Retail webinar for June

The monthly Retail webinar held on June 6 was filled with some great content and attended by over 80 participants from around the globe.

We started with a demo of extensibility enhancements during which the new application programming interface (API) triggers were used with the point of sale (POS). After that, we discussed details of the Regression Suite Automation Tool (RSAT) for POS, which enables retailers to perform regression testing on POS to ensure new enhancements don’t break existing business processes. We then covered the statement posting enhancements, which were added to improve posting performance and provide new validation rules for transactions. This was followed by the product search and discoverability enhancements, where we showcased faster product searches and new refinement capabilities. The last part of the webinar provided insights into the upcoming task management capabilities, which will ensure efficient store execution. We also showcased our vision for simplifying the management of the button grids displayed on POS.

We’ve posted a recording and the presentation materials from this last webinar, as well as information about the upcoming webinar on the Retail Interest Group Yammer group. This Yammer group is quite active—used by implementation partners, support, customers, and product group members to post questions and comments—allowing members to take advantage of the collective knowledge of the Retail community. To join this group, go to the Yammer site to send a request – http://aka.ms/retailinterestgroup.

The next webinar will be during the second week of July. We’re looking forward to seeing you all there!
