Architecture

Oracle relational database scales virtually without limit as your business grows.
Open design for easy integration with legacy systems to maximize existing resources. For example, Employee Payroll, Merchandising, ERP, or CRM.
Low administration and easy installation takes the burden off your IT staff. Built-in Technician’s toolkit provides easy access to a variety of tools for maintaining the database (tuning, re-indexing, performing backup/recovery, rebuilding control and password files, adding data files, and checking/compiling schema).
Supports SQL (Structured Query Language) and XML (extensible Markup Language), which provide access to standard development platforms for any custom development.

Communication Using ECM

Exchange data between stores/stations at any time without disrupting store operations.
Specify the types of data to exchange, and designate which station controls inventory.
ECM encodes data to XML (extensible Markup Language) in a compressed format, and then transmits the data by whatever device (Internet, modem, disk, etc.) you select. At the target station, the data is decompressed and decoded.

Exchange data with a variety of systems, including CRM, ERP, and Payroll.
