Replace kit items with the kit components on sales

Sales now has the ability to replace the kit item line with the kit components itself making it easier for staff to identify what is required to be shipped to the customer.

Improved the use of competitor prices on quotes

We have now added the ability to easily compare pricing with a competitor.
We have also created a competitors quote layout showing the customers what they are saving if they purchase with your store.

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 8.57 (codename Torrens) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is focused on implementing some important backend enhancements, as well as actioning feedback from the Readysell forums.

Always be up to date with the latest supplier stock data with RS3 2.0

We’ve updated the Readysell Supplier Stock Service (RS3) to ensure you always have the latest available supplier data in your system. Going forward, RS3 will be able to update the supplier codes and costs in your price book and product file on a daily basis, and supplier stock levels will pushed directly into your system to expand where you’re able to surface this data within Readysell.

Automatically apply your early payment discounts to supplier payments

To ensure you take full advantage of your supplier’s early payment discounts, you can now set up multiple supplier payment terms – one for regular payment, and another for early payment. When you pay early, Readysell can automatically apply your supplier’s early payment discount to the supplier payment.

Communicate more effectively with internal line notes

Sales and purchases now have a new “internal” line notes field, which lets you add line notes which will be visible in the system and in internal documents (such as picking slips) only – not on external documents (such as delivery dockets or tax invoices). This is great when you want to call out special instructions about a specific line, but don’t want this being shared with the customer/supplier.

Automate all your recurring billing with sale run enhancements

You can now set up sale runs to automatically recur every week, fornight, month, quarter or year. This is great for generating regular invoices for services. Just set a recurrance start date, whether you wish to recur based on weeks or months, and then how frequently you wish your recurrances to occur.

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.

Start common tasks quicker with function key navigation

Readysell is now making use of the function keys to allow you to execute common scenarios or get to common screens more quickly. These keys are customisable, but by default you can now use the following:

• F2 – Show cards list
• F3 – Show products list
• F4 – New sale order
• F6 – New purchase order
• F7 – New sale shipment
• F8 – New purchase receipt
• F9 – Reprint last transaction

Reduce training and speed up with our new dedicated Point of Sale screen

In your navigation panel, under “Sales” you will now see a new option called “Point of Sale”. This will bring up a simplified screen for entering sales at POS.

We’ve eliminated many of the distractions that exist on the regular sale shipment screen which were not relevant specifically to Point of Sale scenarios and made the screen elements bigger and easier to see on smaller screens. We’ve also added buttons to quickly tender cash and card sales.

Based on feedback, over time we will continue to improve this screen to provide an even better POS experience.

Get your list and analysis reports delivered to your inbox automatically

Automate all the things!

Readysell has long allowed you to schedule form reports to automatically generate to a folder and to email/print the result. We’ve now extended this functionality to list reports and analysis reports. Click the “Schedule” tab on either of these reports and set up one or more scheduled parameters to execute on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Reduce errors with customer tender mode selection

Customer cards in Readysell can have a “customer tender” set against them. Historically, if this has been filled in, it meant that Readysell would always use this tender when a sale was entered for the customer.

There are, however, some scenarios where customers may wish to purchase with a specific tender the majority of the time, but change that on occasion (for example, a customer may walk in and wish to pay using cash or card instead of putting something on account).

To facilitate this, you can now set a “Tender Mode” on the card – either “Enforce” (the old behaviour) or “Default” – which will prepopulate the tender you’ve chosen into the tender screen, but allow the operator to change it if they wish.

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 8.55 (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.

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.
