Build a terminal inventory
POS integrations are configured per outlet and often per terminal. An accurate list saves a great deal of rework.
- Every outlet with its legal entity and address
- Every terminal in use, including backup devices
- Connectivity quality at each location
- Who supervises the counter and handles exceptions
Decide what happens when the connection drops
Counters cannot stop trading because an endpoint is unavailable. Agree the behaviour in advance: queue the transaction, retry on a schedule, and surface anything that remains unsent.
The important requirement is that nothing is silently lost, and that a supervisor can see the exception list without opening a database.
A retry queue nobody reviews is the same as no retry queue. Assign the exception list to a named role from day one.
Receipt output and staff training
Where an identifier or QR is required on the customer receipt, confirm the printed layout early with the people who will hand it over.
Counter staff need one short procedure: what to do when a receipt shows an unsubmitted state. Everything else can stay in the background.
Monitoring after go-live
Reporting obligations continue every trading day, so the integration needs day-to-day visibility rather than a project sign-off.
We deliver these integrations with submission dashboards, filters by outlet and terminal, and a clear exception view so problems are handled the same day they occur.
