How it works
From your registers to one dashboard, in three moves.
No rip-and-replace. DataHelm sits beside the POS you already run and does the translating, so you don't have to.
Connect a lightweight agent
A small agent installs next to each location's POS. It reads changes only — it never writes back. It works with a local POS database directly, or polls a cloud POS's API (Square today). Enrollment is a one-time, single-use token.
Map the schema — and approve it
If a POS uses a layout DataHelm doesn't recognize, its AI proposes how to translate each column into one shared model, with confidence scores. An admin reviews and approves; financial mappings require two different admins. Every mapping is versioned — nothing is applied automatically.
See every location in one place
Transactions stream in continuously — revenue, volume, payment mix, agent status, per location. Every chart shows its source and last-synced time, and the current day is marked partial so in-progress numbers are never mistaken for final.
What happens under the hood
A simple, one-way path from your register to your dashboard. Data flows out; nothing flows back into your POS.
On-prem agent
reads changes, hashes PII, buffers offline
Secure gateway
TLS + token auth, validates events
Ingestion
maps schema, writes to ClickHouse
Postgres + ClickHouse
records + fast analytics
Your dashboard
one live view of every site
Offline-safe by design
Lose connectivity and the agent keeps a local queue, then replays in order when it reconnects. No sale is dropped while a location is offline.
Nothing disappears quietly
If an event can't be processed, it goes to a dead-letter queue and is surfaced to admins for review — never silently discarded.
