FTP

XpertMart™ Java POS software is designed so that information flows quickly, efficiently and accurately. XpertMart™ runs a distributed database so each store in your chain has its own stock and transaction data, making for tighter control and accountabiliy. Unlike ASP thin client retail solutions, you are never vulnerable to an Internet outage.
XpertMart™ synchronizes data between the stores and the home office through an FTP Server. There is no need for sequential polling, which is slow and error-prone. The FTP Server acts as a virtual mailbox: stores do not have to be online when the home office uploads new data.

Use XpertMart's Task Manager to program the data synchronization as often as one hour apart, giving managers at the corporate office real time information on sales and stocks. Data synchronization occurs in the background and does not interfere with the transactions underway at the point of sale. Stores can access the FTP Server through a dial-up modem or broadband connection. So whether it's speed of transmission or total infrastructure cost you're worried about, XpertMart™ has you covered.
