Hi, we were Impero but moved to Senso Cloud > https://www.senso.cloud/en-GB/prices Never looked back. Cheers.

I looked at this a while ago when we were with CRB Cunninghams linked to SIMS .net but moved to Civica when we changed MIS to Bromcom. Does Vericool fully integrate with Bromcom would you know ie. parents can use MCAS to top up lunch money with the balance appearing on the catering system, rather than it just being a user sync?

Hello folks, Noting the recent news that Blackstone is to acquire Civica; https://www.civica.com/en-gb/news-library/blackstone-to-acquire-civica-heralding-new-chapter-in-companys-journey-to-become-a-global-govtech-champion/ is anyone else having real difficulty in contacting their Cashless Catering Support? I can't say they've been the quickest to respond in the past, but at least they responded. I've had nothing back from a couple of emails, cannot get logged into the Self Service Portal and after a few attempts at ringing, the latter staying on hold for two hours (I was "number 1 in the queue") I couldn't get through at all. I've spoken to a acquaintance at another school who I know has Civica Cashless Catering and he has had the exact same issue of not being able to get through to Helpdesk from last week. I'm getting a bad feeling..... Regards. James.

Previously used Impero but have worked closely with Senso.Cloud and it's pretty awesome. No system is ever 100% but works for us.

Yes, I cannot help but feel that the two are linked in some way. Rolling latest Senso client out currently.

No alert received from Senso. Staff devices have had Senso client removed and looping refresh has disappeared. No sign-in nag complaints either.......

Ours has changed slightly, don't know if this is different or linked but staff and student Classroom, Drive, Sheets etc....are refreshing constantly without the sign-in nag. Page loads, then refreshes - vicious circle. Profile reset doesn't fix. Hot spotting to mobile device doesn't fix so also excludes a filter issue. Anyone else seeing similar this morning? Cheers.

Whilst I agree, in terms of the DfE providing the device, 'we' may not even have a choice. So little information generally not even who the service provider will be, very important - we have signal coldspots dependent upon provider, nor a mention of any usage limits other than supposedly none for educational resources but who knows.

In terms of plug in USB dongles, Google offers the following information https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3463300?hl=en-GB An external 4G router allowing tethering would IMO be better.

I think the OP may be referring to plug in USB rather than an external tetherable device.

Any news on the patch Phil?

Solarwinds IP Network Browser works a treat too.
