Overview of POC / POS

Point of Commerce (POC) or Point of Sales (POS) refers to the application that manages the in-store sales transactions.

Store Types

There are two categories of stores:

  • Corp Stores
  • InStore Stores

In the above dashboard, it can be seen that out of 414 stores, there are 389 Corp stores and 15 InStore stores. Green color indicates that all stores are active. If any store is inactive at the moment, it is displayed with grey color. Along with these details, system displays “top 10 events” at the left and “bottom 10 stores by duration” at the right.

Store Data Transfer Control

This feature enables admin control from NV GUI to enable/disable NV data capturing for a particular store (or group of stores). This feature is helpful in case if NV is using more bandwidth. Data capturing from that store can be disabled for all terminals or x% of terminals for some definite time.

It supports store wise bandwidth stats in order to keep the information of transmit and received throughput. Transmit throughput is the request size and Received throughput is the response size in kbps. Stats will have following parameters:-

Max Receive throughput (kbps)

Average Receive throughput (kbps)

Max Transmit throughput (kbps)

Average Transmit throughput (kbps)

User can analyze high bandwidth of store data in dashboard and can disable it for a particular duration based on the requirements.

Admin control to enable/disable (pause/resume) NV data capturing on store

Requirement is to have admin control from NV GUI to enable/disable NV data capturing for a particular store.

Following options should be available for a store:

  • Disable  NV data capturing for specified duration
  • Disable NV data capturing for indefinite time
  • Enable NV data capturing if already disabled
  • Disable NV data capturing for n% of registers of a store

GUI Interface
