch CC settlement without user intervention.

-I agree with you that I should be able to add items while creating Purchase orders

-A friendlier Item creation screen especially for Clothing Retailers (Retail Pro is great at this)

-True integration to SBF not just GL (which they first said they would do and now say they will never do).
