Retailers need to be updated with the recent innovations in technology to push your business forward and compete effectively. IBM has launched its Smarter Solution Series to usher in these breakthroughs.

WebPOS can run on any high-quality hardware for cashiering activities including IBM SurePOS machines. Retailers are ensured that they not only have the best POS software but also perpetual quality in hardware.

Alliance WebPOS can operate on any preferred operating system and with the retailers' existing third-party applications. Regular software updates are managed thru remote web administration. This eliminates any worries on the POS software being outdated. Moreover, all your POS data is securely downloaded from and uploaded to the server using HTTPS, internal encryption and decryption so sensitive data will not be in the reach of any unauthorized personnel. Loss of information is almost impossible with the secure databases supported by WebPOS such as the IBM DB2.
