Technical Guide to
Point of Sale at the Edge

Your current Point of Sale (POS) system, likely a relic from over two decades ago, is hindering your business's efficiency. Tangled wires and a hidden server in the back-office spell disaster waiting to happen. Even if you've upgraded to a cloud-based system, you're now at the mercy of internet connectivity, and when it's down, so is your business.

 But there's hope. The future lies in contactless and mobile solutions, catering to modern consumers' preferences. Think curbside delivery, pop-up locations, contactless kiosks, mobile app orders, and third-party websites – these are the bare minimum for survival. 

The challenges are twofold: cutting the wires and ensuring real-time communication at every step of the process. This eBook outlines an innovative approach called ‘peer-to-peer’, ‘local-first’, ‘offline-first’ or ‘cloud-optional’. This architecture prioritizes seamless device-to-device data transfer without the cloud as a bottleneck.

 Your business’s success hinges on how swiftly information flows. It’s time to unchain your POS system and embrace the future.
