Open systems can mean many different things to many different people. Truly open systems integrate your choice of hardware platform, operating system, and third party applications (polling, etc.) with the POS solution. POSitouch offers all this and more.
POSitouch has a unique ability to work with multiple platforms from an operating system standpoint. The application is completely Windows based and supports Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 98 and Windows 95 for both the Point of Sale and Back Office. So when it comes to choice, you decide what works best in your specific environment. By allowing you to choose, complete integration of every aspect of your business with our software is attainable. Our approach also insures compatibility with future releases of Microsoft products.
POSitouch is available in full 32 bit versions. Additionally, we support all network protocols and topologies including 10/100BaseT, Ethernet, TCP/IP and Netbios.
The Database is fully ODBC compliant utilizing standard relational approaches to data storage and retrieval. Information access can be either real time or periodic depending upon your needs. Data is easily and automatically exported and imported into your other databases and reporting mechanisms.
From a hardware standpoint, POSitouch has long embraced the open systems approach. We do not manufacture any hardware, but rather utilize the latest in offerings from recognized leaders in the industry. This approach allows our customers to pick and choose components such as touch screens, printers, cash drawers and computers. It also protects your investment as the software is always operating on the latest technologies from the computer industry. These choices do not have to be system-wide decisions. They can be workstation by workstation if desired.
