After taking a couple of months off major releases to focus on various smaller tweaks and bug fixes, Readysell is on the road again with Readysell 8.32. Rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers over the next few days, we’ve focused delivering some core usability improvements to help you get the most out of the data already in your system.
Get behind the driver’s seat with dashboards
Readysell may be on the road, but we want you along for the ride. Our new dashboards have been designed to put the most relevant information in front of you as soon as you start Readysell. We’ve designed dashboards for each of the key organizational roles that use Readysell – from managers and sales people, to service technicians and warehouse staff. Please keep in mind though, our dashboards currently are on their L plates. If you have any suggestions on how we might improve them, we’d love to hear from you.
Better serve your customers with price calculator improvements
We’ve improved the flexibility of the price calculator by making it accessible from any screen and allowing you to easily switch between products. The price calculator can now be accessed on any screen from the “Tools” ribbon tab. From here, you can choose any customer/product combination, helping you to look good in front of your customers.
Reduce back orders and save time with substitution recommendations
No one likes a back order, especially when it can be avoided with a simple substitution. The “Substitute” button has a new “Recommend” feature which will quickly bring up a list of stocked products in the same category with a similar sell price to the original. This makes it painless to substitute, especially when dealing with diverse products (such as the endless aisle range).
Seamlessly handle back orders at POS with the “Order” button
When using Readysell at point of sale it is common to work from the shipments screen. This works great when the scanning in products, but what happens if the customer tells you they want something ordered in as well? Now, we have a convenient “Order” button on the shipment screen which will convert the sale shipment into a sale order with a single click. If you have retail sales, using this feature will speed up your sales process. It simplifies POS sales as all transactions can start as a sale shipment, then convert to a sale order with one click if required.
Increase your average order size with cross-sell suggestions
Readysell can inform your customer service staff when there is an opportunity to cross-sell a related product when entering an order. If Readysell finds a relevant product, a small “Cross-Sell Available” notification will display. If the user clicks the notification, that product will be added to the order. Never miss out on an opportunity to cross-sell again! We’ve worked hard to make sure cross-selling doesn’t get in your way, but if you’d like to turn it off regardless, please contact Readysell.
