iPoS is a state-of-the-art thin-client browser-based product written using the Microsoft.NET architecture.  Whilst the primary mode of implementation is as a traditional thin client intranet application; the ability to install discrete components of the application at different points within the organisation mean that iPoS represents a highly scalable and reliable EPoS Solution. 

iPoS uses an n-tier architecture to create a flexible product that can be deployed in a wide variety of configurations:  It can be installed in any mode from operating at a single store on a stand-alone till, to a multi-site multi-server thin-client intranet environment.  By utilising the iPoS local resilience option it provides peace of mind to those concerned over communication channel reliability.

In addition to it's flexible deployment iPoS 's modularised component architecture, with its implicit use of XML, facilitates a high level of built-in integration capability.  Although iPoS ships complete with its own database as a turn key solution it is capable of operating with proprietary, or third party, data stores that can provide an XML interface to their data. 

Similarly it is capable of sharing its data with the external applications that can consume the iPoS XML interface.

Benefits to the retailer......

The wide range of implementations of iPoS mean we have a configuration to suit the needs of your business and grow with your business, regardless of its size.  As a thin-client application we can offer multi site retailers the ability to have:

  • Centralised data - no more local data, no more local backups, no loss of data if a till fails, and best of all real-time access to your sales data - no more waiting for the overnight dial.
  • A centralised application - all stores run the same version of software and are all updated simultaneously with new versions - no more complex rollout plans.
  • Easy setup - the EPoS software can be up and running on a till within five minutes of taking the till out of the box.
  • Low cost hardware - as a thin-client application has a small 'foot print' it can run on lower cost devices such as the new range of inexpensive thin-client terminals, or it can run on any older device, providing it can run Internet Explorer, extending the life of your current hardware.  The cost of rolling out new EPoS software will be much lower than you think.

To all retailers we offer, through our use of XML, a means to share data between your EPoS and your other systems.  No longer is your EPoS data closed off to you.
