Details of the Cloud POS release due to go live July 2021 - 

Transaction speed improvements

We have been working to improve the speed of transactions in the POS, this includes Order creation, updates & pickups as well as standard Transactions, Account Payments and Drops. 

 The changes have resulted in an average of a 37% improvement in speed across of all these processes.

 Alongside this work, we have added automated tests for over 700 transaction scenarios, which is another step towards increasing our release cadence.

Important background work – New UI

 We continue to complete background work to allow us to process more transactions to grow our capabilities alongside our retailer’s growth.  As we come to the end of this process we will be starting work on the new Cloud POS UI, with the POS itself being the first piece of the puzzle!
