Get Peace of Mind
- Every Terminal able to run independently, network problem will be no stopper anymore.
- Efficient data exchanged, thus enable synchronization would only need a small bandwidth. Modem/Mobile phone would be enough.
- Eliminate the presence of store server, thus eliminate headache, remote maintenance and hardware/site maintenance.
- Data Exchange treated and monitor well, with real time monitoring and alert system.
- Lower cost in investment and operational maintenance, both personnel and sites/hardware.
- Customization based on business requirement.

POSEqunix System
Backed up by Standby Server in real time mirroring data from Master Server, configured in High Availability (HA), therefore if a problem occurred in Master, the Standby will automatically take over within less than 10 seconds
Master DB Server is intended for serving Database PostgreSQL/11DB or POS System especially in HO
The third one is HO POSEqunix Application Server, serving all POS functionality and features, also acting as data collection server from all POSTerminals, and controller to Backend System and 3rd Party System
System able to work independently without access to Server (Standalone).
Product, promotion, sales transaction, and stock position update in real time (<1 minute), as long as POSTerminal connected to HO
Comprehensive System Monitoring: for Business Process and Infrastructure
Easy Deployment for New Feature, Bugfix, and Patches
Versioning control and monitoring on POSTerminal application
Auto-update version on POSTerminal application
The Architecture POSTerminal
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), Web 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 Local Web Services and Agent. Local Web Services 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 POSTerminal, there are also drivers to cover high level communication with devices such as: Printers, Drawers, Scanners, EDC, etc.
Devices are managed by Local Web Service and also the Agent.
POSTerminal Business Logic:
-
1
Sales Transaction generated locally by Local Web Services, 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 POSCentral Server. 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 POSTerminal, Server will notify the Heartbeat Agent and it will be retrieved from Server and deploys it into POSTerminal
-
5
When Heartbeat Agent updates Data (Master Product, Promo, Member, etc) then it will restart the Application automatically upon certain request. The POS Application will be restarted after the last current transaction is completed. In most cases, POS Application will not be restarted, 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 POSTerminal sends vital information of the running system and is collected in HO as part of Monitoring data. Monitoring server provides vital information from every POSTerminal in real time and shows the latest status of the POSTerminal for health information purposes. Monitoring also gives information of Master data and POSTerminal Application consistency between HO and POSTerminal
