Electronic Point of Sale
Feature and functional capabilities are highly customisable according to the customer operations. DISTRiX allows maximum flexibility beyond the scope of this document.
Capturing in store transactions is the heart of a retailers operation. While many point of sale solutions are available to the market, DISTRiX offers an uncommon perspective on the management of store operations.
Historically store functionality has been restricted by the reality the store is off line, specific to that store and the central HQ data is as reliable as the last batch update. This was an acceptable approach in a 1980's and 1990's world when communications were unreliable, slow and exceptionally expensive. Today DISTRiX offers the full systems capabilities of the head office available in the store in real time and even through the EPOS device if so desired.
In today's fast moving world a real time solution is particularly vital to those retail operations where holding large quantities of high value stock is undesirable or where there is a high population of contractor business requiring real time credit account history and sale order processing. DISTRiX EPOS enables the retailer to have full real time access to the head office systems while checkout operators have their own set of dedicated functions.
For those operations not needing real time operations DISTRiX EPOS can be layered with multi-tiered back office servers capturing store data, batching and transmitting the data at whatever frequency the retailer wants. In this way achieving the best of both worlds - near real time data availability with the resiliency features of batch store and forward.
