'Offline' Connections to HirePOS

Welcome to our guide on maintaining a reliable connection while using HirePOS! As a cloud-based application, HirePOS requires a stable internet connection to function effectively. In this article, we’ll share some helpful tips to combat internet issues and power outages, ensuring you can continue to use HirePOS seamlessly.

If you're concerned about potential internet outages, there are a few strategies you can employ:

• Many modern Internet Routers come equipped with a 4G/5G mobile SIM "fallback." This feature can help you stay connected during outages.

• In case of a more severe disruption, consider using your mobile phone as a hotspot to connect to the internet.

• If your internet connection is frequently unreliable, you might want to explore options like a Starlink mini satellite as a secondary backup or even as your primary internet source. There are several satellite services available that you can investigate.

To ensure your devices remain powered during outages, it’s essential to have a reliable backup system in place:

• Invest in an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for your desktop devices. These can be found at most electronics retailers and will keep your equipment running during power interruptions.

If all else fails and you find yourself in a situation where the entire area is experiencing a blackout, it’s likely that communication networks will also be down. In such cases, staying informed can be challenging.

To help you manage your schedule even when offline, consider using iCal feeds. This feature allows you to check your calendar and see upcoming jobs without needing an internet connection.
