Edge synchronizer

Edge Synchronizer Client

Selling in a physical store is critical, and internet disruptions can be costly. Edge computing addresses this by enabling local data processing and failover.

The Hii Retail Edge Synchronizer client is a library for synchronizing master data entities between the cloud and in-store systems. It can run on a server, POS, or any capable in-store computer, or as part of a dedicated Edge Computing solution.

The client synchronizes with the cloud, transferring delta changes in near real-time. Data is stored locally and events are triggered for custom handling, supporting offline and failover scenarios.

Stores can use local or cloud endpoints as primary, with failover as needed.

Example: Existing Transformation Service​

Edge Synchronizer Client Implementation

The Edge Synchronizer Client can be embedded in a new or existing edge transformation service. It synchronizes with Hii Retail Cloud, saving data locally and emitting events for further processing.

The transformation service must convert data to the required local format and maintain relationships or validations for legacy systems.

Example: Avassa Edge Computing​

Edge Synchronizer Client Edge implementation

Avassa provides Edge Computing devices for Extenda Retail. Edge devices can be managed and updated from Hii Retail Cloud, allowing stores to failover between local and cloud endpoints as needed.
