Introduction
SoftSDC turns a Windows or Android device into an accredited TaxCore fiscal device. Learn what it does, who it is for, and where to start.
SoftSDC is an application for point of sale (POS) devices. It turns non-fiscal invoices into fiscal ones.
You install SoftSDC on a Windows PC or an Android phone or tablet. The device then works as an E-SDC (Electronic Sales Data Controller) inside the TaxCore fiscal system. Your POS sends invoice data to SoftSDC. SoftSDC signs it with the smart card issued by your Tax Authority and reports it.
You need a smart card reader
SoftSDC reads the Tax Authority smart card through a card reader. The reader can be built into the device or connected over USB.
