Two years ago, the usability experts at UseTree examined and improved the user-friendliness of our calendar. Now we are working with the team again to optimize the new cash register system from a usability perspective. After all, smooth and error-free processes are essential in everyday work.

To ensure this, UseTree will conduct user tests in the coming weeks. The aim of the user tests is to analyze the general user-friendliness, simplicity, error-proneness and learnability of the various cash register processes. We will also present the results of the tests here.

Background

The German Federal Ministry of Finance has set new requirements for cash register systems with its letter of November 26, 2010 (PDF), with which many service providers must be equipped by January 1, 2017 at the latest. These requirements include, among other things, the obligation to record and retain data.

With the letter of November 14, 2014 (PDF), the principles for the proper maintenance and retention of books, records and documents in electronic form as well as for data access (GoBD) are clarified. This means that the GoBD replaces the previously valid GdPDU.

We have responded to the new regulations and begun developing a digital cash register system that seamlessly integrates into the Belbo online calendar and meets the legal requirements. For example, you can access your existing services, products and vouchers and view corresponding statistics.
