Retail & QSR: locked-down endpoints at every location.
POS lanes, back-office PCs, and order kiosks stay uniform and secure across hundreds of sites, updated centrally and reset clean between shifts.
Hundreds of sites, no IT staff, cardholder data everywhere.
Every store and restaurant runs POS lanes, order kiosks, and a back-office PC, with no technician on site. Devices drift, get tampered with by staff and customers, and handle cardholder data that turns each location into PCI scope. Pushing updates and keeping the fleet uniform across hundreds of sites is a constant battle, and a single compromised endpoint can put the whole estate at risk.
The pressure points in distributed retail.
PCI scope on every device
Cardholder data flows through endpoints with no one watching them.
Drift across sites
Hundreds of locations slowly diverge from the standard build.
No on-site IT
A drifted or broken device means a dispatch or a downed lane.
Shift-to-shift residue
Logins and activity carry over between staff on shared machines.
Uniform, stateless endpoints across the estate.
Identical everywhere
Every POS, kiosk, and back-office PC boots the same verified image.
Reset between shifts
Each session ends clean, no carried-over data or drift.
Smaller PCI footprint
Endpoints retain no cardholder data at rest to protect or audit.
Push from one console
Update or repurpose any device at any site from Switchboard.
Build consistency across all locations.
When every device boots the same baseline, every site is the same site.
Multi-site retail IT, answered.
Does this reduce PCI scope?+
It shrinks the device-level footprint: endpoints keep no cardholder data at rest, so there's nothing on the machine to encrypt, monitor, or lose. Your overall PCI obligations remain, but the endpoint stops being a place data accumulates.
How do we manage stores with no IT staff?+
You don't send anyone. Provisioning, updates, lockdown, and recovery all happen centrally from Switchboard, the device fixes itself on the next clean boot.
Will it run our POS and kiosk software?+
Yes. ZeroCore runs your authorized POS and ordering workloads locally and statelessly.
“Every lane in every store boots the same image. One build, hundreds of sites, no truck rolls.”
