I used to be in the POS/retail industry back in the 90's. I still have an old website active so that I can support any of my old customers if they need it (although the software itself will never be updated).
Anyway, long story short, I occasionally get email from people who have visited my site. They usually want to know about downloading demos but today I got an email from someone who is looking for someone to develop some software for them. They're based in South Africa. Here's the email I received:
We require programme/software for a smart safe we are designing utilizing a bill validator , printer and key pad or touch screen ,etc.
Can you do ?
We represent +/- 500 independent retailers locally and are also involved in manufacture of safes.
We intend using MEI & Cashcode validators , Epsom printers etc
We need to keep track of monies deposited , the depositor , time & date , daily recons. , the usual.
Can you do ??? I replied to the guy that I'm no longer in that business, and he asked if I could refer anyone. I'm not 100% sure if he's looking for someone to develop the software for them or if he's looking for some existing software that will accomplish what he needs. So, if anyone out there is interested in this, please either PM or email me and I can give you the guy's email, etc.
