New POS

How many stores are using the new POS? How is it working out for you? Is it driving sales increases and lowering in store costs?

That is a LOT of consultants. This is typical. Corp. loves to throw a ton of consultants at a project. They still haven't learned that quantity is not the same as quality.

100 consultants working on this ORPOS for the past two years, two years ago I had one that worked. Any way we can use that one instead?

According to the CIO at a town hall, he has over 100 consultants working on this ORPOS for the past two years!

Interesting. Dumping money into an unworkable solution because it's supported? We have to replace WinDSS but it seems like the decision process was flawed.

The decision was based on the burning platform which was WinDSS. Now you have new technology that will be supported by Oracle for 10-15 years.

Here's the ironic part. We stopped the previous mobile POS system with a different vendor that actually worked in favor of this. All to satisfy the over-inflated ego of our CIO.

No I can't say it's helping much here. More work keeping track of it. The rollout isn't even completed. It doesn't have all the necessary functionality yet. Realistically I don't expect it before 2016.
