The present invention relates to a store operating system, and in particular, in the conventional point of sale (POS) operating system, the manual processing step for the processing of sales in the process of sales and merchandise ordering / ordering between stores, operators and suppliers is omitted as a whole. The present invention relates to a new type of store operation management system that simplifies the process of processing and facilitates product inventory management because the order / ordering process between stores, operators, and suppliers is mutually processed.

1 is a schematic system configuration diagram of a conventional POS operation system. As shown here, a typical POS operating system has a sales floor equipped with a device called a personal digital assistant (PDA) or a window system. If a customer purchases an item at the sales floor, Sales are processed.

The store server has at least one POS server (POS1, POS2) and other business servers and web servers. The store server receives and processes the sales information transmitted from the business store through wireless LAN equipment through the devices in the store server connected to each other through an internal LAN network.

The work server in the store server is connected to the head office system (server) and a high speed communication network (for example, ADSL network). The headquarters system includes the RIS system (server) in charge of the overall system operation, the free gift system (server) performing the gift-related information processing, and the gift certificate system (server) performing the gift certificate information processing.

On the other hand, POS servers in the store server are involved in the credit card information processing and payment processing in conjunction with Lotte Card and VAN.

FIG. 2 is a detailed system configuration diagram of FIG. 1. As shown in the figure, POS transactions occur in the store. An access point represents a wireless network device for a wireless transaction. The POS server in FIG. 1 specifically includes a dual mode, that is, the POS server includes a main frame and a card approval interface module. In addition, there is a sales transaction log collection unit that collects data on all contents of the sales transaction process.
