OnePOS

OneCard electronic point of sale can offer a range of POS terminals, which have been designed to operate quickly and effectively in a campus environment. The system operates by swiping the card at the POS system. The appropriate amount is deducted from the users back office account and the account balance is then displayed. All information/data is on-line to the back office providing the manager with accurate reports in various formats. The system reduces manual processes and increases the efficiency of the service.

OneCard Solutions EPOS system is based on a simple client server model where the role of the server is purely that of data storage. Communications between client and server take place via ODBC (open database connectivity) ensuring that the data can be stored in anything from simple Microsoft access databases to complex Oracle servers. This means that the solution offered is tailored to the business rather than tying people down to buying more hardware than is needed.

The client side is designed to run under windows 98 or higher on a wide spectrum of hardware with a low minimum machine specification again allowing for existing hardware to be used in many situations rather than requiring expensive hardware purchases. The client software is designed with the goals of reliability and stability in mind rather than supporting every last possible combination of business practices. The design is fully modular ensuring that future extensibility (which can be undertaken by OCS Software Engineers) is a relatively pain free process.
