Enterprise Solutions
POSitouch offers not only strong store level solutions, but also a world class enterprise offering. This solution is completely integrated with our POSitouch store solution. The key components of an Enterprise Solution are:

Configuration Management - The POS databases for all stores can be managed centrally to reflect differences in products, menus, prices, tax rates, hardware configurations etc.

Data Migration - Sales, labor and inventory data from the store can be extracted automatically and migrated up through the tiers of the enterprise.

Data Warehousing - Data from the stores can be easily incorporated into any database or data warehousing solution at any tier of the enterprise

The POSitouch Enterprise solution is scalable to handle any chain environment. Some clients are corporate entities that need a headquarters to store solution. Others are franchisee based needing headquarters to corporate store as well as headquarters to franchisee and franchisee to store solutions. Any enterprise architecture can be accommodated.

Configuration management is done differently by every chain. Some clients have common databases across their entire enterprise, while others have regionally based needs and others yet have different databases at each location. Some allow for a mixture of corporately controlled information, along with local variations that store level employees can effect, while others completely restrict all local access to the database. POSitouch provides security down to the individual data field level to allow maximum flexibility.

With these powerful tools, POSitouch enables multi-unit operators to manage and control their many sites, locally or around the world, from any location. It facilitates new product launches by electronically distributing new menu items or prices. It also allows for rapid analysis of data to know how products are moving chain-wide and which ones are profitable.
