Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for continuously monitoring the health of a point-of-sale (POS) device, at a central location, and executing self-healing software from the malfunctioning POS device. The self-healing software may be stored locally on the POS device itself, occupying a small footprint and therefore easily be stored in and execute on both older and newer POS devices. Embodiments further describe a central server as coordinating both identification of the particular self-healing process to execute on each POS device as well as the timing of execution associated therewith.

Point of sale register health monitoring

Devices, systems, methods, and computer program products for managing network access control with a build system are disclosed. The build system controls network filtering at retail stores based on identifiers of Point of Sale devices connected to the store's LAN (Local Area Network). This filtering places only authorized devices on a virtual LAN within the LAN that is reserved for POS terminals. The network access control is managed by a process built into the build system.
