About

ORVO Cloud POS

Features
Read full description

ORVO Cloud POS turns an iPad or phone into a till and staff time clock for your ORVO POS account. The screens ship inside the app, so it opens instantly and keeps working when the internet does not. HOW IT WORKS Link the device to one of your shops with the code from your ORVO owner portal (my.orvopos.com, under Shops then Devices). Once linked, the device signs itself in, so staff never type passwords at the counter. KEY FEATURES - Staff time clock: scan a wallet pass or enter a code to clock in and out - Works offline: clock punches queue on the device and sync when you reconnect - Manager approvals on the spot, with offline manager codes when there is no signal - Keeps the screen awake, built to sit on a counter all day - A connection dot always shows whether the device is live - The till updates itself, so screen fixes arrive without an app store update WHO IT IS FOR Shops on an ORVO POS account. The device must be linked to a shop by the account owner or a manager before staff can use it. REQUIREMENTS - An active ORVO POS account - A shop device code from the owner portal - Internet for linking and syncing. Day-to-day use works offline.
