 – 75% of Futura customers attend User Group

 – 80% survey respondents confirmed the information was valuable

Futura’s 2017 User Group was a chance for Futura’s customers to hear of key technical developments, meet like-minded retailers and learn more about optimising their EPOS platform over 2 days. The feedback from the event was very positive, the topics that generated the most interest were:

  • New Futura features and updates available now by upgrading to the latest version.
  • The wealth and variety of pre-configured reports now available within Futura4Analyser, powered by Qlik.
  • New POS audit reports to improve cashier productivity, improve customer service and reduce shrinkage.
  • The variety of developments around making customer data capture more accurate, including a new easy to use customer capture screen and e-receipt offering to encourage customers to sign up.

Lastly, following requests for more regular updates, Futura will start contacting customers directly by email in 2018.
