Communications with a central database

FrontBoutique can communicate with a central database, managed with ICGManager, in two different ways:

• In real time: The store is connected online with the database of the Headquarter. All movements generated by a chain of stores are updated and displayed in real time on the same database. It is the only recommended way if you want to check stocks and amounts outstanding of all the shops in any of them.

• Delayed time: The store has its own database. When doing cash closing, it exports automatically sales and other transactions to Headquarter. The items and price changes made by the Headquarter are also regularly imported.
