Today we have shipped a new update to OneOS that includes a host of updates including new fields on customer sites to help you track the re-opening of venues following the Coronavirus pandemic.
You can track the status of each venue (independent of the existing site status) and log the dates contact was made, potential re-opening dates and follow up dates.
These new tools will be available for the next 12 months in OneOS.
Update to see everything that has been added in this version, 2.0.12.0.
Due to the ongoing situation with coronavirus and the shutdown of the pub & leisure industry, in order to support our customers as much as possible we are halting all software licence charges on our products.
Customers will still be able to use our products without restriction and we are still available to provide support. Our team are now working from home in line with advice to help stop the spread of the disease.
If we can help any other machine operators who are not currently using the OneOS system please get in touch, this may be a great time to see how our software can help your business once we all get going again.

With visibility across your machine estate you can ensure your machines are available for play, free from faults and maximising your income. With real-time data you will see any potential issues with your machines before they are reported by the site.
With MDX Stream you can see when your machines are most played, the denomination of credit from coin and note breakdown, helping to combat potential hopper starvation. You can see income from your whole estate or individual machines, showing cash take, pay-out amount and percentage performance, net earnings, hopper levels, refills and much more.

Select the option you wish to open the related selection. If you move the mouse from the list, it will automatically close.

Once you receive the update make sure you take a few moments to get to know the new layout and where all your usual menus are now located.
