The DataWorks - accesso Siriusware Connection

Over 15 years ago, DataWorks and Siriusware teamed up to develop an extremely stable and robust interface to replace Gateway and Micros at Ripley’s Entertainment properties around the country. The DataWorks and accesso Siriusware systems work together seamlessly to empower Retail operations with the tools to manage complex procurement and replenishment needs. With DataWorks dedicated retail system interfaced to the accesso Siriusware POS system, accesso clients can benefit from DataWorks’ capabilities used in Zoos, Aquariums, Museums and Amusement Parks. Our system’s features such as warehouse management, AI-enabled replenishment, advanced budgeting analytics, and mobile workflow, will improve your decision-making, reporting, and bottom line performance.

The customers we share with accesso Siriusware have been extremely satisfied with our systems. In fact, we receive the fewest Support calls from DataWorks-accesso clients, and have some of the longest standing relationships with those same clients. Together, we’ve shared in the success of our mutual customers, especially that of Ripley’s Entertainment. To quote the Director of Retail Operations for Ripley’s Entertainment, “The number one thing about DataWorks: incredible Customer Support. The best of all our Vendors. The Second thing: The reports. Unbelievable how many options and capabilities you have."

DataWorks System Flexibility

The DataWorks system is designed to flex both for you and with you, whether you’re a single facility or a multisite enterprise. Clients have the option to choose among separate, targeted modules for solutions that reflect their particular business scenario. It is not uncommon for clients to mix and match modules over time to extend or change capabilities. Our enterprise solution allows management and others to view inventory information from single locations, kiosks, stores and warehouses, or to view all corporate retail inventory data as a whole. DataWorks can easily interface to multiple POS systems, multiple currencies and multiple languages at each location.
