WineryPOS version (4.99) is available

[Robert Peck]

Version 4.99 is now available for download and the new iPad version is
available in the Apple App Store.

 

Please note that the update server automatically disables updates for
wineries that have 30+ day outstanding invoices.

Package pricing and update fees will be going up slightly in the new year.

 

UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

 

1.       To check for updates select Help/Check for Updates from the menu
bar, and the download will begin.
On base and sales terminals (or a Remote Terminal in Temporary Sales Mode)
you have to be in admin mode (press F12) to be able to check for updates.

 

2.       When the download completes, select 'Yes' to start the installation

Follow the installer directions.
You can now restart the WineryPOS application.

 

     It is better to update your base terminal first.  You can leave your
remote terminal(s) running and connected while you update the base terminal.

     If you have anti-virus software running, you may need to verify that
the WineryPOS application is still being allowed through the anti-virus
firewall. 

     If your remote terminal does not automatically pull the update from the
base terminal, and goes into Temporary Sales mode on start-up, just check
for updates on the remote terminal while in Temporary Sales mode.

 

END OF UPDATE INSTRUCTIONS

 

Updates (from 4.98) in this version:

1)      Support for Winery Reporting template V26.8.  Please note that the
template sent out by the LCBO in December has flawed performance - it has
incredibly slow performance (5-10 seconds per cell) on the VQA sheet.   I
received an updated version after complaining about the performance.

2)      A bug fix to correctly remove HST, if your tastings or BTG were
checked to be the price NOT including tax.

 

Upcoming Additions:

1)      Add export/posting to Sage/Quickbooks.  This feature will come with
a cost (TBD$/year) due to the expected support to keep it up-to-date with
Sage and Quickbooks updates.

2)      Enhancements to the Wine Club feature.

3)      Add a Loyalty program to award points/discounts/stuff to individuals
based on their purchases over the past number of month/weeks.

4)      Add a timesheet feature to track/report employee work hours

5)      Ability to crystallize all transactions before a specific date and
not allow any transactions to be created prior to that date.

6)      Add Shopify/WooCommerce inter-connectivity support.

7)      Add a configurable Region to the information for Contacts and allow
reports to be generated for regions (e.g., GTA/Ottawa/etc)

8)      Add Credit-on-Account tables to all of the relevant reports

9)      Import/Export.  a) handle Sale Groups and Sale Sets.  b) Bulk
inventory

10)   Be able to create sub-invoices or invoice sets for large sales done
through sales reps.

11)   Offer a backup service to store encrypted backups of your database on
my server.

12)   Ability to create barcodes or QR codes for membership contacts that
can be scanned from a smart phone.  That way membership swipe cards are not
needed.

13)   Create an iPhone app that supports the booking feature.

14)   Be able to Print bookings by the week/month.

15)   Add secondary commission rate for specific sales channels (eg Export,
or OOP).

16)   I will be moving the Windows build to a 64bit build (the MAC build has
always been 64bit)

 

As always, if there are any enhancements that you would like to see added,
let me know.  I put everything suggested on a prioritized list, and slowly
work my way through it.

 

Cheers,

Rob
