Multi-Site FTP

Multi-Site FTP Screen

 

Multi-Site FTP allows stores to share and exchange information using the Internet. Whether you have two locations or thousands, Multi-Site FTP allows all your stores to work as part of a team. 

The following information can optionally be exchanged between all locations or just between stores in a specific zone (region or district): New inventory, inventory item changes, inventory item price changes, stock transfers between stores, general ledger transactions, vendors, departments, bad check information, new customers, customer changes, customer purchases, accounts receivable information, time clock entries, end-of-day reports, store data backups and store-to-store Email.

 
Transfers can be sent once a day at a specific time or throughout the day at specified intervals (from once per minute to once every 6 hours).
The option to export and import setup information allows you to set up Multi-Site FTP at your remote locations with just few clicks of the mouse.
Multi-Site FTP setup information is password protected. 
Information can optionally be transferred by floppy or Zip drive.
Transferred information is encrypted for complete data security. 

Uses standard FTP (File Transfer Protocol) with optional FTP firewall support to exchange information between stores

Multi-Site FTP runs in the background on one of your current systems and all stores can send and receive information simultaneously.

Complete and detailed transfer log includes option to send Email notification if a transfer error occurs. 

Different retail prices can be specified for certain types of locations. For example, the retail price of an item at a mall store may be different than at other locations.
