Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail POS — bank compatibility

Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail is a point-of-sale system for retail, built by Open Systems Technology. The vendor is real and still trading — as a local government ERP house, not a retail POS one.

Certified on Linkly, running on premise. Linkly reaches more acquirers than any other middleware in the market, which is why most POS start there.

The Linkly integration runs on premise.

Open Systems Technology Pty Ltd is an Adelaide company with an ABN active since January 2000, registered in the CBD at 131 Carrington St with around 11 staff. In May 2019 it registered the business name CouncilFirst, and its old ost.com.au domain now redirects to councilfirst.com.au, where the footer is explicit: CouncilFirst is a division of Open Systems Technology Pty Ltd. It is a Microsoft Dynamics shop — WALGA's preferred supplier directory records CouncilFirst as built on Microsoft Dynamics and describes the company as a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.

Here is the part that matters for this record. What it actually sells is cloud ERP for Australian local government: records, financial management, procurement, payroll, property and rates, and a customer request system. It says it has worked exclusively with local government for over a decade and its published case studies are regional Western Australian councils. A Microsoft Dynamics AX for Retail label against this vendor does not describe the business as it trades today. If you are a retailer being pointed here you are in the wrong place; if you are a council, the counter in question is the one at the civic centre.
