A Point-of-Sale (PoS) system is crucial for any modern business, serving as an integrated platform for managing sales, inventory, and customer data. These systems handle a high volume of sensitive information, including credit card details and transaction records, making secure payment processing one of their most critical functions.

Traditional methods can no longer keep up with the demands of businesses that require secure, resilient, and efficient IoT solutions. Businesses need the ability to make data-driven decisions and enhance overall security, which is where advanced IoT-powered POS solutions come in.

Through advanced features such as routing policies and edge network capabilities, Stacuity offers a comprehensive solution for businesses seeking secure and compliant transmission of payment data. Whether this be at remote EV charging stations, a vending machine or self-serve kiosk, Stacuity provides an advanced and resilient connectivity offering.

Security is a critical component of PoS activity and with Stacuity’s data routing policies users can self-configure how data from a single endpoint/SIM/eSIM is routed. Businesses can route sensitive PoS data directly over private networks, completely bypassing the public Internet where needed.

This also allows you to restrict access solely to authorised payment processing systems, effectively mitigating the risk of data breaches and unauthorised access to critical payment information.

With traditional Network Operators their engineers are often required to configure specific packet routing requirements. This is both costly, time consuming and typically requires a separate APN. Through the power of our VSlice and Routing Policy features this requirement is removed, with customers able to to configure routing changes in real-time through the Stacuity portal or via our full-featured API.

This is the same for all of Stacuity’s features, with providers and end-customers able to access, control and configure their connectivity via our white label, multi-tenant portal, or a full open API.

Connectivity arrangements can be established with your preferred operator or through Stacuity’s integrated Operators at wholesale rates. This also includes the capability to create data bundles for end customers, enabling you to benefit from data breakage. These bundles can be actively managed in real time by the tenant via our portal, and access to real-time billing information is available.

Stacuity customers gain granular visibility and control over their connectivity in real-time. This includes network event notifications, alerting you of any issues across your network in real-time. From a PoS perspective these alerts may include connectivity issues (e.g. loss of payment processor connection), a hardware issue (e.g. card reader tampering, touchscreen unresponsiveness) or security concerns (e.g. multiple failed login attempts).

These network events which are typically only visible to the operator, allows businesses to proactively address issues and minimise potential downtime. 

In addition, Stacuity also has a real-time packet capture feature. Pinpoint issues between PoS terminals, servers, and payment gateways and download the packet capture directly into your preferred analysis tool.

Stacuity offers a unique capability which enables fully secure access to any web-enabled device (such as a PoS terminal), providing web and SSH access. PoS terminals can be updated, configured and troubleshooted all remotely, reducing the requirement for engineer site visits.

This feature also utilises dynamic and secure network routing, removing the need for a fixed IP address from devices. This significantly reduces the attack surface, minimising the risk of cyber attacks and enhancing security.

With enterprises facing increased data regulations, Stacuity provides a cost-effective, headache free solution. Through our globally distributed managed edge network of packet gateways, Stacuity enables local breakout, ensuring data compliance whilst also optimising performance due to reduced latency.

The Stacuity platform delivers resilient global connectivity with multi IMSI solutions available. Our Operator Policy feature allows you to select your preferred network based on the criticality of your use case and desired backup. This means your SIM cards can be steered onto multiple networks, providing an automatic failover if your primary network experiences an outage, ensuring continuous operation.
