Orange Solutions

You can integrate your Orange Solutions POS to send and update real-time sales and labor data to 7shifts. 

Adding the Integration

Once the integration has been enabled for you by Orange Solutions' team:

1. Log in to your Orange Solutions account.
2. In the top navigation bar, click Settings > 7shifts.
3. Click Get Started > Grant access.
4. Select the connect link:
   
5. Select the 7shifts tab and choose a Location to connect.
6. Head back to Settings > 7shifts to import roles and users from 7shifts:

   2. Import Users.
7. In the top navigation bar, head to:
   1. Others > Jobs to verify clocking-in/out permissions.
   2. Others > Staff to verify employee job assignments match their counterparts in 7shifts.

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 Orange Solutions POS syncs to 7shifts every minute.

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

Actual Labor

We integrate with Orange Solutions 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.

You'll see the labor numbers update on the Dashboard on the day you enabled Orange Solutions' actual Labor. Going forward, these numbers will be updated daily (every minute) from your terminal.

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.
