News

We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.49 (codename Lefroy) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is focused on warehousing improvements and fulfilling some recent customer requests on the Readysell Forum. We encourage you to take some time to review these release notes to understand how you can make use of them.

Easily manage your multi location warehouse with stock location transfer scanning

We’ve added support for barcode scanners to stock location transfers. You can now scan the “From Location” followed by the product, followed by the “To Location” and Readysell will ensure a stock location transfer is generated accordingly. This can be especially useful if you receive stock into a staging area before moving it into your warehouse.

Better engage customers with Customer Business Review report improvements

The Customer Business Review report is a great way to engage with your existing customers and improve share of wallet. We’ve improved the existing Customer Business Review report with the following changes:

• Ability to run the report for multiple customers at once
• Ability to run the report for a defined period of time (by running the report with parameters from the “Form Reports” screen)
• Total sales and average sales summary values
• Category breakdown table with dollar value per category
• Order breakdown table with number of and value of orders per month
• Highlighting of “own brand” products in the top 20 tables
• Ability to exclude specific non-stocked products from the report (for example, freight charges)
• Performance improvements

Update your stock faster with stock quantity adjustment improvements

We’ve added the ability to type in the new quantity (as an alternative to the adjustment quantity) on stock quantity adjustments. This is especially useful for stores that do not use multiple locations as you can now use stock quantity adjustments as a simple alternative to stocktakes.

General Stationery Supplies EDI coming soon

We’ve been working with General Stationery Supplies to enable hybrid EDI ordering. This means you’ll be able to get your order in quicker and with the confidence that the stock you require is available. We’re in the final stages of testing, once we’re ready to roll this out a member of the Readysell support team will be in touch to assist with setting up this useful and time-saving integration.

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 8.48 (codename Kati) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. Once again, this release is focused on service improvements and fulfilling some of the most popular requests on the Readysell Forum. We encourage you to take some time to review these release notes to understand how you can make use of them.

Important: API changes for third party integrations

Due to some underlying changes in the Readysell Server, customers who integrate with the following systems will require some changes to their configurations to ensure integration works as normal. A Readysell team member should get in touch with you to ensure this configuration change is conducted:

• B2BE EDI
• Mailgun
• Print Audit
• Any iCal-based calendars

Automate your document management with file attachment watching

For customers who have scanners that can automatically name files, you can now configure Readysell to watch a directory where these files are dropped and automatically import these attachments and associate them with the appropriate Readysell records. This can be done by using either the transaction number or the barcode on the scanned documents. Now, you’ll never lose those important documents.

Avoid confusion with purchase order improvements

You’ll now be able to manually mark a purchase order as sent – automatically updating the status to “In Progress”. You’ll also be able to re-open a purchase order if you’ve made a mistake.

Improve your service agility with mobile app improvements

Technicians can now see unassigned service calls and calls assigned to other users in the mobile app. Now, you won’t need to have a call re-assigned for another tech to be able to pick it up and work on it.

Customise the overdue notice on your customer statements

Readysell’s default statement shows a notice at the bottom if your customer has any overdue open items. We’ve added some system references that allow you to change the wording of this notice and change the balance threshold that needs to be reached before the notice is shown.

Import meter charge spreadsheets from Canon and Fuji Xerox into meter count runs

We have added the ability to automatically generate meter count runs based on Recipient Created Tax Invoices (RCTI) from Canon, Canon CSG and FXP. For customers with relationships with these organisations, you’ll no longer have to type in counts manually each month.

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 8.47 (codename Jasper) is rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. Once again, this release is mostly focused on under the hood improvements, however we’ve highlighted a few important new features requested by users that we’ve managed to fit in as well. We encourage you to take some time to review these release notes to understand how you can make use of them.

Important: Microsoft .NET 4.7.1 is now required

Over the last few months, you may have noticed a message on your screen warning you to update your .NET Framework. If you’ve been seeing this message and ignoring it, now is the time to act. As of Readysell 8.47, we have updated our Microsoft .NET Framework requirement. If you are yet to update your .NET Framework, download Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1 and install this on your PC.

Set up customers to send statements and invoices to different contacts

Sometimes you’ll have customers who want statements and invoices to be sent to a different email address. To facilitate this, we’ve added a new flag to contacts called “Statement Recipient”. This flag will be automatically turned on for any contacts marked as “Accounts Payable”, but can be turned on/off independently if required.

Save time by setting notes to automatically expire

Notes are a great way to store timely information against customer cards and products, and can be a useful tool for popping up information for the operator when entering sales. To reduce maintenance, we now allow setting an “Expiry Date” on notes. After this expiry date passes, the note will be automatically archived.

Easily re-send emails from your message log

Readysell tracks all your outbound emails in the “Messages” area. Sometimes, a customer may ask for a message to be re-sent though. Whether it’s to the same address, or some other address, you can now click the “Copy Email” button on the messages list view to copy the current email into a new message.

Happy New Year from the whole team at Readysell! To kick things off, we’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.46 (codename Illawarra) is about to begin rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release is mostly focused on under the hood improvements, however we’ve highlighted a few import new features requested by users that we’ve managed to fit in as well. We encourage you to take some time to review these release notes to understand how you can make use of them.

Share screen customisations with your team more efficiently with model customization improvements

A popular feature of Readysell is the ability to highly customize your screen layouts and share these in your organizaiton. In this release we’ve greatly improved the ability to share screen customizations with your staff. In Readysell’s administration area, you’ll now see a new “Model Customizations” menu item. From here you can select any user, and then copy their customizations to one or more other users. You can even choose to merge change (rather than override) so that they don’t lose any customizations they’ve made themselves.

Quickly pay multiple invoices at once with customer payment scanning

A common request, especially around back to school season, is to provide an easy way to pay for multiple invoices at once. If a customer comes in with multiple invoices, you can now bring up a new customer payment and scan the invoice barcodes. The invoices will be automatically added to the payment and the relevant details will be automatically populated.

Improve your retail operations with zone-based stock allocation

In the past, dealers who have a retail area have been limited to using a single location if they wanted their POS to automatically default the location of entered products to the retail area. Now, you can set up a new “zone” in to represent the retail area and assign as many locations to that zone as you like. Then, set that zone as the default on any POS workstations and Readysell will automatically select those locations when allocating stock at POS. This will ensure your warehouse continues to run smoothly while you perform retail sales.
