It is intuitive and app-like, enabling efficient transaction flows across fixed checkout points or mobile service points on the shop floor. Cygnus operates in an offline mode when needed, syncing real-time customer, stock, loyalty, accounts, orders, and gift-card data when connectivity returns. It supports omnichannel loyalty, displaying cross-channel purchase history and reward balances at the till, so operators can advise customers during checkout.
