      About

        • Flexinet is one of the many External Systems that Bepoz can integrate with via our native CALink application
          • We can integrate with both the Flexinet and Flexinet SP systems
        • While there are some differences between supported functionality of the different systems, features that are supported include the following:
          • Importing Account data with options the update and/or create matching Account records in the local database
          • Tiering (Account Group Creation)
          • Points Earn & Redeem
          • File-Based Account Imports (Flexinet only)
          • API-Based Account Imports (Flexinet SP only)
        • The Flexinet CALink Gaming Interface requires setup in BackOffice and configuration within the CALink application to communicate with the gaming system
        • The Export Flexinet Accounts Scheduled Job that allows to export Flexinet accounts into a datafile
        • The Import Flexinet Members Scheduled Job that allows to import Flexinet members from the sql database
        • Flexinet also supports a "Ticket-In, Ticket-Out" system where the gaming machines can print a special Ticket with a monetary value on it
          • This ticket is then redeemable at the Gaming Cashier or can be inserted into another gaming machine
          • While not directly related to the CALink setup and functionality, this has been added to this User Guide for comprehensiveness
