BUSINESS CHALLENGES

Challenge
Tender values and notes must match the real close

Accuracy
Shift teams need a process that does not drag on

Speed
Finance should be able to see what happened

Audit Support

The sync should be easy to look after

Detail
Without a structured process, the end-of-day close varies from shift to shift, making it harder to trust or review

Accuracy
Cash, card, and deposit figures need to reflect what actually happened at the till, not approximations made under time pressure

Speed
A close that takes too long adds to an already tiring shift and increases the temptation to rush or skip stepsConnection Setup
A confusing or fragile setup process makes onboarding the integration harder than it needs to be

Audit Support
Without a clear record, finance teams can't easily review what occurred during the close or investigate discrepancies later

SOLUTION APPROACH

What We Built

Guided Close
Structures the end-of-day process into clear steps, so every close follows the same consistent path

Exception Handling
Lets unusual items be recorded in plain language, rather than forcing awkward figures into a rigid format

Finance Handoff
Makes the review simple for the next team by presenting a clean, structured close ready for finance

Why It Matters

Guided Close
Shift teams always know what comes next, and the close happens the same way regardless of who's running it

Exception Handling
Anything that doesn't fit the standard close still gets captured clearly, so nothing is lost or glossed over

Finance Handoff
Finance staff can review the close quickly without chasing down missing details or reconstructing what happened
