The Real Risk Isn’t the Hardware—It’s the Data Inside
Every time your POS rings up a sale, it captures more than just a transaction. It holds valuable customer information, pricing details, and store-level data that powers your entire business.
Now imagine losing that POS terminal—whether to theft, damage, or failure. The real loss isn’t the hardware. It’s the retail customer data sitting on that device.
That’s where iVend makes all the difference.
Why Retailers Need Built-In POS Security
Retail moves fast. But threats move faster.
Break-ins, hardware failure, power outages—these aren’t rare events. And with data privacy regulations tightening, even a small data leak can lead to big problems.
iVend Retail is designed to prevent that. It keeps your data safe, even when your hardware isn’t.
How iVend Keeps Your Data
At every store, iVend runs with a local database so you can keep selling, even if the internet goes down. While you’re operating locally, iVend is also syncing all store-level data to a secure central Enterprise Server—automatically and regularly.
Sales transactions, inventory updates, customer interactions, pricing, promotions—everything is continuously replicated to this central server. That means your store data is always backed up, and always protected.
With iVend, your business doesn’t pause. A new or repaired terminal can be connected and synced with the Enterprise Server in minutes. All your data—products, prices, open transactions—gets restored, with minimal effort and zero downtime.
Designed for Real Retail Operations
Unlike many POS systems that rely on manual backups or cloud-only storage, iVend gives you:
- Offline capability with local databases at every store
- Automatic data sync with your central server
- Built-in recovery without needing IT to start from scratch
If something goes wrong, your operations continue. You don’t lose customer data. And you don’t keep customers waiting at the checkout.
Secure by Design, Not Just by Policy
From day one, iVend was built with retail data protection at its core. The platform uses encrypted storage and secure connections to protect customer data—whether it’s sitting on a terminal, being transmitted, or stored in the cloud.
And because data is centralized, it’s easier for your team to stay audit-ready and meet compliance standards like PCI DSS.
Keep Selling, Even When Hardware Fails
iVend’s recovery tools are built into the system—not added on as an extra. So if a terminal goes offline, gets damaged, or disappears, your IT team can spin up a replacement without delay.
Once connected, the new POS syncs automatically with the central server, pulling back all the necessary data and getting the store back to full operation—fast.
There’s no panic, no chaos, and most importantly, no lost sales.
A POS System That Works for Your Business
With iVend Retail, POS security is always on. Whether you’re facing hardware theft, technical failure, or day-to-day retail challenges, your retail customer data stays protected and your stores stay operational.
