A transmission device (300) comprising a data cache system is provided with a data acquisition part (315) for acquiring volume data indicating the volume of transactionable products or services transmitted from a server. The transmission device (300) is provided with a saving part (320) for saving the acquired volume data in an information memory (390) as cache data, and a request acquisition part (330) for acquiring requests seeking volume output. The transmission device (300) is provided with a determination part (350) for determining whether or not the cache data is valid based on the elapsed time from when the cache data was received or saved and the volume indicated by the cache data, when a request is acquired. When the determination is that the cache data is invalid, the data acquisition part (315) receives new volume data from the server, and the saving part (320) saves the new volume data as new cache data in the information memory (390).
