The importance of cloud

The cloud is an IT term that is short for “cloud computing” and is also frequently referred to in German as the “Internet cloud” or “data cloud.” The cloud is often used to store data or run software applications. The advantage is that files and software applications do not need to be stored or installed locally on a computer or within one’s own network. It consists, so to speak, of interconnected computer networks. This means that all data stored in the cloud can be accessed at any time.

What is a cloud POS system?

A cloud-based POS system is a digital, internet-based point-of-sale system in which POS software, data, and reports are managed centrally in the cloud. Unlike traditional cash registers, you benefit from modern software with integrated inventory management, automatic data backups, analytics, and numerous expansion options.

The LocaFox POS software can be flexibly deployed on various POS systems—for example, on a tablet, the mobile LocaFox MOVE, the high-performance LocaFox PRO, or a self-checkout terminal. This allows you to choose the hardware that best suits your business, while all devices access the same cloud platform and the same back office.

All reports digital in the cloud

A key advantage of cloud POS systems is that you never have to worry about losing your data again. All data records are backed up in the cloud on servers in Germany. Thus, you can access your data from different end devices (PC, laptop, tablet, etc.). All reports, such as the receipt journal, the daily financial statements, the cash book, etc. can be accessed in the back office and, if necessary, printed out again in physical form.

  • Digital Reports: All reports—such as the sales journal, daily closings, and cash book—are available to you in digital form. This allows you to keep track of every single transaction and access them at any time in the back office.
  • Analytics & Statistics: The LocaFox back office provides you with detailed analytics and statistics to gain even more precise insights into your products, sales, margins, and more. The LocaFox point-of-sale system is designed to provide you with additional support in your day-to-day business operations.
  • Updates + Further Development: The LocaFox software is constantly being improved to continue meeting the needs and expectations of our customers. Updates are released several times a year, introducing new features and bug fixes to ensure the app runs even better for you.

Connection to external systems

Another great advantage of cloud POS systems is that with LocaFox POS software you are also able to connect external systems to your POS system. This gives you not only the option to customize the POS system according to your wishes, but also a wide range of possibilities in terms of functionality. The Open-API interface allows you to connect your store with an online store or to couple it with external store or merchandise management systems.

Online store:

  • PrestaShop: On the one hand, we work with the PrestaShop online store. This can be easily coupled with the LocaFox checkout system. The LocaFox back office continues to serve as the "master" system, so that all products can be sold both online and in-store.
  • 1&1 IONOS: On the other hand, we work together with the 1&1 IONOS Online Shop. When coupled with 1&1 IONOS Online Shop, IONOS also becomes the new "master" system. This means that your products are created and managed in the IONOS portal.
