How Do I Configure TimeForge with Micros Point of Sale?
TimeForge can integrate with several Point of Sale systems, including Micros RES 4. RES 4 is the point of sale system supplied with many of the Micros 3700 hardware, and is a very popular POS system.
TimeForge integration with Micros involves installing the TimeForge Micros Bridge software on the computer system hosting the Sybase database that powers Micros RES 4.
The TimeForge Micros software will read and write to your Micros system as necessary, and can enforce your TimeForge schedules – preventing employees from riding the clock, clocking in early or clocking out late. Additionally, you can forecast sales and inventory needs using TimeForge and your Micros sales data.
Ensure the Software is Configured Properly
If the TimeForge Micros Bridge was not properly configured to use a Web Service account, you will first need to configure the Web Services.
Configure the TimeForge Micros Bridge
If the TimeForge Micros Bridge has not yet been fully configured, make sure to set up the Web Service Username and Password.
These values can be configured on the TimeForge web site, and will allow the software to communicate with TimeForge securely.
Configure the Micros POS Integration
Configure the Dinerware POS side of the TimeForge Micros Bridge. Some of the important values on this screen include:
1. Micros RES 4 Server settings, including the Database Name, Username and Password.
2. Choose how often the software should poll or synchronize with the Micros POS system.
Set Up the Translator
Review the TimeForge Micros Bridge dashboard.
1. The Last Successful Sync Date shows the last date and time that the software was able to read from your Micros database.
2. The Last Synchronization shows the last date and time that a synchronization was attempted.
3. The Status shows the status of the last synchronization (it will either be SUCCESSFUL or FAILED).
4. The Next Synchronization shows the date and time of the next scheduled synchronization.
You are all done. TimeForge will synchronize your data based on the needs of your restaurant, and will keep the data in TimeForge and in Micros POS communicating properly.
