Components

Gizmo is not one program but several apps that work together. The main component is Gizmo Server: all the others connect to it.

Main components

Component	What it does	Where it runs	Who works with it
Gizmo Server	Processes operations, stores customer data and manages the other components	The club server	The administrator, during installation and maintenance

Gizmo Server works together with a database (PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server) that stores all club information: guest profiles, balances, prices, purchase history.
Gizmo Manager and all gaming PCs with Gizmo Client connect to Gizmo Server over the club network.
Gizmo Companion is installed on every point of sale, connects to the server and is linked to a register in Gizmo Manager. Without it, card payments and receipt printing are not available.
