Profit Talk
Move Cash Register Data to a Central Location
This application demonstrates our ability to build multi-threaded communications applications, for the purposes of providing real-time updates of data from offsite locations to a central business database. The application was written in Delphi 3 and 5 using Paradox for the backend
database and the Winshoes/Indy communications components for communications.
The purpose of this application is to allow a human operator to designate a schedule of when data updates occur at offsite cash register locations, through dial-up or FTP connections. The application allows the operator to assign the database table where the downloaded register
data files will be posted. The application also provides a mechanism for updating offsite cash register data repositories with current copies of the centralized data.
