Polling/File Transfer
In retail, timing is everything.
Getting information from your stores to head office quickly and accurately is essential. CCi's FileSync, an innovative software module, transfers data between your head office and remote locations with high speed performance. Written using Microsoft's strategic .NET technology, FileSync gives retailers speedy access to organization-wide data. Retailers of all sizes, including Laura Ashley (300+ stores), BC Liquor (300+ stores), The Bargain Shop! (100+ stores) and Linen Chest (7 stores), are already realizing the benefits of FileSync's high speed data transfer capabilities.
FileSync runs as a Windows NT, 2000 or XP service, integrated with your operating system. Simple to install and easy to maintain, FileSync is fully web-enabled, which means that all information management can be controlled from your head office server or via remote Web console.
