RetailEdge 8.2.53 Release Notes
Published April 11, 2018
This release is one of our largest to date. It introduces RECON Cloud and provides many great new productivity features and some minor fixes.
New Features
1. Created RECON Cloud to help make synchronization between mobile workstations and multiple locations easier. With RECON Cloud we can now host your data so that you don’t need dedicated equipment for your synchronization server or have to install and support a VPN. RECON Cloud also allows us to offer you the option of paying for RECON client licenses and Island workstations with low monthly payments instead of a one-time larger upfront cost.
2. The VAT price calculator now automatically calculates VAT pricing for all price levels (Price 1-5). The VAT calculator now automatically populates the calculated VAT pricing when leaving the price field and when saving the item.
