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 or importing 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) email a copy of your sales export file to IPro@FoodSoftware.com, along with 2) any documentation that
describes the sales export file and 3) also 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 "(polling not required)" means in the chart below- that you do not have to purchase polling software to create the file that IPro needs.
