Shuttle is Retail Orbit’s data collection and upload tool, designed to seamlessly transfer data from your Point of Sale (POS) system to Retail Orbit.

It’s faster, more reliable, and fully automated, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing errors.

If you're wondering, "What's the best way to get my data into Retail Orbit?"—the answer is Shuttle!

How Does Shuttle Work?

Shuttle is a lightweight software installed on the computer that hosts your POS system’s data.

Automatic Data Transfers

✅ Scheduled Uploads: Shuttle automatically retrieves and uploads data daily—typically after business hours when the POS system is not in use.

End-of-Month Processing

📅 On the last day of each month, Shuttle finalizes data and notifies Retail Orbit planners that the information is ready for analysis and planning.

Best Practices for Optimal Performance

🔹 Install Shuttle on the same computer that hosts your POS data for the fastest performance.
🔹 If installed on a secondary computer, data collection may take longer due to network delays.
🔹 Ensure the computer is powered on and connected to the internet when Shuttle is scheduled to run. Otherwise, the transfer will not occur.

With Retail Orbit Shuttle, data management is effortless, efficient, and accurate—allowing you to focus on growing your business!
