As a part of Manhattan’s cloud-native point of sale, the store app has been refreshed to handle the instability that is common of store network connectivity with elegance. With a focus on simplicity, the app monitors network connection stability and takes action in the background to insulate the associate from everything from intermittent dropped packets to full connection loss. Additionally, the app retains key data in-memory on the device to provide ultra-fast item scan and checkout flows, ensuring maximum in-store sales conversion.
“In a retail environment that places a premium on serving the customer as gracefully and efficiently as possible, having a point of sale that maximizes omnichannel selling and service while rolling with the punches of the store network is quickly becoming table stakes,” said Robby Dewling, director, Product Management at Manhattan Associates. “Manhattan Active Point of Sale’s omnichannel customer view and advanced engagement tools allow associates to personalize interactions and craft memorable shopping experiences.”
