Imonggo is configured as a POS system as well as a web-based retail management solution.[buzzword][6] It allows retailers to manage hundreds of stores and inventory as well as providing sales analysis and business intelligence.[7] Imonggo allows stores to create multiple users as well as business subsidiaries. The software also has a hack-proof SSL encryption to protect data. It also uses several servers in different geographical areas to back up data in order to ensure that no business data for a company is lost or destroyed.[1] The software can also support peripherals such as barcode scanners, label printers, cash drawers, check readers, receipt printers and signature capture pads.[8]
