System
Security
Password security is another important feature of Windward System Five - Hearth, Barbecue, Pool and Spa POS. Each
user is issued a password, and all matters of the system can be controlled
by the security level. Access privileges can be controlled for each
function allowing even the least trained staff access to the information
they need to do their job while denying them access to confidential
or critical information.
For example, users can be set-up to allow them to perform front-end
functions, such as invoicing, and inventory inquiries, but they can
be kept out of the general ledger and payables. Users can be authorized
to view, but not edit information. Similar password set-up screens
are available for payables, ledger and inventory control by clicking
on the appropriate tags.
Data
Security
Data security is an important topic. Unfortunately, it is often overlooked.
There are two aspects to data security. One is password access and
allowing certain people to only do certain jobs. The other involves
the actual data stored on the hard drive.
Windward System Five - Hearth, Barbecue, Pool and Spa POS provides many tools for recovering from a crash. Often,
these tools can allow you to continue from where you left off, instead
of having to re-enter the days work. We offer a layered approach
to
data security. That is, we don't have just one method, but several
different methods that overlay each other; if one fails, the other
will often catch it.
Audit Trails
Windward includes the best of two worlds. If you make a mistake,
you can easily edit and correct the invoices, payments, bills or
checks. To protect the store, all transactions are posted to a secure
audit trail that will report the date, time, terminal number, user,
invoice number, customer name and the dollar amount for each transaction.
This gives you both the ability to fix mistakes and help prevent
fraud.
