A more intelligent all‐in‐one solution  Ingenico’s sleek, web‐based point of sale terminal, the  iWP200, boasts a compact footprint and all‐in‐one solution,  including a built  in  receipt printer.    It  incorporates a  large, colour  touch screen and an optional  second  screen designed  to  increase  interaction with  customers by,  for example,  informing customers of up to the minute promotions. The terminal uses broadband to process card payments, leading to much faster payment processing. This connection is also used to connect to Cybertill’s Retail Store  One  which    features  quick  entry  keys  (called  hotshots)  helping  to  speed  up  Point  of  Sale transactions, whilst  linking seamlessly to other areas of the system such as stock and purchase order processing.   Retailers  are  able  to  successfully  and  economically manage  the  back  office,  stock  levels,  purchase orders,  sales  and  CRM  using  one  full market  solution. WebPOS  is  a  cloud‐based  system,  but with Ingenico’s payment processing element sitting on  Ingenico’s Axis platform, ensuring  it  is a  fully PCI‐DSS managed solution for retailers. In the event where the internet connectivity with the ‘cloud’ fails, the solution will still be able to process payment transactions offline or revert to the GPRS network.  Business benefits of WebPOS:  WebPOS offers a number of clear business benefits for independent retailers:
