Introduction:Wandapos is not what you think it is, it is more than that. Wandapos stable(unicenta iDempiere openbravo).Choosing a POS software for your business has to be a big task, it is not done by imitating orchoosing what others use at their frightening maintenance prices. Do you know that the leather Gucciuses to produce its leather shoes are also used by other shoe manufacturers to produce the sameleather shoe? But you might be wondering why the Gucci shoe is far more expensive than those of othermanufacturers? Well get it now! It is because Gucci is branded as being the Company that has/isdressing so many stars. Here, at Wandapos, we believe you will brand us, not because you are thebiggest company on earth, but because our product is better than others, as per the training andmaintenance prices. Yes only the training and maintenance prices, no buying price! Wandapos is free todownload. We received freely, so we are giving freely.

We freely give what others ask you to pay forYou see it for yourself. I provide this info because Wandapos gives those two buttons free free as in‘free lunch’. This functionality is packaged with the application even in Version 1.0!Now, iDempiere ERP was chosen for the sync becauseTThe code for the implementation of these buttons was written by Redhuan D. Oon.Wandapos does not just synchronize with any ERP. It does so with iDempiere ERP. An ERP as seen andpublished by Redhuan D. Oon, and published in his book titled ERPSoftware is;The right way of understanding a software is to understand not only what it is needed for but how it hasto be done. ERP has to follow these constraints and requirements:1. It has to do sound accounting transactions that are approved by auditors;2. It has to cover numerous departments of different roles within an organization;3. It has to cover numerous roles of users with different access authority;4. It has to carry processes and data across departments to satisfy different users;5. It has to be responsive when accessing voluminous data including archived ones of previous years;6. It has to present data in very well formatted user-friendly tone and design;7. It has to be secured from fraudulent practice and traceable to source documents;8. It has to interface with latest web technologies and external 3rd party applications;9. It has to be able to operate on different computers with different operating systems;10. It has to follow design of business and operational rules governing its data from different authoritiesbe they internal, external or regulatory;11. It has to allow changes to its behavior or model constantly or periodically as the case may be.Now, knowing what an ERP is and the advantages of using one, evaluating the benefits got from using itare outlined above.9

We are a fork of unicenta opos, so, imagine the functionalities we provideGet this information from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openbravo:Openbravo POS is a web-based Point-of-Sale (POS) application for retail and hospitality businesses. Theapplication came into existence called TinaPOS. For legal reasons the application was renamed toLibrePOS.[13] In 2007 LibrePOS was acquired by Openbravo and it is known by its current name. Theprogram is completely integrated into Openbravo's ERP application. Through this integration it ispossible to update stock levels, financial journals and customer data directly in the central databasewhen a POS sales is executed in the stores. Openbravo POS can be applied using PDAs for order intakeIn 2009, Unicenta forked Openbravo and nowadays, record so many downloads.Now, in 2014, WANDAPOS forked Unicenta. So, imagine the bugs we avoid, the community that willfollow us and the functionalities we provide.Here is a list of the functionalities that Wandapos provides:-Windows XP; Windows Vista; Windows 7; Windows 8; WePOS; Linux; Mac OSXExtensive peripheral support includes: Java POS; ESCPos; OPOS;Switchable/Mixable Retail, Restaurant and Store sales screensBar; Cafe; Leisure; Restaurant; Retailer; Supermarket; General Store; Lots more.Automatic screen resolution scaling from 800 x 600 upHighly User customizable Sales screen, Ticket and Receipt layoutsIdeal for mobile retailers POS / Pop-up type storesCustomers; Products; Inventory and Multi-Location managementApache Derby; MySQL; HSQLDB; PostgreSQL; Oracle databases and Cloud hosted databasesCategory Product ImportMultiple Printers Output to Kitchen Display monitors40 High Quality ReportsInternal Payment Gateways (US) and External terminal support - Chip and PinSupport FCFA (Central Africa (CEMAC) and West Africa (UEMOA)) MoneyBarcode scanner; Weighing Scales; Mag Card; Customer DisplayPowerful scripting languageMulti-Language - 15 languages Inc.'

We provide training at a very low prices11

Over the years, SAP has been regarded as the giant and king of POS and ERP solutions It is just afaçade the truth was published on the Wandapos website at www.wandaapos.com.SAP as a company has been very successful in the west, yes successful in providing a complex, expensiveand a hell of a software which is will not let business scale. SAP is growing every day in revenue yes butfailing every day in bringing proper business tools to millions of small and medium-sized companies inthe west.The Census bureau reports that companies with less than 100 employees account for 98% of the totalnumber of companies and represent over 35% of the active workforce in the USA. This number is biggereven in Germany. Most of these companies have no access to the right software to manage theirbusiness operations. SAP has always been to complex and too expensive for them. SAP has been unableto solve their problem in USA, Germany, Italy, and now like any other big company from the west, SAPhas stepped up its raid and violence into Africa. SAP has announced on its website that it is extending itsfootprint in Africa with 500 Million Investment. As other companies will do when they come to Africa itclaims it has a seven year plan to up-skill local African talent and drive innovation and growth on thecontinent, lies, lies, lies, before I get emotional SAP has been in Africa since 1992, its now SAP isrealizing that Africa needs innovation. The revenue derived from SAP's operation in Africa, does itremain in Africa or is transported back to the west? Answer me SAP! I met a young man in Cameroon'smountain city, Buea who did an SAP ERP training for 5000 Euros does and SAP is talking about a plan toskill-up Africa, what percentage of young Africans from Cameroon, Nigeria, Egypt etc., can afford forsuch a training for such a price? SAP according to me has betrayed its intention by the claim on skill-upyoung Africans. What about the cost of licenses, deployment and support? Africa's emerging economyis made up of mostly small and medium sized companies and they expect software which is affordableand intuitive, easy to be customized, requiring little or no training to use, or in the case where training isrequired, it should be affordable and there should be a possibility for the young Africans to "prosume"and add value to the software. SAP is closed and you either take it the way it is or leave it!Our claim is not that we have all the solutions for the emergence of the Africa and its dynamic young butunderemployed population. We claim to debunk the lies told Africa by giant companies like SAP andpropose a software business model which will sell our young, restless and talented at longer consultingyears and at higher value. We propose a software business model that will reverse the brain drain andsave our young Africans from always thinking of leaving for greener pastures either abroad or complexexpensive and non-scalable giant proprietary software like SAP which is increasing Africa's problem bythe capital flig
