Important Background Work

The Cloud POS development team are continuing to work hard to modernize the Cloud POS platform, this will allow the platform to scale as the number of users increases. Whilst doing this work, we're also adding integrated tests, in the future these will allow us to increase the release cadence of the product.

Once this first step of modernizing the platform is complete, we'll be working on a new, faster user interface and multi-language support.
