You will also need to raise a PO for the agreed commercials.

Stores go live - with remote training 

30 - 60 minute virtual meeting.

When it’s time to go live, we’ll train your stores via a 30-60 minute virtual training workshop.


We recommend sending a store manager and a power user from each store. You may also choose to send your internal trainers so they can train further stores and provide refresher training sessions.


After the training session, we’ll send a customised training video for you to use. We can also make this accessible to your stores at any time from the ‘training” tab within our app.


Qudini is really simple to use and most stores take just 2 hours to become native with the app.
