Obamacare brings in the best and the brightest from Google, Oracle, AMAZON to fix problems... I bet anything that Amazon was working a little overtime today!
I'm laughing so hard right now, I'm a business system architect that was interviewed a few months back to upgrade the POS system...but obviously the cheap Indian labor with fake resume was hired for the contract! Maybe once Apple managers jump off the old, actually costly model, and near-shore or hey hire Americans the attrition rate of Apple customers would dissipate. Wake up a Apple and pay for quality labor! -MH

What the eff are you talking about. The POS are at Apple retail stores and it was built by Apple.
Any store should be able to take money for products from customers when their POS system goes down or the internet does not work or whatever. I run into this more and more and it seems insane to me.
They can, for some products. But the system that validates personal pickups is a tad more complex. As is doing OOW repairs. Those were what was really affected. And phone sales apparently.
And it wasn't all stores. It was West Coast US mainly. So it was unlikely to be $25 mil in losses between all the factors. And as many have said, people tend to come back when it's Apple, whether out of stock or system issues, so they will recover.

Only, single troll post.
His point was that Apple like many companies are hiring off shore programmers to do their systems. This very well maybe true. Most of these people have minimal experience doing these kinds of systems but they can through 10 people at it for the cost of 1 experience person in the US. It is the way of the future and why these systems do not always work so well.

The POS is a customized integrated system to Apple HQ ERP as the other person posted, as the Apple Store App interfaces with iTunes, Finance, CRM, Ops, Supply Chain... There is an important effort to upgrade all the business processes, documentation, and a refresh of the app to align (catch-up) the POS system to iTunes group development -which all sit on a heavily customized SAP architecture. Apple has a BPR team to ensure this happens correctly and from having multiple buddies internally and the result of the incompetent managers in that team are evident with the article, e.g. choosing cheap unskilled labor without the the credentials or energy to keep the pace with Apple culture. They were able to update the Apple Store App successfully but only an efficient architect would map all that's needed properly. Do your HW before you name call a troll. If you would search Dice.com or Apples site for positions at Apple HQ and sift through the job descriptions, they tell a story on internal "business" projects.
These Inventory & Other Features, Customer Tracking & Labels, Employees & Security, Help & Support features together gives you a solid POS system that will help your business improvement.

More was out. For me, Maps was out & Siri was out around that time.
There's an AI article here about it:
