Speedline POS
Connecting your Speedline POS (Cloud) to 7shifts allows you to streamline your operations by syncing sales data, labor punches, and employee information in near-real-time.
Things to Know
Supported by Speedline. Speedline manages the setup and configuration process. For help with setup, connection settings, or troubleshooting, contact Speedline Support directly at devmanager@speedlinesolutions.com.
Important: The Speedline POS integration is only compatible with Speedline Plus (Cloud).
- Access to this feature may require an upgrade from your existing plan.
- A setup fee may be required by Speedline to activate the integration.
- Speedline creates a default 'All Roles' department during setup. If your 7shifts account is already populated, check for duplicate role names to ensure your data stays accurate.
- New users created in 7shifts do not sync back to Speedline and must be created in the POS.
Add the Integration
You can get your access token and information from 7shifts by heading to Settings > Developer Tools. For setup assistance, contact Speedline Support at devmanager@speedlinesolutions.com.
Contact a Speedline sales representative to request activation of the integration. Speedline's team manages the setup process end to end.
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 Speedline must be configured with the same time zone and workday hours (5:00 AM to 5:00 AM).
- This sync includes full line-item details and supports open, closed, and voided receipt statuses.
- It may take a few hours for the system to bring in previous sales. If they do not appear initially, check back in a few hours.
- It takes approximately 1–2 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.

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 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.
Actual Sales and Forecasting in 7shifts defines universal rules and how projection logic applies across all supported integrations.
Actual Labor
We integrate with Speedline 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 Speedline actual Labor.
- Time punch edits should be made directly in your POS to avoid data conflicts. If you have enabled 3rd Party Punches, edit the punch in 7shifts instead.
Syncing POS time clocking data defines universal rules and how labor data from external systems is managed.
Schedule Enforcement
Schedule Enforcement ensures employees can only clock in when they are scheduled to work. Speedline communicates directly with 7shifts to validate scheduled shifts at clock-in.
Grace periods can be configured within Speedline under Scheduling Options > Terminal Settings. If an employee attempts to clock in outside of their scheduled window, the POS can be configured to require a manager override.
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.
