Integration Flexibility with Prospex POS Whether you’re looking to export data from Prospex POS or synchronize multiple databases in real-time, our toolkit is equipped to handle your requirements. We offer seamless integration capabilities, utilizing both open-source applications like SymmetricDS and our proprietary RESTful web services API, to ensure that Prospex POS users have the data they need at their fingertips.

Prospex Pos is an ideal Point of Sale (POS) solution for a single General Store through to multi-lane Supermarket type retail outlets.
Use the Simple screen option.
It’s designed for rapid throughput such as when product barcode scanning is the main method of entry.
Specialist Store
As sales transactions generally happen at a more leisurely pace or are more complex than a simple barcode scan.
Use the default Standard screen option.
With this mode set you get extra functionality such as being able to store & recall partially completed orders – we call them Layaways – whilst being able to process another sale.

We don’t claim Prospex Pos is an equal competitor with the likes of costly commercial high-end Fine-Dining or QSR systems out there – that would be foolish – yet we can claim it works really well and the basics are more than fully covered. In fact, many users tell us things like; our ability to send products to grouped-multiple-remote printers makes Prospex Pos exceed what they have seen elsewhere.
Use the Restaurant screen mode.
It has Floor, Table and Reservations management included. As well, of course, Kitchen ticket printing.

At busy times a bar relies on users being able to rapidly access an item and ring it through.
Use the Standard screen mode.
Item buttons on the sales screen can be quickly resized to suit and bar tabs can be handled using the Layaways functionality.

Although Prospex Pos is designed to shine when used with a touchscreen you don’t actually need one as it works really well with a standard keyboard and mouse setup too.

If you already have or intend to buy POS hardware then it’s very likely that Prospex Poswill run on it. Unless it’s very specialist.
The majority of POS systems out there run Windows, as we understand it, in one form or another. That’s mainly because POS unit manufacturers generally focus on the biggest market opportunity.
However if you have kit from one of the big name POS system providers like NCR or Wincor Nixdorf it can present something of a setup challenge due to their proprietary nature. Though happy to say we have helped customers get Prospex Posup and running on these.

For you technical people out there; ProspexPos is written in Java which means it can run on billions of devices (we know of someone who even has it running on Raspberry Pi) and that’s quite an achievement.
It’s very, very likely then that you can use that old PC from Dell or HP that’s gathering dust in the cupboard.

Running Prospex Pos on Windows tablets, as well those with Linux OS, isn’t a compromise in any way.
You get the full app’, including storing data and connecting peripherals just as if it was installed on a POS terminal or PC.

We recommend a minimum 10″ screen size tablet because of its versalitity to be either counter-top mounted – for general use – or mobile to take orders on the move.

If you want to run Prospex Pos on an Apple iPad or Android tablet then that’s possible too, though you will first need to install Prospex Pos on a host PC or server and then use an RDP client to connect to it.

Prospex Posv4.x series minimum fully supported screen size is 1024x768pixel and still automatically scales to fit anything bigger.
Previous versions minimum is 800x600pixel.
Prospex Poshas two screen-modes options; Window and Full screen. You can switch between these whenever you like.
Use Window option to run Prospex Pos just like any other application such as your email.
Use Full screen if you want to locks users out from running other applications.

The basis for success of any application running a multi-terminal or Cloud connected installation is a solid and reliable network.

If you have chosen to run one of the commercial grade SQL databases and it’s sitting on a separate server; make sure it is installed and configured by someone who knows how to do it properly.

If you intend to use wireless then be prepared to spend money to get the best router you can afford. Spend time setting it up to get the best reliability.
Best advice that can be given is: Don’t compromise!

By default Prospex Pos expects a Cash Drawer to be connected to a ticket printer.

It is often better to buy a Cash Drawer at the same time as your printer as a known working pair.

Cash Drawers do vary both in their connections and voltages. The common standard is an RJ-11 connector and 12volts solenoid

A Customer Display also known as a VFD can either be already integrated into your POS terminal or as a stand-alone unit.

The Esc/POS protocol is often used though some manufacturers exclusively use their own proprietary protocol.

Connection types vary. Installing in Prospex Pos works best with Serial port connections. Though USB and the more complicated daisy-chained configuration (POS terminal>Printer>Customer Display) is also feasible

Most Barcode scanners are available with a USB connection. They are usually plug-and-play; your operating system helps with the install.

Prospex Pos can also handle Serial (COM) scanners.

Just make sure whichever scanner you choose can read, and is configured to read, EAN, UPC and Code128 as these are the barcode options in Prospex Pos

Prospex Pos supports Casio PD1, CAS PDII, Dialog 1 and Samsung ESP protocols with Serial (COM) interfaces only.

There is also the ability to have an on-screen pop-up weighing scale dialogue appear during a sale which allows you to sell a fractional part of product item quantity. This functionality needs to be included in a Product’s settings with the Scale option set to screen.

We now include, as standard, a fully compliant and approved PCI/EMV P2PE PA-DSS solution using our posApps Plugin Manager for :

• Dejavoo – USA, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America
• PaymentSense – United Kingdom and Ireland

These providers use the latest “nex-gen” type of payment terminals which massively reduce the risk to merchants introduced in the current PCI regulations.
