Cluster POS

Updated February 05, 2025 21:18

You can integrate your Cluster POS to pull your actual sales data into 7shifts.

⚠️ Access to this feature may require an upgrade from your current plan.

Adding the Integration

Log in to Cluster POS as an Admin.
Navigate to the Integrations tab to grant access and enable the integration.

For more assistance on enabling the integration, please reach out to Cluster POS Support (support@clusterpos.com).

Actual Sales & 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 sale projections here.

Sales data from Cluster POS syncs to 7shifts every 5 minutes.

⚠️ Sales Accuracy

To ensure accurate reporting and matching sales totals, 7shifts and Cluster POS must both:

be in the same timezone
have work day hours ranging from 5AM—5AM

7shifts will sync sales data into the Dashboard, Manager Log Book, Actuals Report, and the Labor Budget Tool.

Projected Sales

When building schedules for future weeks, 7shifts will automatically use past historical sales data to generate and insert sales projections. This feature enables more accurate scheduling to help you stay on budget and within your labor targets.

Actual Sales

The Actual Sales data will initially be empty for the current or future days until sales data starts rolling in. Once sales numbers are pulled into 7shifts, they will be displayed under the respective days.
