Real-Time Retail Management
What is a ‘real-time’ retail management system?
Real-time or web-based EPoS means that your point of sale system communicates live over the internet. Yourcegid uses a central, dedicated database to store all your retail information. This is instantly updated with every change that occurs across your entire retail estate.
What are the benefits of the Yourcegid real-time EPOS system?
- Live reports on sales and stock movements.
- No installation required – you don’t need technicians on-site.
- Low cost of ownership – easy to add new stores and tills as all set-up is done live over the web.
- No polling issues between stores, ever!
- Instantly activate promotions and customer activities across your network.
- Integration with third party applications is live and seamless because of the open architecture of the product.
All your retail information is accessible from a single internet connection, from your office, stores or smartphone. Your data is secure against accident or burglary because it’s encrypted and backed up on Yourcegid servers. Your EPOS is always compliant and up-to-date, because it is automatically updated with the latest Yourcegid releases.

What if the internet goes down?
In some systems, this is a real risk. However, the Yourcegid software is designed to automatically flip into ‘stand alone’ mode so you can continue to take payments and trade normally. When the connection is restored, the software will automatically sync data back to the server.
What if I don’t want to use real-time communications?
Yourcegid offers a ‘classic’ communications option for those retailers who choose not to use real-time. The ‘classic’ option is a highly configurable data exchange enabling you to choose the data to be sent from head office to your network of stores and vice versa.
