About CDS

Since its introduction in 1992, customers have voted with their pocket books and made POSSix™ the P.O.S. workhorse of choice in package stores from Manteo to Murphy, from Wilmington to Blowing Rock.  And POSSix™ just got better.

We have built this company around our partnership with the North Carolina ABC Boards and the custom-built software, hardware & services designed especially for them. Our trademark point-of-sale software package, NXGenPOSSix™ and our flagship back-office solution, ABC/BOSS™, were created by our engineering team with our customers in mind. After all, who for nearly two decades, has learned the ins and outs of just what our ABC Boards and stores do on a day-to-day basis and how they need it done to the extent of our dedicated engineers.

The “Classic State” is not enough when it comes to computers.

POSSix™, the pioneering, PC-based point-of-sale system for ABC boards, made its grand entrance in 1992. Over the years, it won the confidence of its users and became the P.O.S. solution of choice for most of N.C.'s package stores.

In its classic state, the ABC-specific capabilities of POSSix™ can't be matched by traditional ECR's or generic PC-based systems. But the "classic state" isn't enough when it comes to the world of computers. That's why we developed the next generation -- NXgen POSSix™.

NXgen POSSix™ is the POSSix™ you already know, but on a grander scale!

In order to take advantage of rapidly emerging leaps forward in hardware, operating system and networking technologies, the time was ripe to re-invent POSSix™ on a grander scale. And this lofty objective is precisely

"NXgen POSSix™... is compatible with a stunning array
of off-the-shelf peripherals..."


Like its phenomenally successful namesake, NXgen POSSix™ was custom-developed to run on standard Intel-compatible personal computers and is compatible with a stunning array of off-the-shelf peripherals, ranging from remote customer displays to multi-mode scanners.

NXgen POSSix™ combines time-tested code with the promise of the future.

Thanks to the open architecture of the platform on which it is integrated, NXgen POSSix™ will be able to adapt to the never-ending parade of faster and better processors, storage devices and other computer components that roll out of Silicon Valley. So it's path to the future is secure.
 

"Amidst all the changes... some very important
basics remain the same."


Amidst all the changes, however, some very important basics remain the same. At the heart of NXgen POSSix™ are the stable and powerful POSSix™ core applications. These rock-solid programs are based on code that has been undergoing continuous refinement since 1992.

Custom Designed to Seamlessly Move Data

NXgen POSSix™ was not derived from a generic "canned" application designed for convenience stores or other general retail environments. It was conceived with ABC stores in mind and was written from scratch to provide controls, perform functions and generate reports that make it a truly custom solution.

NXgen POSSix™ "...was conceived with ABC stores in
mind and was written from scratch to provide...
a truly custom solution."

Add the Communications and Messaging Module to seamlessly link the store by modem to the ABC/BOSS™ office system. Extend this ability to capture and integrate data to the store's shelves and back room with the optional Symbol Hand-held Computer with built-in scanner.
