The Orion Point of Sale System is a full featured point of sale system designed to integrate with popular accounting systems. The system is a full featured point of sale application developed in Microsoft’s robust C# language on the .Net platform.

The system works by extracting data from the accounting system and importing that data into the Point of Sale Database. Transactions can then be processed in the Point of Sale System. Even though Orion POS has its own data for Transaction processing, it still references the accounting database in realtime (if possible) to pick up current stock levels and pricing. At the end of the day (or whenever you decide), the transaction data created in the POS can be "Posted" back to the Accounting System.

From the operating perspective, the system looks to be fully integrated to the Accounting System with access to the Inventory and Customer Information.

The real benefit of this approach to the accounting system integration is that Orion POS does not have to have it's own Inventory, Accounts Receivable or General Ledger modules and can therefore allow your organization to take full advantage of the strengths of the Accounting System.
