Redcat POS

Important:

The Redcat POS integration is available only to accounts where it is already provisioned. It is not included with the current SuitePeople WFM solution.

To set up the Redcat point of sales integration, you will need a Redcat login with access to API reporting. If you are unsure if you have access, contact your Redcat representative.

The fields refer to sales and units in WFM. From each list, select the corresponding fields that you want to fetch from Redcat.

Guidelines when Integrating Redcat with WFM

Note the following guidelines.

  • Sales will update in WFM once per hour.

  • WFM fetches data at a 15-minute resolution.

  • Each time WFM fetches data, all data are pulled for today. If sales change retrospectively, such as when discounts are applied after the fact, these will update the next time data is fetched.

  • If there is no data importing after data is fetched successfully, ensure the data appears in Redcat reporting, then try to fetch historical data. For more information, see

Fetching Historical Data from Redcat

After you first set up the Redcat integration you can fetch historical data to WFM. This data is not automatically transferred to WFM,

To fetch historical data from Redcat:

  1. Go to Workforce Management.

  2. Go to Setup > Integrations > Redcat.

  3. From the left-hand panel, click Fetch stats.

  4. Select the start and finish date of the period you would like to fetch. No date limit is applies.

  5. Select the locations with historical data that you would like to fetch.

If you are fetching data for a short period, such as one location for one week, the page updates to let you know when the process is complete.

If you are fetching data for longer periods, such as for multiple locations for more than two weeks, a message appears to let you know that the process is working in the background. WFM notifies you when the process is complete.
