3rd party POS integration with Dynamics AX 2012 R2 Retail HQ

Hi,

I am interested in trying to understand the desired approach in trying to integrate a 3^rd party POS system with AX 2012 R2 Retail HQ.

My questions would be:

• What would be the desired / preferred / followed approach?
  • E.g. is getting the data into AX Store DB the desired approach and using std back end functionality from there?
  • E.g. is building bespoke AIF services the way to go?
• Based on the approach?
  • • Would direct sql data injection be the method? (SSIS into AX Retail Store DB)
    • Would using a API to build records in the AX Retail Store DB be a method?
    • Would building AIF ports be the way to go?

Other information:

• 100+ stores that need to be integrated
• Online store too
