Advanced methods of payment are crucial to every telecom company. The ever-growing customer base and the large footprint require more payment offices. CBOSS Corporation offers an Internet Cash Register drastically facilitating the creation and management of new points-of-sales.
CBOSSacr Internet Cash Register allows dealers and carriers to register payments via switched low-bandwidth channels or the Internet, dramatically reducing requirements to the cash register’s software.

System Operation

System is built around the client/server architecture.

CBOSSacr requires a connection to CBOSSbcc, while the Internet dramatically expands the PoS network. The system also supports the offline operation of cash registers, with the collected payments stored in the local database and exported to CBOSSbcc when the Internet connection becomes available.

Key Features

• CBOSSacr supports the following modes of operation:
  • Online mode
    An always-on connection to the CBOSSbcc server enables the instant registration of payments and gives additional control over the cash desk operations.
  • Offline mode
    The collection of payments does not require an always-on connection to the system server. To register payments in CBOSSbcc , an Internet connection is established and all transactions are exported to CBOSSbcc from the local database.
  • OLSP mode
    Subscriber payments are registered on the local PC. No connection to the system server is required.
