We are updating Cloud POS, here are the details of what  to expect from this release:

POS 2.0 Transition Complete

Following a successful transition period allowing access to both POS 1 and POS 2.0 for training and feedback purposes, we're now removing access to POS 1 as we fully embrace the new POS 2.0 user interface and all the benefits it has to offer. 

Expanded SIM Import Functionality  *Requested by users via our Feedback Forum*

We've broadened the scope of our SIM import functionality, facilitating a smoother setup process for your items within Cloud POS.

Users with appropriate access levels can now import items from SIM across various key areas in both the Back Office and the POS, including the Item Search, Advanced Item Search, Purchase Order Item Search, and POS Item Search.

This enhancement streamlines the SIM item import process, eliminating the need for users to first identify whether an item exists and then navigate to the SIM basket for searching. 

We've simplified the SIM import by removing the requirement to select a supplier before importing items.

Ability to send images via text message. *Requested by users via our Feedback Forum*

In response to popular demand, we've added the ability to send image links via text message directly through POS and the Workshop Module. Simply upload your chosen image and we will generate a link to include in your message. 

Options to convert quotes expanded  *Requested by users via our Feedback Forum*

Based on user requests, we've removed restrictions for converting quotes to different order types. Quotes can now be converted directly to Workshop Jobs and Layaways.
