POS and Other Data Stores
=========================
TODO
Rattail is able to read from and/or write to various other data stores, for
example:
* POS systems
* any SQL DB
* any web API
* Excel, CSV etc.
When we say that "Rattail is able" to do this, really we mean that all the
building blocks are there already and implementing specific import/export logic
should require minimal effort. In some cases a "common" e.g. POS system may be
well-supported out of the box.
Supported POS Systems
---------------------
The following POS systems are considered well-supported. Integration packages
for each are continually being developed. However the nature of integrations
possible with each of these will vary:
* CORE-POS
* ECRS Catapult
* LOC SMS
These systems are not well-supported but have received some amount of attention
in the past, so are not entirely unknown:
* CAM32
* Revel
* ScanMaster
