    How to setup SellerDeck EPOS Head office

    Overview of SellerDeck EPOS Head office:

    SellerDeck EPOS Head Office enables you to run any number of sites from a central location. These sites in turn can have multiple tills in operation. Normally one computer would be licensed as ‘Head Office’, whilst the branches have their tills licensed as ‘Network’ versions. Contact SellerDeck Sales for more details on licensing options.
    For instance, products, branch users, promotions etc can be added on the head office machine, which in turn can be pushed out to each of the branches. In turn, branches can send their transactional data back to head office for reporting purposes.
