WITH OFFLINE POS, “SERVER DOWN”

MEANS “WE’RE OPEN FOR BUSINESS”

It’s storming and the phone line between your remote location and the main site goesdown, disconnecting you from the server. Do you painstakingly process all your transactionsby hand, or, even worse, close your store? Under difficult circumstances, customers needyou more than ever to provide lumber, tools and supplies. What about those times whenthe server requires maintenance during business hours? With Activant Eagle® OfflinePoint-of-Sale for Windows, you can continue to process transactions offline with theconvenience of processing online.

Each night, an updated copy of your customer account and inventory information isstored on your point-of-sale station, so if you need to process transactions offline, you’llalways have access to credit limits, special customer pricing, inventory stock levels and

estimating functions. With offline access to this level of data, youcan continue to provide your high standard of customer servicewhile protecting your business from additional transactions onover-limit or delinquent accounts.

Most point-of-sale accessories, including bar code scanners andnetwork printers, will still operate, allowing you to continue tospeed your customers through the checkout line.

When your system comes back online, it’s a simple process toupload your saved information and reconcile your sales andinventory records - even if your point-of-sale server connectionhas been disconnected all day.
