We're excited to announce the availability of our POS Mapping feature. In a nutshell, it allows an enterprise client to mix and match multiple POS systems and/or multiple POS configurations.
The common practice in the past for multi-unit reporting systems has been to look at the name of the menu item and just aggregate the sales data based on the name. Unfortunately, this assumes that all of the systems use the same name for an item. If the names don't match, the company would need to update all the POS systems so that the items names are all in sync. The more locations, the bigger the problem.
Our solution is to actually match up menu items based on their underlying IDs. So we'll try to match up on the exact names first, then the names that are similar, then anything left over you can match up.
So basically, our clients can now get exact above-store product mix data from as many different POS systems and configurations as they have, and they have full control of all the item reporting across their enterprise from our system.

We just completed our integration to the Aloha POS system and we're rolling up our sleeves to tackle more. We have a simple polling client that runs in the background and sends us the daily data exports. That's all there is to it. Now Aloha clients can enjoy everything that WhenToManage has to offer: above-store reporting and business intelligence, inventory, employee scheduling, and everything else.
