How Do I Install TimeForge with Micros Point of Sale?
TimeForge can integrate with many different Point of Sale systems, including Micros RES 4.x. RES 4 is the point of sale system supplied with many of the Micros 3700 hardware, and is a very popular POS system for both restaurant and retail companies.
TimeForge integration with Micros involves installing the TimeForge Micros Bridge software on the primary computer system that also has 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 – stopping employees from clocking in too early or clocking out too late. You can forecast sales and inventory needs using TimeForge and your Micros sales data.
