myPOG - No Longer Available

Paging @mobilelady
Do you have any knowledge regarding this? Thanks.

 

[PackAndCry]

Really, my only issue here is that it'd be advertising "Hey team, I go on TBR!".

I would never let an ETL/TL catch me using that app

 

[RunForACallBox]

Totally interested in this. It would be great to find exact locations in other stores. I have an iPhone X if you wanted to test on that!

 

[IWishIKnew]

Why should they spend money on new or more devices when hey, almost everyone has a smart phone, just use that

Because knowing the shelf locations aren't the only things you can do with a device, and while this will make certain tasks easier for TMs, things like audits or SFS or what have you will still require devices. Plus, as has been noted, Target can't require to use your device and it's in Target's best interests to have TMs using the official devices.

I would use this (and am willing to be a tester!), for sure, but my store has also said they will have the ability to order more devices soon, so hopefully it would be just temporary.

Shoot me a PM with your email and I can get you testing.

I have the supposed sap numbers for myDevices and myCheckouts, but the price has been $27 instead of 600-800 like they told us. I went ahead and ordered some just in case.

Don't think those are on SAP as they are CAPEX orders that need DTL approval

I have an email from my GVP with the sap numbers that said you're allowed to order as much as your store can afford. You're allowed to go over allocations now

You could be ordering accessories for the myDevices. My store sometimes order by the given SAP number/name and got an accessory or something similar instead of the intended item. I still feel $27 is too cheap for something that usually cost around $200 to make unless Target did a bulk order of myDevices.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

Awesome, so far! I will use it for shopping

It's possible. The name on sap is 'my device fast ship' so I'm wondering if the $27 is the shipping fee and they charge the store a different way for the device

Think you'll get in trouble for spending $2500+? (Assuming by "some" its at least 4)

5 regular devices and 1 Checkout.
No. STL told me to order them.

If functional devices show up at your store, let us know. Until then I'll remain skeptical, because as others have said most equipment is a capex expense

I hope you have a good business lawyer. You’ll need em when Spot either offers you a promotion or drags you to court

promotion. If it works he will get a promotion.

 

[Flow Warrior]

Working off the clock much? Hope you enjoyed working for Target while you did...
My store the online shelf locations haven't been right since remodel.

Thats because someone hasn't cared to fix them.

He's right but not for the reason you think. I think it has to do with the repurpose of the apple mydevices for registry. Mydevices ARE a capex expense as are the gear that goes with him. However, since most of the apple ones were returned and refurbished, they could be sent out.
Tmap98 if you got a GVP permission to test this, thats awesome.

 

[taytay]

Build passes internal testing, released to Apple, and will drop to testers when approved. Thanks!
Those currently testing will have an update drop either today tonight or tomorrow with the following changes;
version 1.0.22-beta

• Fixed items with only two images, only allowing the user to view the first image
• Re-enabled a hidden development feature that gives you the same store information as the Target App/Site
  • This feature doesn't have many uses, but has come in useful for me and my IRL tester a handful of times
• A new white icon
• Hopefully fixed the top control bar on iPhone X
  • Unfortunately I do not really know if this worked or not as the iOS Simulator isn't correctly displaying the 'X' for me.

Still cut off on my X

Argh. Damn. Basically everything else is working almost perfectly. This is really the only big thing left.
That, and the random intermittent crashes on the first scan.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Also one suggestion is when the menu bar slides out, dim the background or add a drop shadow so you can tell it’s a slide out bar.

How fast should the locations change? I scanned an item and it gave a different location than what it was newly tied to more than a few hours after I had tied it. I’ll check it again when I go to work when something gets tied.

Honestly, I do not have a valid answer for this. Nothing is cached on my end. Every time you search for a new item, it polls from a Target service. I assume these services only update once a day.
This is the same reason you can search for the same items on the Target app and it will have the old location for a bit.

I’m not sure if it’s my store but I can never seem to get an item with an on-hand. I get the NaN which I’m guessing means N/A. It seems like a store issue since I see on-hands in all your guys screenshot.

Unfortunately the on hand is item based and I have no control over it. I tried that dpci at a few stores and none report ohq. Certain items are not tracked online. Typically food items are not, especially if they're vendors. If you send me a list of dpcis, I can see if there is a logic issue on my end, but it's likely just that the on hand isn't tracked outside the Target network.
