Modular All-in-One POS

Florence

Your modules. Your setup. Your POS. It’s up to you: modernize your existing system or implement a completely new POS experience. Flexible. Process-oriented. Florence.

The last terminal you replace whole.

The next upgrade is a module, not a system swap.

Four reasons POS systems get replaced too early.

Four patterns routinely lead to POS hardware being replaced while most of it is still working. They share the same root cause - and that is exactly what the Florence architecture addresses.

Many sites, no common standard

What works at one site does not fit the next: different counter, different peripherals, different requirement. Standardising across a large estate fails on the exceptions.

Fixed ports, changing needs

The port layout is locked in at the time of order. Add a device that does not fit and the only options are a hub under the counter or a new system.

Ports left openly accessible

On conventional devices the interfaces stay openly accessible even when mounted - with no port control and no record of who connected what.

One device, one replacement date

The entire device is written off although the larger part of it would still carry its duty. That is capital leaving the asset base early.

What is rigid ages as a whole

That is why Florence is built modular - a patent-pending connector system instead of a sealed enclosure.

See the principle

Three layers you can replace one at a time.

A conventional all-in-one is a single block with a single service life. Florence breaks that block into three layers - joined by a patent-pending connector system, each one individually configurable and individually renewable. What that means in comparison is set out under each card.
That is the real difference: you do not pay for ports that are never used, and you are not locked into a configuration that was right three years ago. With Florence, expansion is a single action rather than a procurement project.

Display

The longest-lived layer. It is not tied to the computer behind it - so the hardware generation does not decide how long a display stays at the station.

Florence Box

The fastest-ageing layer. Because compute lives here and nowhere else, a generation change is a Box swap - and touches no other layer.

Brick Hub

The most frequently changing layer. That is why it is the freely configurable one: ports follow the workstation, not an order placed three years ago.

Four situations where the whole system would otherwise go.

Modularity is not an end in itself. It pays off in specific moments - usually the ones the procurement plan never accounted for.

A new payment terminal has to reach every checkout

Renew the part. Not the terminal.

In most cases the whole terminal is replaced on the shortest cycle inside it. Because the three Florence layers are independent, each carries its own cycle - and what gets renewed is what is actually spent.

Upgrade one part

The rest of the system stays in service - and on the asset register.

One certified base

The ISV-certified driver base persists across hardware changes - the software does not have to be tested again.

One spare parts list

Every configuration draws on the same components - no matter how many variants are in the field.

What a configuration actually looks like.

An example: a weighing station in food retail with scanner, scale, receipt printer, cash drawer and one legacy serial device. The Main Brick is given, three option modules are added - and one slot stays free for later.

A display outlives a processor. Let it.

A checkout station is not judged on a datasheet but at the counter: when something is plugged in, when something fails, during a shift. Three consequences of the modular architecture that make the difference in operation.

Plug in without hunting

Scanner, scale, printer, cash drawer: every port sits in the Brick Hub, within reach of the operator. No feeling around behind the device, no pulling it out of the counter.

Swap one part, don’t clear the station

If the computer fails, the Box is lifted off and replaced - display, ports and cabling stay in the counter. The workstation does not have to be dismantled and set up again.

No fan drawing in grease and dust

The Box is passively cooled. At counters with flour, grease or dust there is no fan to clog - and on the sales floor no running noise beside the operator.

Every figure, no registration.
