Remote agent for instant POS hardware diagnostics
Remote workers building retail POS systems face nightmares in customer onboarding and hardware troubleshooting, driving high churn rates.
PosDiag deploys a lightweight agent to customer machines for real-time hardware scans, network tests, and peripheral detection. Builders trigger diagnostics remotely, get live logs, and apply fixes via scripts. This eliminates guesswork in troubleshooting, cutting resolution time by 80% and churn.
