Via the Spider software, vending machines with DIVA can be linked to any back office. The back office takes over the task of user and article management and thus also becomes a transaction-based reporting tool. The balances of the users can be administered centrally. This allows the use of any chip technology for payment at the vending machine. DIVA, DIVA2 and all reader products (LeX, DeLight) can be connected to the network via Ethernet.
This mode of operation provides the vending machine with functions that are otherwise only possible at the cash register. The possibilities of the back office determine the functionality at the vending machine (no longer the DIVA, or the payment system).
Vending machines that are not networked can be connected to the back office in the same way using the SpiderOffline tool.
Spider2 has been developed from scratch using the latest .NET technology, but still performs the same tasks as Spider v1.xx for vending machine networking with any background system. A completely new dashboard improves the overview of the connected automata and the state of the system. Existing monitoring systems of the customer can be docked via the built-in monitoring REST API. In addition, numerous improvements have been made in terms of robustness and usability.
Offline transactions can now be processed directly by the built-in Spider2 offline tool (data readout at the vending machine conveniently via NFC Mobile).
Compatibility: Because the ipayment API has been slightly modified, Spider2 is not compatible with Spider v1.xx and Spider offline. So use Spider2 only if the API has been adapted. Zucchetti's various backoffices use Spider2 exclusively.
