What a shop runs on

The things that stop a sale when they stop working

Point of sale

Registers, cash drawers and receipt printers. When the till will not open, nothing else on this list matters.

Card terminals

The pin pad, the connection behind it and the settlement at the end of the day. Card payments bring rules with them, and we cover those below.

Store network and Wi-Fi

Metal shelving, mirrors and a full shop floor eat signal. Coverage has to be designed for the building you actually have.

Scanners and label printers

Barcode scanners and label printers drop off the network and nobody knows why. It is usually addressing, not the hardware.

Stock and inventory

What the shelf says, what the system says and what the website says should be the same number. That is a plumbing job.

Cameras and recording

Cameras that are actually recording, kept long enough to be useful, and reachable without opening a hole in the network.

The back office

The machine that holds the accounts, the payroll and the supplier files. Usually the least protected computer in the building.

Guest Wi-Fi

Customers want Wi-Fi. It must not sit on the same network as the registers or the back office. That separation is the whole job.

Phones and orders

The line customers call, the line suppliers call, and a way to answer both when the shop is busy.
What we do

In the shop, and behind the counter

Cabling and store Wi-Fi

Cat6 and fibre, access points placed for the floor plan, registers wired rather than hoped for. Our own crew, not a subcontractor.

Separating what must stay apart

Registers, card terminals, cameras and guest Wi-Fi on their own networks, so a customer laptop cannot reach the till.

Security and updates

Firewalls, two-step sign-in, antivirus that reports back, and patching on a schedule you approve rather than whenever it arrives.

Backups and a way back

Copies off site and restores tested, for the office machine, the server and the online store.

The online store

Build, move, speed up or fix. Hosting, certificates, checkout, and the connections to stock, accounting and the marketplaces.

One supplier for both halves

The shop network and the website on one contract, so nobody gets to blame the other supplier when an order does not come through.
Your online store

The platforms we build on and the marketplaces we connect

WooCommerce and WordPress

Self-hosted, you own it, and it sits naturally with hosting we already run.

Shopify

Hosted and simple to run day to day. We handle the theme, the apps, the data and the connections.

Magento and Adobe Commerce

For a large catalogue and complicated rules, when the lighter platforms start to strain.

BigCommerce

Hosted, with more built in before you start adding paid apps.

PrestaShop

Self-hosted and widely used across Spanish-speaking markets.

OpenCart and CS-Cart

Lighter self-hosted platforms that suit a focused catalogue and a tight budget.

Odoo

When the store, the stock, the invoicing and the accounts should be one system rather than five.

Built from scratch

When nothing off the shelf fits, we write it, and we document it so you are not tied to us.

Marketplaces

Amazon, eBay, Walmart and Newegg, plus the other major marketplaces. Listings, stock and orders kept in step with your own store.
Why retailers pick us

Why shops in Miami and Hialeah choose Barreras IT

Miami and Hialeah, on site

We are a Miami company and we cover on-site work across Miami-Dade, including Hialeah, Doral, Miami Lakes, Medley, Miami Springs, Coral Gables and Brickell.

We answer in Spanish

Counter staff, office staff and owners can call and write in Spanish or English and get answered the same way.

The shop and the website, one company

Most IT firms do the network and most agencies do the website. When an order fails you need one company that owns both.

We do not certify you for PCI

Nobody hands out a PCI certificate. We do the technical work and help you through the self-assessment. We will not sell you a badge.

Our prices are published

Every rate for the shop side is on the site, per device and per month. You can work out the cost before anyone sends you a proposal.

We do our own cabling

Cat6, fibre and access points are our own service line, so the shop floor gets done properly.

Per device, not per user

Two people sharing a register is one device, not two users. For a shop that usually costs less.

One supplier, one bill

Network, registers, cameras, phones, backup, hosting and the store, from one company.

After hours by agreement

Retail works weekends. Work outside business hours is available and priced in your agreement, rather than promised and quietly forgotten.
Plans

Three ways to work with us

Pick the level of cover the shop needs. Every price is per device and per month, and all of them are published on the site.

Pay As You Go

You call us when something breaks and we bill by the hour, on site or remote. It suits a small shop that runs fine most of the year and wants help on hand for the busy season.
See what it costs

Proactive Managed

We watch your registers, back office machines and network all year, patch them on a schedule you approve and keep antivirus current. Project work is still billed by the hour, at a reduced rate.
See what it costs

Fully Managed

Everything in Proactive, plus the labour. Support, updates and the work that keeps the shop floor and the back office running sit in one monthly fee per device.

Questions we get

What retailers ask us

Can you make us PCI compliant, or PCI certified?

Nobody issues a PCI certificate. The PCI Security Standards Council does not certify merchants. Depending on how many card transactions you take, you either fill in a self-assessment questionnaire yourself or bring in a qualified assessor. What we do is the technical half: the network separation, the firewalls, the sign-in rules, the logging, the patching and the evidence, and we help you answer the questionnaire honestly. Compliance stays yours. We help you get there and stay there.
