We have developed this system as a comprehensive solution to address common challenges faced in the retail sector. equpos is able to serve transactions independently, meaning it does not always need to be connected to the Head Office. However, it seamlessly updates and sends transactions to the Head Office (HO) in real-time in online conditions. This reliability is particularly valuable in areas where network stability cannot be guaranteed. Additionally, our system provides strict access control at HO through the Dashboard for Comprehensive Monitoring. This feature allows the HO to monitor the status of each POS in every store, as well as integrate product and promotion information with sales data. The data communication topology used by equpos is simple and efficient. Data from the terminal is directly transmitted to the Head Office. Furthermore: our system ensures fast and efficient data transfer using Proxy Mode, utilizing minimal bandwidth and remaining resistant to intermittent usage.

Why should you use equpos?

The propagation of master data changes from the HO to each terminal is completed in less than 1 minute for each store. This quick propagation process is made possible by the local data distribution capabilities available at each store. Data changes made at the HO will be efficiently distributed by simply performing delta propagation. Other notable advantages include: the End of Day process that takes only a few seconds; Automatic device recognition on the terminal; Integration with Electronic Data Capture (EDC) and Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) allows cashiers to receive the bill amount directly without the need for manual input; High compatibility with existing and various devices; Updating prices and promotions in minutes; Easy Deployment; Automatic Network Recovery; Suspend and Recall can be performed using different terminal; and Capability to recover transaction after a system crash.

Already implemented in many Stores, such as:

Yogya Department Store, Borma, Carrefour/Transmart, etc.

The Terminal Architecture

Terminal application architecture has six layers. The order of layers from the base starts from Operating System, File System, Agent, and Driver (Drawer, Printer, Scanner, EDC), POS Service, Library, and User Interface. POS Interface to User is managed by a customized web browser with some functional libraries. The User Interface communicates directly with POS Service and Agent. POS Service serves some communication with Store Server/HO. Agent maintains some other connection functionality like Host-to-host, Heartbeat, Version changes/patches, Data update, etc.

In a Terminal, there are also drivers to cover high level communication with devices such as: Printers, Drawers, Scanners, EDC, etc. Devices are managed by POS Service and also the Agent.

Terminal Business Logic

1

Sales Transaction generated locally by POS Service, and collected by Heartbeat Agent to consolidate into HO Backend
2

In such a period of time in between 5 seconds up to 5 minutes, Heartbeat Agent connects to the Server Service. That period of connection and disconnect is called Heartbeats.
3

There are some payloads possibly retrieved from heartbeat, and any type of files depend on the condition
4

When they are updated available for the Terminal, Server will notify the Heartbeat Agent and it will be retrieved from Server and deploys it into Terminal
5

When Heartbeat Agent updates Data (Master Product, Promo, Member, etc) then it will reload the Application automatically upon certain request. The POS Application will be reloaded after the last current transaction is completed. In most cases, POS Application will not be reloaded, but the data is updated seamlessly in the background
6

Master data update and Application update will be done smoothly and seamlessly, in less than a minute
7

The heartbeat from Terminal sends vital information of the running system and is collected in HO as part of Monitoring data. Monitoring server provides vital information from every Terminal in real time and shows the latest status of the Terminal for health information purposes. Monitoring also gives information of Master data and Terminal Application consistency between HO and Terminal
