I'm on the category of people that haven't fully understood the 
requirements. Maybe because I do not have experience in this specific 
area, and also probably because I haven't read each email carefully.

But that's ok, because I want to talk in more general terms. You 
probably won't like the suggestion, though.

It seems that the system you have has become quite complex and its many 
components depend on each other in very specific ways. It has become 
something rather peculiar. Maybe it's not unique, maybe many retailers 
have similar systems, but they all depend on the same vendor or couple 
of vendors.

You now want to replace of the components, but since it's very dependent 
on the rest of the system, you are having a hard time finding a 
replacement. It's even difficult to describe the requirements, because 
it's something really unusual.

So: have you considering replacing the whole system?

Sure, in the short term it will be costly.

It'll be difficult, and cause disruptions. The users will have to be 
trained in the new system, productivity will decrease a little until 
they get proficient in it, there might be the need for some downtime, etc.

So I totally understand that what I'm proposing is not something easy to 
ask. But given that the difficulty you are having in replacing this one 
component will likely be repeated when some other part needs to be 
changed, I do not think it's entirely unreasonable that this option is 
studied.
