I would suggest using Flash MX and ColdFusion MX together and build a rich client environment. The trick is to get POS input devices to send data to the client's browser...it should be like a regular keyboard however. But running over an intranet/extranet this application should be very fast. Plus you could build a POS screen that when it idles it shows pretty advertisements.
Sounds like a cool project. -Ali Daniali -----Original Message----- From: Benoit Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 5:27 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: ddevlopping a POS system using CF ?? we are to develop a Point Of Sale (POS) system and I was wondering if CF can be the right tool to do that. There would be about 70 POS units pulling the data from the same database for inventory and accounting purposes. Of course, this system has to be fast and the sale has to be done very quickly (not like most of the e-commerce websites with shopping cart etc...). Has anyone developped such a system using CF? Are there any reasons why I shouldn't use or could use CF?
