Overview

Skywire POS posts sales transactions to Yellow Dog’s API for a one-way integration of F&B sales data.

Sync Approach

Skywire POS pushes transaction data to Yellow Dog. 

The Integration consists of two elements: 

  • Skywire’s processes to post sales. 

  • Yellow Dog’s Process Sales Application to process transactions provided by Skywire in order to deplete inventory

Sync Frequency 

  • The push of data is controlled by SkyWire and can be configured to run every 15 minutes, every 4 hours, hourly or daily. 

  • Yellow Dog’s Process Sales Application will be scheduled to run hourly by default.

Configuration Options:

  • Multiple instances of Skywire to a single Yellow Dog database is supported, though this has not been tested.

  • Multiple Revenue Centers to one Yellow Dog store is not supported in this integration.

Requirements

POS Partner

  • Skywire is responsible for configuring and scheduling the integration.

  • For F&B Items, Skywire generates an ExternalID for the items on their side as part of their implementation processes and populates ItemNumber in their Transaction posts to Yellow Dog's Fetch API.
