How does POS integration work?
Accounts
Accounts is the  nancial manager of the system. It holds the  nancial details of the store. It knows the prices,
inventory levels and buy points of inventory. It knows how much inventory you have on hand, at what point you
need to order more, at what price you normally sell it and what discounts apply to which customers.
Accounts keeps track of your  nancial status - how much you have in your account, who owes you money and to
whom you owe money.
Accounts records your customer’s details - their addresses, account details and discounts applied. You make price
changes, or create new customers, within Accounts.
Accounts takes information that is passed to it through the POS Administrator from POS terminals and makes daily
adjustments to its accounts and  les. It can then produce a myriad of reports that allow you to make informed
decisions regarding your business.
For example, it can tell you the inventory items that are pro table and those that are not. It can prompt you to order
particular items when inventory become low. It can show your good and low sales months, allowing you to make
provisions for sta ng and  nancial management.
POS Administrator
POS Administrator is the o ce manager of the system. Whenever you require price changes or customer updates,
it passes this information to the terminals. It also passes back information that the terminal stores during the day so
that inventory and accounts can be maintained. Used properly, this system maintains perpetual inventory, giving
you accurate, to the minute details of inventory on hand and item sales.
