Secure and Certified Storage for Retail, Hospitality and Services

Data Storage Solutions for fiscalization, transaction data signing, and long-term archiving

System manufacturers face growing challenges

POS systems must handle continuous transaction logging while meeting national fiscalisation and data-protection requirements across Europe. Developers and system architects need reliable performance for smooth checkout operations, while technical teams depend on long-term availability and consistent quality when deploying thousands of terminals across retail and hospitality environments.

POS system failures put compliance and trust at risk

A cash register failure during peak hours can result in lost or corrupted transaction data, broken audit trails, and regulatory penalties. In regulated markets, incomplete or tampered records undermine fiscal compliance and customer trust. Consumer-grade storage and software-only solutions reach their limits quickly under 24/7 POS workloads, increasing the risk of downtime and failed audits.

Secure, compliant storage for your systems lifetime

Swissbit delivers industrial-grade storage and fiscal security solutions for Retail, Hospitality and Services. The portfolio includes certified TSE modules, cloud- and hardware-based transaction signing for online or offline operation, and archival-grade memory with 10+ years of data retention. These solutions ensure secure transaction recording, long-term auditability, and reliable operation across large-scale retail deployments.

Critical Requirements for Data Storage

Cryptographic data signing & fiscal compliance
Swissbit provides hardware-based cryptographic data signing solutions that enable tamper-proof transaction logs and support fiscal compliance across different markets, without relying on software-only approaches.
Long-term data archiving for tax compliance
Swissbit archival-grade storage is designed for long-term data retention, combining high-quality flash memory with advanced error correction and power-fail protection. This ensures transaction data remains readable and compliant for audits many years after recording.
Continuous operation & high write endurance
Swissbit industrial-grade storage delivers significantly higher write endurance than regular storage. This enables reliable continuous operation throughout the full lifecycle of POS systems.
Fiscal compliance without local hardware constraints
Swissbit’s TSE cloud solution shifts fiscal data signing from the terminal to a secure, centralized cloud service. Transaction data is signed remotely in compliance with regulatory requirements, eliminating the need for local fiscal hardware. This reduces environmental risks at the POS, simplifies deployment and maintenance, and enables scalable compliance across large, distributed retail networks.
