  • Shortcut from Desktop (Fig 1.2)

Logging In

  • Cache System Data ~ On starting EPOS the following screen (Fig 2.1) is displayed.
  • Clicking Yes will synchronise the epos system with the Linnworks database
  • Linnworks epos system allows the user to locally store product details on the client system, because the epos client will not be running on the same system as the Linnwoprks database
  • This means that in an event where the epos system cannot connect to Linnworks, a sale can still be made using the data stored on the local computer.

It is recommended to cache product data

  • At the start of the day
  • When you have changed product details in Linnworks
  • When adding new users a cache must occur

If there is a problem with the network, the epos system will still function based on the data that was last downloaded and stored in the cache. This allows the till to be operated offline.
