Stand Alone Location or Multi-Location

MeT can be set-up as a stand-alone store or as a part of a multi stores system.

In a multi location environment, each system can be run independently from each other but share some information or they can be run as several SALES location with consolidated back office (accounting) functions. A consolidation module can also be set-up to run business wide (across locations) reports. 

On-site or Hosted 

MeT can be installed and run from PCs at your location (usually between 2 and 8 computers and you are responsible for backup and maintenance) OR MeT can be hosted by one of ISD-AI partners on a high-end server running Microsoft Terminal Server. To be able to use the Hosted solution, the only “Must have” are a reliable high-speed connection to the Internet from your store and a VPN router. Up-to-date hardware is not as critical and can be replaced by win terminals. With this solution, ISD-AI Ltd takes care of the server maintenance (including backup) and your cost for hardware is cut by up to 50%.

Support

If requested, ISD-AI Ltd. can source your hardware and have the systems shipped to you already fully configured and ready to go, or, a technician can be dispatched to your site to take care of the installation of your system and spend a few days to train your staff. Once your system has been installed, you will be provided with a detailed manual that will cover the functions of MeT and should answer most of your question on how to use the system.

For your day-to-day operation, ISD-AI Ltd. offers phone and on-line support. Our skilful technicians will answer questions, walk you through the steps required to solve the problem or fix the problem by accessing your system over PC Anywhere (phone or Internet).
