Data Exchange with Showrooms and DC  | Day end data from Showrooms and DC are brought to ValueCenterPRO | | ValueCenterPRO provides a Communication Center Module which handles all the communication between ValueCenterPRO and the software running at the retail outlets (SHOPER or ValueShopPRO) and distribution centers (SHOPER or ValueWarePRO). Depending on the type of connectivity available each location in the chain can communicate with ValueCenterPRO through Email, or FTP or manual transfer and upload of data created at remote locations. | | Automated Data Loading: The data thus brought in are loaded in to ValueCenterPRO automatically without any need for manual activities or intervention. This aspect is very crucial for any chain that has more than even a hand full of outlets. The automatic data loading involves auto-distinguishing of the type of data available, carrying out the necessary validation and storing in the central database. | | Automatic Error Recovery: When different data from multiple locations using with different software are brought in, validated and loaded there will always be possibility of errors creeping in. These errors could be due to communication line condition, software malfunction or operational errors at the remote locations. For all data received from remote locations, one can set-up built in redundancy of data transfer which will be sensed by ValueCenterPRO. Whenever there are errors ValueCenterPRO automatically attempts recovery from the redundant back-up communication waiting till the same arrives. Only in situation of errors remaining even after loading redundant back-up, the same is brought to operator attention for intervention and re-creation of remote data | ^ Top ^ |
