March Demo Day: Smarter Scheduling, More Flexible POS Workflows & Expanded Payment Visibility

Welcome to our March 2026 Demo Day. This session highlighted practical improvements across Rover’s scheduling tools, Point of Sale workflows, Scan usability, and payment handling in Customer Inquiry and Accounting.

This month’s updates focused on flexibility, consistency, and day-to-day usability. From operation splitting on the scheduling board to more customizable shipping workflows, better quote visibility, and expanded payment history access, these enhancements are designed to help teams work more efficiently while keeping Rover aligned with the way real businesses operate.

Here’s what’s new:

Production Scheduling: Operation Splitting in Rover Web

The scheduling platform now supports splitting operations in Rover Web, giving planners more control over how work is scheduled across time.

Users can now take a single operation on a work order and split it across multiple time intervals. This is especially helpful when a job needs to span multiple days or work around holidays, weekends, or other non-working periods. When enabled, users can split an operation as they place it on the board, reschedule it across multiple intervals, or split it while editing existing time intervals.

This feature is opt-in through control settings, which gives teams the flexibility to adopt it only if it fits their scheduling process. For companies managing more complex production timelines, it adds a new layer of precision without changing the backend support Rover already had in place.

Point of Sale: More Flexible Shipping Workflows

Rover POS now gives users more control over how shipping is handled during order processing.

What was previously labeled as “Ship Order” and “Partial Ship” has been updated to “Quick Ship” and “Detailed Ship.” More importantly, administrators can now choose which option is enabled, disable either one entirely, or decide which experience appears as the default when users click the shipping button.

The Detailed Ship process also now supports an additional shipping information form. This allows teams to define custom prompts for shipping-related data, such as header details or workflow-specific requirements, using forms already controlled on the host side. That means businesses can tailor the shipping experience for their own processes without requiring web updates every time something changes.

This is a meaningful improvement for teams that need more flexibility in fulfillment workflows, especially when integrating Rover with non-standard or non-Rover backend processes.

Point of Sale: Better Quote Cart Visibility

The March update also improves visibility when working with quotes inside Point of Sale.

Previously, users could configure additional cart fields for sales orders. That same capability is now available for quotes, allowing teams to surface quote-specific fields directly in the cart view. These fields are controlled in MRK Control and can be tailored to the data each business wants front and center.

The cart layout itself has also been improved. Field placement is now more dynamic, reducing unnecessary scrolling and making better use of wider screen space. The result is a more user-friendly quote experience that helps teams review information faster and with less friction.

Rover Scan Usability: “Select on Focus” Is Coming Soon

One upcoming enhancement previewed during the Demo Day was a small but meaningful usability improvement for Rover Scan and other web-based forms.

A new user setting called Select on Focus will automatically highlight the full field value when a user clicks into an input. This makes it much easier to overwrite values cleanly, especially in quantity fields where users were sometimes typing into the middle of an existing number by mistake. If a user wants to edit the value manually, they can simply click again and place the cursor exactly where they want it.

This feature will default to enabled for users who have not previously changed the setting, and it is intended to make data entry feel more natural and more consistent with Rover Desktop behavior. While it was not part of the immediate production release, it was previewed as part of the following release.

Customer Inquiry & Accounting: Expanded Payment Methods

One of the biggest workflow improvements in this session centered on payments.

Historically, payment entry in Customer Inquiry and Accounting AR was more limited than Point of Sale, supporting only credit card and ACH/e-check payments. Rover is now consolidating those payment methods and interfaces so those areas behave much more like POS. That means users can work with a broader range of tender types, including cash and check, depending on the controls configured in the system.

This change creates a more streamlined and consistent experience across the application. It also opens up additional capabilities, such as adjusting discounts during invoice payment, using the same general logic teams were already accustomed to in Point of Sale.

The overall goal is simple: wherever users accept payments in Rover, the experience should feel unified and complete rather than fragmented by module.

Payment History in Customer Inquiry and Accounting

The March Demo Day also introduced improved visibility into payment history.

In Customer Inquiry, users can now access a table of payment history for a specific customer, including cash entries that have been created for that account. From there, they can download a receipt view or email the cash receipt directly.

Accounting now also exposes payment history with sorting and filtering capabilities, along with a read-only detail view for individual cash records. This gives accounting users a clearer way to review historical payment activity without needing to jump through older desktop-style workflows. The accounting view is broader, while Customer Inquiry remains customer-specific, and additional UI refinements were noted as still in progress.

Why It Matters

This month’s Demo Day was full of practical updates that improve the way teams interact with Rover every day.
Operation splitting gives production teams more flexibility when scheduling real-world work across multiple time blocks. POS shipping improvements make fulfillment workflows more configurable. Quote cart enhancements bring better visibility where users need it. Scan usability updates help reduce input frustration. And the expanded payment experience brings more consistency and visibility to Customer Inquiry and Accounting.

Taken together, these updates show Rover continuing to move in a practical direction: modernizing workflows without forcing businesses to abandon the processes that already work.
