Volanté POS Systems

edit

Volanté provides innovative, enterprise point of sale software solutions to the hospitality industry worldwide. Volanté’s cutting edge software offers unrivaled ease of use and reliability through a network of peer to peer terminals.

Not basing the system on the traditional Server/Client model, Volanté uses the power of distributed computing with peer to peer technology. Peer to peer decentralizes the responsibilities customarily given to the server and distributes the task among the peers. All clients have the ability to publish services and instead of requesting a server to perform work, clients can request the work to be done by any of its peers. Thus a server is not even required for normal client operations.

Volanté understands that your system cannot cause your business to halt. Servers go down, networks disconnect, and these events can happen at any given time. Volanté was designed to operate without any of these components.

Volanté also believes it is important to deliver POS systems that can evolve over time as new application ideas and hardware devices come to the fore. Application systems can no longer be, simply, point-in-time products. Data will need to be handled in common ways in robust communication environments. Application systems will need to be built around open standards to keep both costs down and integration seamless. They will have to become cross-platform compatible and operate in mixed environments with the greatest degree of fault tolerance, data integrity, and do this as transparently as possible for the user.

Great opportunities lie in a technology developer’s ability to design and deliver systems that will preserve end users’ investments in technological evolution and maximize ROI in the process.
