Power & Connectivity Challenges in Remote Locations
Running a business on Cambodia’s remote islands such as Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloem comes with unique challenges. While these areas now have access to electricity, power can still be unreliable. Internet connections, whether Wi-Fi or 4G, can also be patchy or slow.
For food and beverage venues, hotels, and retail outlets, this makes choosing a POS system that works offline essential to keeping operations running smoothly.
POS That Works Without Internet
A key benefit of a SambaPOS system from POSFlow is that it continues to function even when there’s no internet. Orders can still be placed, payments processed, and receipts printed without any online connection. Once internet service is restored, data is automatically synced, including sales records and backups.
Printing Still Works Without Internet
Many business owners believe that if the Wi-Fi goes down, printing will also stop. This isn’t the case. As long as your router or network switch is still powered, your POS will still connect to printers on the local network. The only limitation is that cloud-based services (like online orders) won’t work until internet access returns.
Protecting Your System from Power Cuts
For areas with frequent generator power cycles or outages, we recommend using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). This small device gives your POS hardware a few extra minutes of power during an outage, allowing you to safely shut down the system. It also helps protect your POS and printers from power surges that can damage electronics.
Reliable Backups Even in Remote Areas
Under our POSFlow support package, we take hourly backups of your POS database. If the internet is down, the backup process will resume automatically when connectivity returns. This ensures you never lose critical sales or inventory data.
Keeping Businesses Running with Loan POS Hardware
If your POS machine ever fails, our support package usually includes providing a temporary loan machine. This means your business can keep running while repairs or replacements are arranged—vital for locations where getting new equipment takes time.
