Powerful solutions. Unbeatable support.

In 1993, a young married couple set forth to disrupt a fledgling technology sector known as Point of Sale. Hunkered down in a small office, located in Fair Oaks, CA, Mick & Sandy Malaney identified a severe need for specialized client services to independent retail stores. As technology advanced, the customer was left behind. Fast forward over 3 decades later, Big Hairy Dog is an award-winning help desk providing concierge service to a worldwide retail community.

"We have received nothing but excellent service. We even receive monthly courtesy calls just to see how we're doing."
—Ron Robinson, Inc.

RIOT RFID

Late nights, long weekends and exhausted staff laboriously scanning each item for inventory reconciliation is over. RIOT utilizes RFID technology which allows an employee to scan inventory by the square foot, not by each item. Scanning inventory goes from days to minutes with immediate inventory updates. No more quarterly, bi-annual or annual inventories. RIOT’s simplicity and speed accelerates the frequency of taking physical inventories ensuring you more profit and less loss.

Our Story

Why Big Hairy Dog?

“A POS system needs to be smart enough, flexible enough, and adaptable enough to stay one step ahead of customer demands, aggressive competitors, and the market itself.”

— Mick & Sandy Malaney

The fast-moving world of retail technology is changing every single day. More and more, store owners are turning to technology partners for help.

However, it’s long after the technology is installed that Big Hairy Dog earns its bones. It’s simple: Day in, day out for over thirty years personifies commitment. Retail evolves, technology changes, staff transitions but Big Hairy Dog remains faithful to the store owner’s vision.

Outlasting the competition proves many things, but at Big Hairy Dog nothing is taken for granted. It’s why founders Mick and Sandy Malaney insist on being available to you 24/7, including holidays. It’s one thing to proclaim award-winning customer relations, it’s quite another to make available personal phone numbers. Call them any time, for any reason.
