  • For states that require taxes to be applied in a specific order or cumulatively, Flowhub gives you the control and visibility to ensure you’re calculating taxes correctly and collecting the proper amounts.

  • To enable this new feature, managers will need a new permission “Edit Open Carts.” Queue Display & Filters Currently, the queue displays: Customers NOT being actively checked out by a budtender Med or Rec customers depending on which drawer you’re assigned to Users with the new “Edit Open Carts” permission will be able to see ALL customers in the queue along with the name of the user checking out each customer. During busy times of the day, the queue will become overwhelming so we added a filter so managers can clearly see: Customers being checked out Customers waiting in line Manager Enters a Cart Remotely With the “Edit Open Carts” permission, managers will be able to enter carts that are already open. Budtenders will NOT have to move the customer back & forth to the queue. And when a manager enters a cart, the Budtender will be notified. Manager Exits a Cart Similarly, Budtenders will be notified when a manager exits their cart. “Assign to Drawer” Prompt With this new permission, managers do NOT need to be assigned to drawers to to make changes to an open cart. If the manager wants to complete a sale, then the system will prompt the manager to assign him/herself to a drawer so that sale is logged correctly. Discount Usage Report in Reports Beta This new report is VERY similar to the existing one, with a few improvements: With this new permission, the employee that applied a discount could be different than the employee that completed the sale, so we add a “Discount Applied By” field to the report. The “Discount Applied By” is the user that applied the discount to a single item in the cart. A field for “Discount Type” displays as well, so you know exactly how a discount was applied (in-line vs. auto-apply vs. coupon code).

  • Loyalty programs are a great way to incentivize your customers to keep coming back. Flowhub gives you the ability to build in your own custom Loyalty program. Set it up once and begin rewarding your loyal customer base today! Your Loyalty Programs are created and updated in Company Management. This means you can set up your Loyalty Programs one time and they will roll out to each of your various locations. Remember: $1 is equal to one point in Flowhub. You get to choose how much money that point is worth. Once activated, your Flowhub POS will track every dollar (before tax) spent by your loyalty members (at all stores). Below are each of the steps you will need in order to set up your Loyalty Programs. Once you log into your account, click on the Bottom Navigation Menu Click Manage > Company Management from the menu From the Top Navigation Bar, click Manage > Loyalty In the upper right of the Loyalty page, click the + symbol to create your first set of rules. The Loyalty Program can apply to the following customer types (each one must be set separately) Medical Patients Recreational Patients Medical Members (primary patients) You will determine a threshold: How many points do your members need to collect before cashing in for their loyalty rewards? You may have multiple thresholds. For example: you can set one threshold to be 100 points, and have that be worth a set amount of money. You can set a second (higher) threshold and make that worth more money. This would incentivize them to save their points. It is completely up to you how many thresholds you want to create, and what each is worth. Next, set how much the points are worth: As mentioned above, each set of points needs to have a value. For example: for the first threshold of points (100), you can set those points to be worth 5 cents each. This would make your 100 points worth $5 off a purchase. Create as many Thresholds as you need, and then save the profile. You would then repeat this for the other customer types (Medical, Primary Medical, and Recreational). Adding Customers to the Loyalty Program Any customer or patient can join the loyalty program. When checking in the customer, select the Loyalty Member checkbox option and add required information. This customer is assigned to this group going forward and will receive points per dollar spent. From the NUG: Once you scan a user's ID, but before you check them in, click on the More option in the upper right. On the next screen, you would enter in the phone number of the user. Then click on the check box to save this info to the user's profile. Use Loyalty Points When a customer (who is also a loyalty member) reaches the first threshold, they will gain the ability to redeem their points for the dollar amount allocated by the dispensary within their cart, click to see check out section. Let's add some new rec loyalty: Check customer into the Queue (NUG or manually) When adding the customer > Select Loyalty Member check box Fill in additional information collected from the customer (Required fields are phone number and email address) Click Save This customer is now saved in the database, so we track their sales (points) Data Saved: All data provided when becoming a member Purchase history Loyalty points If a member has already been added to the loyalty program, and you would like to check them into the queue they will already be saved in the system. When checking them in, just click the customer search icon (arrow next to the check box) and type their name: Example program for medical customers: For every dollar spent, the customer will receive a point. There are three thresholds set up based on points collected and the value of those points: Threshold 1 - At 100 points (or $100 spent) the customer can redeem for 5% discount. 5% of $100 spent = $5 to use towards a purchase. Threshold 2 - At 1,000 points (or $1,000 spent) the customer can redeem for 10% discount. 10% of $1,000 spent = $100 to use towards a purchase. Notes: If the customer’s total is greater than the ‘points in dollars’, you can then select cash or card and continue with a second payment option. If you do not see the option to use loyalty points, the customer either does not have enough points, or you need to adjust your threshold.

If you do not have the permissions necessary to run the OMMA related reports, please reach out to a manager or your Flowhub administrator. All Oklahoma users with the Report Admin and Access Reports permissions will automatically have access to the OMMA Report. The report can be found and selected within Reports New. To access Reports New log into https://pos.flowhub.co using the Chrome Browser and select Reports New from the left hand navigation. Select Reports from the available dropdown to see your reports. Accessing & Scheduling the OMMA Report Under Reports New, you will see the OMMA report listed along with any other created reports. This report can be removed and added back. If you do not see the report listed, you can manually create the report by following the steps below. Creating the OMMA Report Click the + Add New Report button at the top of Reports New. Enter the name OMMA Report, along with a description. Then select the OMMA option in the Report Type dropdown. Once you select the report and click Next, you'll see the options for the report fields. You can choose the Select All option at the top and click Next. The only filters you'll see are for Month and Year. You'll want to select both of these options and save the report. Scheduling the OMMA Report For the purposes of streamlining the overall reporting process, we recommend scheduling the report to have it automatically sent to you on the first of each month. To schedule this report, click on the OMMA Report then select the Schedule Report option under the Details panel to the right. After selecting the Schedule Report option, you'll see the options to select the frequency and delivery method of the report. Select the frequency of Monthly and enter the desired email(s) to have the report delivered to. Make sure to click “add” after email address to make sure the email is saved. Once done, click Save and you're all set! Each month, on the first, the OMMA report will be automatically sent to the email addresses entered on this screen. If you'd like to run the report manually and have more control over the time and date at which you receive the report, click the Run Report option and select the desired month and run the report. Flowhub’s OMMA Report includes the following: Sales Weight (lbs) & Count (units) for each category/customer type Beginning Inventory for the month Ending Inventory for the month Pre-tax sales amount (Medical Cannabis Sales for Adult Patients & Caregivers) Taxes Collected (Listed by Tax rate) Inventory Added (Count) Inventory Added (Weight) The OMMA Report pulls the counts for Concentrates. If you use Extract as a Type of concentrate, you’ll receive a count for Extracts as well. In the OMMA Portal, ‘Edibles’ is the only category that requires a weight AND count to be entered. The rest of the categories require a weight OR count. Because of this, the OMMA Report provides the weight and count for edibles and either a weight OR count for the remaining categories. NOTE: For values not required by the OMMA portal, the OMMA Report displays 0’s in those fields. This does not mean that the value is zero, rather that the cell is NULL and not required for OMMA reporting. Monthly Workflow Each month, we’d recommend following the steps below to efficiently gather all of the above information before you navigate to the OMMA portal. That way, you’ll have all of the reports on hand and ready to go. Step 1: Schedule the OMMA Report from Reports NEW to have it delivered to your email with a frequency of Monthly. You’ll receive the report on the first of each month and will simply need to confirm by checking your Inbox. Step 2: Once you receive the report, open the OMMA portal and use the Flowhub report to copy and paste the data into the appropriate fields. Please note, the OMMA monthly portal does not have an API connection or CSV file upload and will require users to manually enter the data from the Flowhub OMMA report into the OMMA portal.

  • Sign in at https://manage.flowhub.co This is where you will manage all of your Specials. If it is the first time creating a Special for your location the page will look like this: As you add Specials the page will list the Specials and allow you to view the details for each Special. Creating a New Special Click the oval + NEW SPECIAL button near the top of the page. This will launch the screen: Enter the name of you special and choose the right option: BUY SOMETHING, GET REWARDED For our example we’ll be making a Penny Joint deal. First, you’ll want to select which customers are eligible for the discount under Eligible Customers. The Special engine will default to Everyone as the eligible customer type. You can choose to have the discount apply to everyone, recreational, medical, medical primary, or both medical & medical primary customers. You can also specify Specials by Customer Groups you have created in Flowhub. Next, you’ll want to select which Participating Locations will have this Special available. Check & uncheck any locations depending on the type of Special you are creating. You can choose to have the Special carry over to future locations by leaving the ALL LOCATIONS (CURRENT AND FUTURE) checked. This will make it so the Special will be applied to any new locations automatically. You can also decide to only have a specific location by unchecking all but the location you have in mind. Now you’ll choose the Timeframe for the Special. You can edit the Start and the End date to make a Special available only certain dates. You can also specify a day or days of the week for the Special to occur. If you un-check the ONGOING SPECIAL box the current date will populate in the End Date. The last step for the initial Specials setup will be the Additional Settings section. Here you can choose how this Special will be applied. By default the NO, SPECIAL AUTO-APPLIES will be selected. This means that if a customer purchases the correct products the discount will be applied. If you’d like to choose a redemption code you can select YES. This will allow you to enter a code: This number limits how many times the discount will apply to a customer's purchase. For our example, we want this Special to: Be available for everyone at all of our locations. Active everyday.. Auto-Apply to those who meet the purchase requirements. Apply up to 2 times in a single transaction. To do this we’ll do the following: Under Eligible Customer we have selected everyone For Participating Selections we have chosen ALL LOCATIONS (CURRENT AND FUTURE) Leave Timeframe as is Last but not least, for Additional Settings We didn’t add a code, which makes the Special Auto-Apply so long as the transaction includes the needed purchases. We updated the amount per transaction to 2. Check the Cart Details to verify your selections: Select the TRANSACTION INCLUDES button to continue What does the Customer Need to Buy? On the left hand of the screen you will see a list of all available Products. You can filter based on Brand, Product Type, and also by Product Category.

Once you select a Product, the Special’s Details will update showing you that you have selected the BUY SOMETHING portion of the Special.

  • Welcome to the Flowhub Platform’s Cashier App! This article will walk you through getting started as a Budtender in the Cashier App! Verify Your Account When your account for Cashier is created you will receive an email titled: Verify Your Flowhub Point of Sale Account, (Your Name) Click the Let's Do This button in the email and you'll be directed to a page where you can set your PIN and verify your Badge ID/Username: Once you finish here, head to http://cashier.flowhub.co and sign in! If you do not receive this email Click Here for an alternative way of getting your account set up! Signing into Cashier When you first sign into Cashier, you’ll be directed to the main Cashier page: More than likely you will see the message: “You must be assigned to a drawer to start making transactions.” You are seeing this because this is your first time signing in and you are not assigned to a drawer. What is a Drawer? A Drawer in Flowhub is a digital representation of a physical cash drawer. A Drawer will be assigned to a Room which will allow the worker's assigned to the Drawer to make sales from that Room's inventory. What is a Room? A Room in Flowhub is the location of your Inventory. Rooms can be set up as either For Sale or Not For Sale. Any Rooms designated as "Not For Sale" will not be able to be linked to a Drawer. Note: A Room's inventory will only be available to Budtender's that are assigned to the corresponding Drawer. Getting Assigned to a Drawer Assign Yourself: You’ll be able to assign yourself to a drawer by choosing the DRAWERS link in the upper left hand corner of the page. Be Assigned: If you don’t have the permissions needed to assign yourself to a Drawer, you must be assigned a drawer by a supervisor or manager. Assigning a Drawer Click DRAWERS. Once on the DRAWERS page you’ll see a page similar to the following: All your Drawers will be listed here. You will click the + icon for the Drawer you need to assign yourself to that Drawer. Once you are assigned to a Drawer the icon will move over and and an icon with the word YOU will be visible. You are now assigned to a drawer and ready to take in customers! What do I do if there is no + sign on the Drawer ? This means that you do not have the permissions needed to assign yourself to a Drawer. You will want to check with your direct supervisor to have someone with the correct permissions add you to the drawer. What do I do if there is no Drawer? If there is no Drawer and you also do not see a + NEW DRAWER option at the bottom of the page, you will need to check with your manager/supervisor to have a Drawer created as you’ll need elevated permissions in order to create a Drawer. Note: Even if you are able to see the + NEW DRAWER option we highly recommend that unless you are tasked with specifically creating a Drawer, that you confirm with your direct Supervisor or Manager before you do so. Click the links below to find additional information: Rooms & Drawers Making Sales as A Budtender Now that you are assigned to a Drawer you can begin selling products to Customers! Select the Flowhub Leaf in the upper left hand corner of the page to be directed to Cashier. This screen highlights the separate sections you will navigate while working within Cashier: 1 | Navigation You can use these links if you ever need to toggle between Cashier and Drawers. The Flowhub Leaf will take you to Cashier. The Drawers link will take you to Drawers. 2 | Location Information and Profile Sign Out The first link/drop down will say which location you are at. If you select this link, it will drop down and show you your current Drawer assignments. The second link that displays your name will allow you to log out if selected. 3 | Customer Queue The customer queue is where all Customers will be listed and it is from here you will select a customer in order to check them out. 4 | Inventory Catalog You will be able to view all products currently listed within Flowhub. At the top of this section there is a search feature that allows you to search product. If you select a VIEW DETAILS link for a product you will see additional information for the product. How to I check in Customers? Most locations will likely have Customers added by a Front Desk or Reception area. To learn how to add Customers to the queue check out the following links! Checking In a Customer with the Nug Check-In App! Checking In a Customer with Flowhub Classic at https://pos.flowhub.co Working with a Customer Once Customers have been added to the cart, you’ll be able to ring them up in Cashier! Select a Customer from the Customer Queue. They are listed in order of wait time. When you select a Customer you will be taken into their Cart. This image highlights the options that are available through the Customer Cart. 1 | Customer Queue You will see the Customer Queue is collapsed so that there is more room for the Inventory and the Cart to be shown on the page. To re-open the queue, you can click the > arrow. This will allow you to see other customers still in the queue. 2 | Customer Information This section will show the customer’s name, age, and the state they are from. This is also where you can view and edit any notes. If you select “No Notes” you will be given a window to add a note. Once the note is added it will display in its entirety in this section. 3 | Return to Queue and Ellipsis Menu Selecting RETURN TO QUEUE will move the Customer back into the queue. Selecting the ellipsis or triple dot menu will give you the option to remove the Customer from the queue entirely after you enter a specific reason for their departure. 4 | Inventory Catalog and Gift Cards This is where you can select and add products to add to the customer’s cart by selecting the + sign listed next to the product. You can also add a Gift Card by choosing the SELL GIFT CARD link. This will open a modal that will allow you to enter the Gift Card’s ID, and assign an entered amount to the card. 5 | Customer Cart This is the Customer’s cart. To add products to the cart you can select the round + sign next to the product. Adding Inventory to a Cart Once your customer has made their selection, you can use the search feature to locate the item, use a scanner to scan the item's barcode, or scroll to find the product. When the product is located, if the item is available for sale, there will be a + icon listed next to the product that looks like this: Once you select/hover over it, it will highlight in purple: This will allow you to click and add the product to your cart. What if there is no + Icon and the product should be available? You will want to check the following: Is the Drawer you are assigned to assigned to the type of Inventory the product is listed under? A Recreational Drawer will not allow for Medical inventory to be sold even if it is in the same room. Is the Drawer you are assigned to associated to the Room that the product is stored in? If not: You'll need to add yourself to a Drawer that is associated to that Room If it is in a Not For Sale room you will need to have someone with the correct permissions move the products into a Room that is marked For Sale. Is there any product left in stock? Once an item sells out it may still be listed but the quantity will show as 0. Verify all of these details are correct and if you should be able to add the product to your customer's cart! As products are added to the cart the cart will update the cart's subtotal & totals: As products are added to the cart, you will see the cart will display additional information based on the products that are added. Cart Details & Options Cannabis Legal Limit Counter The Cannabis Counter indicates how much product a customer is legally able to purchase at a time based on your State’s legal purchasing limits. Product Information & Product Menu Each product added to the Cart will list the Product Name, Product Price, Quantity being sold, and it will also show what Type of item the product is. Every product that is added to the cart will have its own ellipsis Menu which will give you the below options when you click it: Those options: Remove From Cart Allows you to remove an item from the cart. If a customer changes their mind, select this option and the item will return to inventory and be available for another customer to purchase.

  • The “METRC Discrepancy - Inventory Report” found in the REPORTS tab shows ALL Discrepancies between your Flowhub and METRC inventory quantities. This report DOES NOT list all active packages within the location's inventory. Rather, this report only displays packages with varying quantities or other errors between METRC and Flowhub's inventory. *This report DOES NOT include current day's sales* Because the report represents inventory quantities from the most recent METRC Sales push, to collect the most accurate data we recommend running the METRC Discrepancy - Inventory report immediately after pushing sales to METRC or before sales have been conducted for that day. In order to run the METRC inventory report, simply click the Reports tab from the left hand side menu, find the report labeled “METRC Discrepancy - Inventory Report”, select your license and the license type (med or rec), and click CSV. You will need a valid METRC API Key in order pull this report. For instructions on how to generate and assign a METRC API Key, click here. Once the METRC Discrepancy - Inventory Report is ran the following fields will be displayed within the CSV: Package ID License Flowhub Category METRC Category METRC Product Name Flowhub Unit of Measure METRC Unit of Measure Unit of Measure Matches METRC (yes / no) Flowhub Quantity Flowhub Calc. Weight METRC Quantity, Quantity Varience (METRC - Flowhub Calc. Weight) Notes. Please see the Notes column located on on the right hand side of the csv to view the discrepancy reason. The METRC Discrepancy - Inventory Report will appear in the following format: Please use the following guide for brief descriptions and troubleshooting steps for each discrepancy note: Active Package not in Flowhub: The package has been created in METRC but has yet to be added to Flowhub's inventory. This Package simply needs to be added to your Flowhub inventory. Please use the following link for instructions on how to import packages from METRC through the Packages tab. You can also add in the inventory manually or through a CSV file through the Inventory tab. For instructions on how to add inventory, please click here Inactive Package not in Metrc: The package is currently in Flowhub and within the inactive portion of METRC, meaning the package was sold down to 0, adjusted, or combined before the package was finished. Search for the package tag within inactive METRC > use the drop down to locate the effected package tag > determine what actions were taken. Adjusted - If a negative adjustment occurred within the tags, the user is still in compliance if this package is “unfinished” > navigate to active portion within METRC > adjust the package UP to reflect the same # of units that were previously adjusted out. This number should match the Flowhub quantity as well. Sold through - If a package was sold through with no adjustments this implies an under/oversold has occurred. It is very important the user finds the UP adjustments (oversold) matching the DOWN adjustment (undersold). Combined Packages - If all of the weight from this package has been moved into a new package, the inactive package can not be adjusted. If any adjustments occur, they need to be applied to the active package the weight was moved into. Multiple SKUs in Flowhub: Multiple inventory items in Flowhub are attached to one package tag in METRC but are separated within the Flowhub Inventory because the packages are assigned different SKUs. Although both share the same package ID, a discrepancy will still appear in the METRC Inventory - Discrepancy report as the report compares the quantity in METRC to the quantity assigned to each individual SKU. Solution: It is recommend to utilize a pivot table to group these SKUs together to properly compare Flowhub and METRC quantities. First, copy and paste all of these packages into a new Google Sheets file. Highlight the spreadsheet > click Data > select Pivot Table and create a pivot table with the following options: Use the newly calculated sum to compare to the METRC quantity. Not Found in METRC: The package tag is not listed under the license in METRC the report was ran under, active or inactive. Solution: Double check the package ID is correct by searching for the package in the active OR searching the last 4 digits of the package tag to see if a package is incorrectly entered. If there are no results, navigate to Transfers > Outgoing or Incoming >> and search within those manifest to find the package tag. Lastly, if the company utilizes a warehouse facility, the package maybe sitting in another license waiting to be shipped. Quantity Discrepancy: Flowhub and METRC package’s calculated weight (flower) or number of units (infused products/”each”) do not match. Solution: Confirm the METRC Inventory - Discrepancy Report has not been run in middle of the day, this variance could be a result of the current day's sales that have yet to be reported to METRC. If this is not the case, physically count inventory with any quantity discrepancy to try to find under/over sales. Unit of Measure Discrepancy: The each or gram unit of measure does not match in Flowhub or METRC. *Unit of measures in Flowhub must match the unit of measure displayed in METRC when pushing sales via CSV* Solution: Change the unit of measure in Flowhub to match what is displayed in METRC.

  • Flowhub’s new Stash App™ allows users to manage their dispensary’s inventory without being tethered to a computer. The Stash app allows increased visibility into your dispensary’s inventory activity by allowing the user to manage their inventory straight from the palm of their hand through three primary functions. The following article provides step by step instructions on how to audit inventory, transfer inventory between locations, and move inventory between rooms all within Stash. First things first, you will need to log in to the app. Your username and password for the Stash app are the same credentials you use to log in to the Flowhub Point of Sale. If you experience any login issues, please feel free to click the following link or reach out to our Product Support team at 844-FLOWHUB Audit Inventory Once you successfully signed into the Stash app, you will be greeted with the Stash app home page. In order to begin an audit click Audit Inventory from the menu. Choose a product to audit: This can be done most easily by scanning the physical inventory item SKU or package tag with the NUG. You can also search for products by filtering the inventory by category and room. The Categories and Room filters are located near the top of the inventory listing. In order to filter by either the category or room, simply click the dropdown, select the desired category or room and select the product you wish to audit. Inventory will appear in the listed in order by last audit date. With the audit feature, you have the option to batch select inventory to audit multiple items at the same time. Simply check the blank bubble for as many inventory items you wish to audit and press the Audit Items button below. You will then be directed to this screen displaying the inventory items awaiting audit. For each inventory item, you will be able to see when it was last audited. If it has never been audited before, the SKU as well as the package tag, the room where the inventory item is located and the expected quantity. To confirm the inventory quantity, simply click Confirm. If in your audit you find a discrepancy between the physical quantity of the audited item and the Flowhub quantity select QTY IS OFF, enter the new quantity and a reason for the discrepancy. The Stash app also provides a free text field to submit any vital information for the submitted discrepancy. Once a discrepancy has been submitted, you will notice the product will appear grayed out within the STASH application. Below the product information, located immediately to the left of the Last Audited date, the status of the submitted discrepancy will appear as “Discrepancy Under Review”. All Discrepancies must be approved on the Flowhub web browser by an Employee with the Manage Inventory permission. For more information about permissions, please click here. Once the discrepancy is submitted, a yellow notification will appear on the Stash app's home screen informing you a discrepancy is awaiting approval. Select the notification to either accept or reject the discrepancy. This new screen will display both the old and new count for the submitted discrepancy. After reviewing the submitted discrepancy either select Approve or Reject. Discrepancies can also be approved or rejected from the Flowhub browser. Click the following link for instructions on how to approve or reject the submitted discrepancy from the Flowhub browser. After the discrepancy has been approved, the quantity of the item will be accurately represented on STASH as within the inventory tab on your desktop. Transfer between locations The transfer feature allows users to transfer Flowhub inventory from one location to another. In order to begin a transfer, navigate back to the home screen and select Transfer Between Locations. Like the audit app, inventory items can be searched by simply scanning the SKU or package tag assigned to the product or manually searching for the product using the category and room filters. Multiple packages can easily be transferred at once by checking the blank bubble located next to the inventory item for transfer and selecting the green transfer button located on the bottom of the Stash app. Select the transfer location from the Select location dropdown. Locations receiving shipments must be set up on the same backend regs as the shipping location. If the location you are attempting to transfer to appears grayed out, please contact Flowhub product support at 844-FLOWHUB. In order to change the quantity being transferred, simply click Change next to the inventory item and submit the new quantity. If you do not submit a change in the transferred quantity, the default will include the entire package total. Once the location and transfer quantity have been entered, click the blue Transfer button located at the bottom of the Stash app to submit the transfer. Once an inventory item is transferred to the new location, you will NOT need to import the package from the packages tab. Move Between Rooms The Stash app allows inventory to easily be moved from room to room through the Move feature. In order to begin a move, navigate over to the Stash app home page and select Move Between Rooms. Simply scan the SKU or the package ID to locate the inventory item needing to be moved or manually locate the product or products. Like the audit and transfer features products can be filtered by the category and room filters and moved in batches. To move multiple inventory items, check the blank bubble located next to the product and select the green Move Items button on the bottom. First, select the room from the Destination Room Dropdown. Once the destination room is selected, set the quantity being moved by clicking Change and submitting the desired quantity to be moved. When both the room and quantities have been determined, select Move at the bottom of your screen. You will receive the following confirmation that the inventory items have been moved to the requested room. FAQ's: Q: If not completed or submitted, are the progress of my audits, transfers, or moves saved? A: Yes, navigating back to the home page before pending audits have been submitted will display the quantity of these pending audits in the green bubble to the right of “Audit Inventory”. However, navigating to another part of the app by selecting either the Transfer Between locations, Move Between Rooms, or Audit Inventory while will bring you to the following screen: In order to keep your data clean, the Stash app will remove any pending audits, moves or transfers if you navigate to a separate part of Stash. These items will need to be re-scanned if you want to continue to audit, move, or transfer the pending product. Q: What if I accidentally select an item I don't want to Audit, Move, or Transfer? A: If you accidentally select an item you don't want to audit, transfer, or move, simply deselect the checkbox or swipe left to return to the home page and navigate to another part of the app to abandon the pending action.

  • We've recently launched an update to our Check In Mobile App on the NUG. For a complete walkthrough of the new interface and features, please check out the video below: When opening the new version of the Check In app, you should hear a happy beep. This sound represents the iPhone connecting to the Honeywell Scanner, ensuring you're able to scan properly. Interface/UI Changes A few things you'll immediately notice are the new layout and color scheme. We've updated the interface to allow for easy customer creation and scanning. The green pencil icon allows you to manually add a customer. This is helpful for international customers shopping with a passport. The blue camera icon represents the phone's camera which can be used to scan IDs as an alternative to the barcode scanner. Once customers are checked in, you'll see the wrench icon in the upper left. This option allows you to remove a single customer or your entire queue. When there are no customers checked in, this option will not display. . You also can access the Remove and Edit options for individual customers by swiping left on a checked in customer. Customer Documents For Medical patients or customers that require additional documentation, you can access the document uploads panel by swiping right on customer details panel. Swipe left to return to the customer details view. To access this view for recreational customers, you'll want to select the Add Info button in the upper right before you select the Check In/Add Customer options. Once a photo is taken of the desired document, it will be listed as pending until you select the Check-In button. If you need to remove or redo the document uploads, you can select the trash can icon next to the pending upload. Questions? If you'd like more information on the benefits of the Check In app, please feel free to check out our recent blog post here. You can also give us a call at 844-FLOWHUB and we'll be happy to discuss any additional questions.
