Learn how to connect Framing POS with Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar. Discover how to sync work orders, update due dates automatically, and track shop workflow.
Managing production flow in a busy custom framing shop requires a clear view of deadlines and order priorities. This video demonstrates how Framing POS integrates seamlessly with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar to keep your entire framing business organized. By connecting your point of sale system directly to your digital calendar, you ensure that every team member can monitor upcoming deadlines without constantly logging into the main software platform.
The demonstration walks through the initial setup process, which only requires a few clicks within the integration settings menu. Once the connection is authorized, any newly created work order automatically syncs to your calendar. The video also highlights the clever use of a street light color coordination system, where high-priority framing jobs appear in red, normal tasks show up in orange, and low-priority orders display in green.
Additionally, the integration features a bidirectional workflow loop. Each calendar event includes a direct View Source link that instantly takes you back to the specific work order inside Framing POS. If a customer requests a change or a due date needs to be extended, updating the order in your shop software automatically updates the entry on your calendar. This allows framing shops to display their daily schedules on large workshop monitors or let framing technicians check their schedules directly on their iPhone or Android mobile devices.
