Today was one of those days where physical hustle meets tech setup—moving and deploying 50 brand new D3 Pro Point of Sale (POS) devices to our office. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes before a POS terminal ever sees its first sale.

Step 1: The Big Move (Elevator to the Rescue!)

First up: hauling 50 D3 Pro POS machines from downstairs storage to the upstairs office. Let’s just say, if I didn’t have an elevator, it would’ve been a serious cardio day. Luckily, I could load 12 D3 Pro boxes at a time into the elevator. Here’s how it all went down, literally and figuratively:

• Load 12 D3 Pro POS terminals onto a cart
• Roll them into the elevator
• Go up, take them out, and arrange them in the office
• Repeat trips until all 50 were upstairs

It added up to plenty of steps and quite a few sweaty trips, but having that elevator was a lifesaver!

Step 2: Ditch the Wood, Clear the Space

After moving the D3 Pros, I had to tackle all the wood packaging they came in. Took a solid chunk of time to break down the boxes, haul the packing wood out, and dump it. Trust me: tech jobs are not always as glamorous as they sound!

Step 3: Setting Up the D3 Pros for Action

The real fun starts here. With 50 POS terminals lined up like soldiers, it was time to get them into service:

• Connect and Power Up: Plugged each D3 Pro in and made sure they powered up correctly.
• Install Software: Processed each one with the installation of Esper (for device management) and Joe Coffee OS (for our awesome coffee shop POS services).
• Label Each Device: Printed and attached unique labels to every D3 Pro for easy tracking.
• Add to Inventory: Entered every device’s details into our inventory system, so they’re ready to be assigned and managed remotely.

Whether you’re in IT setup or retail management, you know these behind-the-scenes marathons are what keep everything running smoothly.
