  • Card Defender is now available for RMH
    • Only processor agnostic solution

    • Task Pads
    • Reports change to what RMS offered
  • RMH Release 3.5 Q3 2017

    • Pricing to be determined
  • RMH Web Services
    • Light weight POS client
    • Use on mobile devices
    • Android and iOS support
    • Available via app store/pricing to be determined 
  • Online Purchases of RMH and related hardware
    • RMH website will allow for online purchases (coming late summer 2017)
    • Sale still needs to be completed by a certified RMH Partner
  • More training and users guide documentation coming soon
Great to see the "roadmap" and successes specific to Retail Management Hero as well as RMH Central! I'm excited as this opens the door to Microsoft Dynamics RMS HQ users who would rather not invest in a new POS system and have to start from scratch with all their data (and training, setup, expenses, ect). 

My personal advise specific to RMH Central is to wait until the program has stabilized before deploying - this likely means waiting until Q1 2018 (and I already have multiple retailers lined up to do this!).

Confused? Have questions? Need advice?  Contact me at 208-340-5632 or kevinantosh@gmail.com as I do work for a tier one Microsoft Dynamics Partner (RMS, HQ and Dynamics 365) who is also fully certified to sell, install, and support Retail Management Hero.
