IPro POS Link Modules

IPro is able to link to most point-of-sale (POS) and electronic cash registers (ECR) currently on the market by reading files created by the POS itself or by polling software. These links eliminate hand entry of sales data into IPro and can save you a great deal of time.

Below is a partial list of our library of IPro POS link modules. Note that each link is listed as a combination of device and polling software (unless polling is unnecessary or provided with the system as indicated).

The variety of POS systems on the market is so great that chances are excellent that the link module you need will not be in our library already. That's no problem- almost every time we get an order, it's for a new one. The charge to develop new links is the same as the charge for existing links-- a flat fee of $399.00.

If you want us to make a link module that we don't already have: 1) send us a copy on a disk of your polling file, 2) send us any documentation that describes what's on the disk and 3) send us any names and phone numbers of the dealer or manufacturer who can provide us with technical information.

The standard version of IPro includes link modules to accept sales data formatted to our specifications.  These standard link modules accept data in csv-text, Access and dBase formats.

More on Polling Software: Polling software is usually for Electronic Cash Registers ("ECR") that are not PC-based. Polling software's job is to enable PCs to connect to ECRs (often by phone line) and tranfser ("poll") sales data from the ECR to the PC and create sales files on the PC. Polling software may be sold separately from the ECR and may be from companies other than the manufacturer of the ECR.

Most PC-based POS systems do not need polling software. PC-based systems usually create sales files that can be exported to IPro without extra polling software. This is what "Provided with POS System" means in the chart below- that you do not have to purchase polling software to create the file that IPro needs.
