📨 Purchase Order Emails: Brand-New Look
Your reps are about to think you hired a designer.
Purchase order emails sent to vendor reps got a complete visual overhaul. The old plain-text layout is gone — replaced by a sleek, branded HTML email with the TORO logo, a bold header card, and a clean items table. Each item shows its SKU as a subtle tag, quantities appear in teal pills, and the total stands out in its own card at the bottom. Notes and shipping info are neatly boxed underneath.
When you hit
Send or
Preview in the Purchase Order Editor, you’ll see the new design automatically. No settings to change — every PO email from this version forward uses the modern template.
How to activate: Automatic — just send a PO like you normally do from INVENTORY → PURCHASE ORDERS → Send
📦 Quick Inventory: Box Count Multiplier
Count boxes, not individual units.
Quick Inventory now understands boxes. When you scan or select an item that has a Master SKU defined (e.g., a box of 10), a new
Input Box Count field appears. Type how many boxes you have and the system instantly calculates the total — the formula shows live below the field (e.g., “3 x 10 = 30”). Press Enter to apply.
This works on both the initial count screen and the adjustment screen, so whether you’re doing a full inventory or just adding stock that came in, you can count by the case instead of doing mental math.
How to activate: Automatic for any item with a Master SKU. INVENTORY → QUICK INVENTORY or QUICK ADJUSTMENT → select an item with a Master SKU
💰 Sales Tax Report: Coupons & Discounts Broken Out
Coupons now have their own lane in the sales tax report.
Coupons and customer discounts now live in their own product category — “System Coupon” — separate from non-taxable product sales. This gives you a cleaner breakdown: the Non-Taxable column shows only actual non-taxable product sales, while coupons and discounts are tracked on their own.
A new
View Coupons & Discounts button (with the total right on it) lets you drill into every coupon and discount line item for the month. The “View Net Sales Non-Taxable” breakdown now shows only product sales, making it easier to see exactly what’s in each bucket.

⚡ Sales Tax Report: 10x Faster Loading
You used to be able to smoke a corona while waiting. Now it’s done before you get the cigar lit.
The Sales Tax Report used to take anywhere from 30 seconds to a full minute to load — long enough to wonder if something was broken. We completely rebuilt how it pulls your tax data behind the scenes, and the difference is night and day. What used to be a “go do something else and come back” screen now loads in a few seconds. Same report, same numbers, just dramatically faster.
🌐 TORO Retailers Map: 3-Tier Visibility
Pins, profiles, and gold stars — each store earns its spotlight.
The retailer map now has three tiers of store visibility. Stores that haven’t opted in show as a simple pin with no details — they’re on the map but anonymous. Stores that consented show their name and contact info when clicked. And featured stores with an approved review get a gold star and a full popup with their testimonial. The store review prompt also now includes a “Your Title” field so you can choose how you’re credited — “Owner,” “Manager,” “Tobacconist,” whatever fits.
🔍 New ARM Report: Item Customer History
See exactly who’s buying any item — and how much they’re spending.
Open any item’s details and click “Customer Purchase History” to see every customer who’s ever purchased it. The report shows purchase counts, total spending, date of last purchase, and average spend per visit — with a top-15 chart showing your biggest buyers at a glance. Sort by any column, search for specific customers, and export the whole thing to CSV. Also available from the ARM hub under Customer reports.
How to access: Item Details → Customer Purchase History button, or ARM → Customer Reports → Item Customer History
👥 Employee Settings: Fully Active
The settings you configure now actually control what happens.
The Employee Settings system introduced in v810 is now fully wired in. Every employee rule — comp limits, discount limits, pay rates, clock-in requirements, and more — now reads directly from the Employee Settings matrix. Change a setting and it takes effect immediately everywhere in the app. No restart, no delay.
Three new settings join the lineup:
Require Clock In — controls whether an employee gets a clock-in prompt at login. Default is ON for everyone. Turn it off for owners or part-timers who don’t need the nudge — they can still clock in manually from the Employee menu.
Show Statistics — controls whether an employee can see customer account statistics (purchase history, recommendations, top items) in the Account Finder. Default is OFF globally, ON for Admins. Keeps sensitive customer data visible only to the people who need it.
The Access Level Defaults editor now includes a summary in the bottom-right corner showing how many active employees are in each role, with click-to-view details. Makes it easy to verify your team structure before adjusting defaults.
How to configure: DASHBOARD → SETUP → EMPLOYEES → EMPLOYEE SETTINGS
💰 VGC Notification Threshold
Stop getting pinged about $0.03 gift card balances.
Virtual Gift Card notifications are useful — but not when they fire for every customer with a few pennies left from cash rounding. Now you can set a minimum balance threshold. Set it to $25 and your employees only get notified when a customer’s gift card balance is actually worth mentioning. Leave it empty to notify on any positive balance, same as before.
How to configure: DASHBOARD → SETUP → TRANSACTIONS → next to the “Notify Employee” checkbox
💬 Frustration Resolution
You told us what frustrated you. Here’s what we did about it.
When you reported a frustration in your store review, we listen — and now we follow up. After we’ve addressed it, you’ll see a “We Listened!” prompt at your next login showing what we did. Confirm it’s resolved, update your frustration with more detail, or snooze the prompt for 3 days if you’re busy.

🎨 Redesigned Date & Time Picker
Picking dates shouldn’t feel like filing taxes.
The date and time picker throughout the app has been completely redesigned. Modern teal styling with click-to-select fields and smooth popup selectors replace the old combo-box picker everywhere — from transaction timestamps to report date ranges. Same functionality, way better experience.

💳 Drawer Reports: Station Awareness
Which register? Now you can tell.
The Drawer Open/Close Reports screen now shows which station each record belongs to and lets you filter by station. Multi-station stores can quickly review a specific register’s drawer activity instead of scrolling through everything. Your current station is pre-selected by default.
How to access: DASHBOARD → REPORTS → DRAWER REPORTS
🛠 Under the Hood
- New Product Type: “System Coupon” now separates coupons and customer discounts from non-taxable product sales across all transaction item tables. Historical data migrated automatically on update.
- Export Fix: Fixed a pre-existing null pointer error when exporting sales tax subset views (View Out of State, View Comped, etc.).
- Coupons in Summary: The Sales by Payment Type report now includes a “Coupons & Discounts” line in the summary table.
- Database Performance: Smarter database connection management reduces wait times and improves reliability across the board.
- Internet Check: Faster, more reliable internet connectivity detection using a lightweight network check instead of loading a web page.
- Transaction Viewer: Now tells you why when a date is restricted by your “Max Days Back” setting, with a clear message and a one-tap “Set to earliest date” option instead of silently adjusting.
- Drawer Warning Fix: Fixed a false “drawer was not closed from the previous day” warning on secondary stations set to “use drawer at another machine.”
