Celerant Releases Software Version 2.8.2 to Overhaul Point of Sale Performance

Celerant Technology, a frontrunner in retail software and e-commerce solutions, has made a significant announcement with the release of its latest software update, version 2.8.2. This update, which is hailed as the most substantial in the company’s recent history, aims to completely transform the performance of retail operations through meticulous code refactoring and the introduction of powerful new features.

Addressing Retail Challenges

Ian Goldman, the President and CEO of Celerant, emphasized that this update is a direct response to the operational hurdles retailers encounter on a daily basis. In his statement, he proudly noted that the core components of the system have been fundamentally rebuilt, aimed at providing clients with powerful features that they have long been requesting. “The latest update combines our revamped point-of-sale refactoring with exciting new features, establishing a new benchmark in performance and functionality for retail businesses,” Goldman said.

Comprehensive System Overhaul

At the heart of the version 2.8.2 update lies an extensive overhaul of the point-of-sale software. This comprehensive revamp significantly enhances how the software manages data and executes transactions. By eliminating risks associated with data corruption, especially during simultaneous access from multiple devices, retailers can now expect improved reliability. The revamped codebase discards outdated components, optimizing system performance for a faster startup time and dependable day-to-day operations.

New Features Drive Retail Efficiency

Beyond the fundamental performance improvements, the update introduces an impressive suite of new functionalities to both the Cumulus Retail and Stratus Enterprise platforms. Users are now able to benefit from enhanced integrations, such as the Smartwaiver integration directly within the point-of-sale system and advanced Astro integration features that streamline presenting rewards and offers during checkout. Additionally, the new update includes flexible product-level field customizations that cater to the specific needs of retailers.

Operational efficiencies also receive a boost with features such as enhanced purchase order search capabilities based on product details, expanded options for customer order status, and refined filtering functionalities for managing training classes. Michele Salerno, Chief Growth Officer at Celerant, noted, “The release of version 2.8.2 is a testament to our commitment to delivering both speed and reliability, alongside powerful tools that enhance customer service and accelerate business growth.”

Advanced Features in Stratus Platform

For Stratus users, the update comes with an additional set of advanced features, including sophisticated referral prompts designed to capture customer details right on the receipts, the capability to attach artwork to existing sales orders, as well as enhanced analytics that provide deeper insights into data. Users also have the flexibility of overriding consignment payout percentages for individual items, further customizing operations to suit business needs.

Setting New Standards for Retail Tech

The combination of significant system improvements and innovative features solidifies this update as a new standard for what retailers should anticipate from their software platforms. With version 2.8.2 now available for all Celerant point-of-sale users, the company has also prepared training materials and support resources designed to help retailers maximize the benefits of these robustness enhancements.
