Onboarding Process - Roles and Flow
This page provides an overview of the roles and responsibilities involved in the fiskaltrust onboarding process. Implementing a fiscalization system requires collaboration between PosCreators, PosDealers, and PosOperators.
Understanding how these roles interact helps ensure a compliant and efficient rollout:
- PosCreators: Develop and maintain POS software integrations with the fiskaltrust Middleware. They use the portal to manage POS systems and invite PosDealers to distribute their solutions.
- PosDealers: Distribute, configure, and deploy fiscalization solutions by combining software and hardware. They manage customer onboarding, support PosOperators, and use portal tools to streamline compliance deployments.
- PosOperators: As the end-users (merchants), they use the POS system in their daily business while fiskaltrust Middleware handles fiscal compliance in the background. PosDealers typically serve as their primary contact for sales, deployment, and support.
