We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.55 (codename Raeside) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is focused on implementing feedback from the Readysell advisory groups and forums.

Keep your customers up to date with automatic supplier back order follow up

Readysell now has a new email batch called “Purchase Order Follow Up” which will email suppliers with back orders list of their overdue outstanding back orders and request a follow up. This email batch can be generated manually, or automatically on a recurring basis.

Streamline substitutions with automatic zero stock replacements

We’ve added a new checkbox for the associated product list called “Only When Zero Stock”. You can use this to flag a product to automatically replace with another product if it runs out of stock. This is not only useful for items which you may regularly substitute, but also in cases where a product has been superseded and you’d like the system to start substituting automatically once your existing stock has been extinguished.

Ensure you don’t forget customer back orders with back order notices

Sometimes customers will have back orders remaining in your system from a previous order when a new shipment is completed. Readysell can now notify you if this is the case to ensure you remember to send out these items at the same time as the order you are about to ship.

Accurately time your work with our built in labour timer

Technicians using the Readysell Mobile app are able to set the start/stop time of their work and Readysell will automatically fill this in onto service order activities. We’re now bringing this same function to the Readysell Windows client. On any open service order, you can click the “Start Timer” button to start a timer. When you click “Stop Timer” on that same service order, we’ll generate a service order activity based on this.

But wait, there’s more…

We’ve also made a number of other improvements and under-the-hood changes. Here’s a full list. If you’d like more details about any of the below items, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the Readysell Helpdesk.

• 14193 Split up machine contracts into service order and warranty contracts

We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.54 (codename Quipolly) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release continues our campaign to address long-standing customer requests from the Readysell forum.

Avoid confusion by copying sale notes onto the first shipment only

There are many scenarios where notes to be printed on shipments are relevant to the first shipment only (and not on subsequent shipments, which will be sent once back orders are fulfilled). For “External Notes” on sales, we now have a “First Shipment Only” check box which, when checked, will attach the note only to the first shipment, avoiding any possible confusion.

Control your automation with customisable weekend handling

Readysell allows you to automatically generate many types of transactions on a regular basis. You can do this on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. Sometimes though, you may want to generate on a particular day of the month, except if that day falls on a weekend. We’ve added “Weekend Handling” just for this case. You can now choose to generate transactions either on the Friday before or the Monday after if the transaction would normally fall on a weekend.

Configure new machines faster with automatic generation from purchase receipts

Readysell has long provided the ability to automatically generate machines from sales. We’re now extending this functionality to purchases as well. If you are receiving in stock for a machine product, you can select “Generate Machine” and we’ll automatically populate the details into a new machine.

Improve your sales reporting by excluding 100% discounted sales

Service dealers with machines on contract typically have labour, parts and toners discounted at 100%. The unfortunate effect of this is that these sale lines are included in reporting and cause negative GP%. To ensure sales reporting is accurate for these dealers, we now have a simple check box to exclude these sales from reporting and have the ability to calculate cubes without these sales being included.

But wait, there’s more…

We’ve also made a number of other improvements and under-the-hood changes. Here’s a full list. If you’d like more details about any of the below items, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the Readysell Helpdesk.

We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.53 (codename Perry) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release introduces a refreshed user interface and implements a number of long-standing customer requests from the Readysell forum.

Get up and running faster with our simplified user interface

We’ve freshened up our user interface and menus to make Readysell cleaner, easier to get around in and less confusing. Our menu is now flatter, so you can easily find what you’re looking for. We’ve also improved the mechanism for hiding the menu (so you can’t accidentally lose it). We’ve also made improvements to ensure Readysell works better on high DPI displays (such as those found on modern laptops and tablets).

Maintain margins with automated contract price management

You can now enable price management on any product-based contract. Readysell will automatically generate a new contract based on the rules that you’ve defined that will ensure prices are kept up to date. You can set up Readysell to notify sales people before the new contract becomes active so that they can review the pricing and make any necessary changes before it goes live.

Better manage open items with editable due dates and dispute flagging

We’ve added two new fields to open items that will help you better manage your open items.

• You can now edit the due date on a customer or supplier open item for cases where you may want to manually override the terms for an individual open item
• You can now mark an open item as “In Dispute”, stopping it from being automatically extracted onto payment runs and allowing you to track open disputes from customers

Ensure professional communications with email spell checking

We’ve enabled a spell checker for the Readysell mailer screen. Whenever you send outbound emails from Readysell you can now be confident that you haven’t made any embarrassing typos.

Secure your data with two factor authentication

You can now set up Readysell to use two factor authentication (via email or SMS) for any user. Just set the appropriate “Two Factor Method” on the user and they will be prompted upon logon to enter a unique code to access the system.

But wait, there’s more…

We’ve also made a number of other improvements and under-the-hood changes. Here’s a full list. If you’d like more details about any of the below items, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us through the Readysell Helpdesk.
