Typical multi-store use case for Dynamics POS

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 20

Hi,

I'm an ISV (mostly web/ecommerce development) and since I work with online retails, I occasionally get asked about POS systems from clients. I'm trying to understand how Dynamics POS would fit into a typical operation. I understand the single store model, essentially a single instance of the server and one instance of POS per register. What happens in a multistore environment though? Is it expected that each store will run its own instance of server? If so, is there some way to aggregrate the management functions over multiple stores? Alternatively, is it possible to run multiple stores from a single instance of server (I guess this must be technically possible but the question is, is this the anticipated use model?). Could a single instance of server with the appropriate version of SQL Server scale to hundreds of tills?

Thanks,

Phil

    Phil,

    POS is designed as a single store POS only and according the M$, will remain that.

    The only option at this time I'm aware of is a HQ like product called OpSuite www.opsuite.com  One can use RMS or POS with that product.

     

    RMS, on the other hand, has a HQ product called RMS:Headquarters
