Arrow POS

Arrow POS integrates with 7shifts to sync actual sales and labor data, including time punches, employee records, and schedule enforcement. Connecting Arrow POS to 7shifts gives managers visibility into real-time labor costs alongside their scheduled shifts.

Actual Sales and Forecasting

Once your integration has been activated, your real-time sales data will be enabled by default. 7shifts will also use those Actual Sales values to populate Projected Sales, allowing you to create schedules based on those projections. These will become more accurate over time as more data is available.

After activating your integration, please note that sales projections may not appear immediately. It can take approximately 1–2 weeks from the activation date for sales projections to become visible, covering up to four weeks into the future. These will become more accurate over time as more data is available.

You can manually import sales data for more immediate projections. To do this, import hourly sales each day or individual receipts consistently. You can learn more about sales projections here.

• Both 7shifts and Applova POS must be configured with the same time zone and workday hours (5:00 AM to 5:00 AM).
• It may take a few hours for the system to bring in previous sales. If sales data does not appear initially, check back in a few hours.
• It takes approximately 1 to 2 weeks of data collection for initial sales projections to appear.
• 7shifts will sync sales data into the Dashboard, Manager Log Book, Actuals Report, and the Labor Budget Tool.

Actual Labor

Arrow POS integrates with 7shifts for Actual Labor. This means that your actual labor costs will be pulled into 7shifts. Once enabled, your actual labor costs will be displayed on the Dashboard allowing you to compare Sales vs. Labor.

Schedule Enforcement

Arrow POS supports Schedule Enforcement with 7shifts. When Schedule Enforcement is enabled, Arrow POS checks 7shifts to confirm an employee has a scheduled shift before allowing them to clock in. Employees without a matching scheduled shift in 7shifts will be prevented from clocking in on Arrow POS.

• Contact Arrow POS Support at support@arrowpos.com to enable Schedule Enforcement on your account.

Employee Sync

Arrow POS supports bidirectional employee sync with 7shifts. Employee data can flow from Arrow POS into 7shifts, and from 7shifts into Arrow POS. This ensures employee profiles and role assignments stay consistent across both systems.

Integration Warnings in Time Clocking

Once your POS labor is syncing into 7shifts, you will see a Warnings tab when reviewing your current pay period. This tab highlights punches missing a role in your POS/7shifts labor data that may need attention before running payroll.

These warnings appear directly in Time Clocking > Pay Periods > Warnings, helping you quickly identify and fix issues with labor data flowing in from the POS.

You can resolve most issues right from the Warnings tab, and you can still close your pay period even if some warnings remain.
