We’re pleased to announce that Readysell 8.38 (codename Amadeus) is now rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers. This release improves the experience for new customers in the onboarding process to Readysell, aids in self-diagnosis of common support requests and reduces the pain of conducting end of day processes.
Understand automatic warehousing with the sale order log
One of the more frequent support queries received by our team is “what is automatic warehousing doing about this order”. Your teams are telling us they want an easy way to tell what is happening about an order. We have made this information easier to access. Now there is a tab on orders that can help you answer this question yourself. Clicking the new “Log” tab to the sale order screen, you can easily find out how automatic warehousing is interacting with each order in your system.
Be alerted of any change with generic action rules
One of Readysell’s policy directions over the next few months is to make Readysell “talk to you” through alerts when important things happen. The next step on that path is to allow you to generate alerts about things that interest you. Readysell’s action rule system can already notify you based on certain pre-defined triggers. We’re now expanding this by introducing “Generic” rules, that will allow you to be notified when any record in the system matches criteria you’ve defined yourself.
Save time and reduce errors by linking addresses to contacts
Readysell will now automatically pre-fill addreses onto an order that have been linked to a specific contact. If you have a customer with contacts at multiple addresses, you can link up each contact and avoid having to manually select both when entering an order. Adding contacts to orders also makes your sale orders more useful as a source of sales and other management information.
Avoid double-handling end of shifts by deferring cash counts
Retail sites often call us the next day and let us know about a cash count that was done in error. Now we are taking account of this human error factor by allowing you a do over on cash counts where possible. This makes managing end of day a lot simpler and more flexible for retail sites. You can now configure your system to allow cash counts to be performed after the shift has been ended. If your staff are unable to do a cash count immediately, they can still end the shift and then come back later and enter the cash count figures. This stops the creation (and innevitable correction) of count variances.
