In Readysell 8.31, rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers over the next few days, we’ve focussed on under-the-hood improvements to help with performance and reliability. We have, however, managed to slip in a few new features to tide you over until our next release.

Empower your delivery drivers with the Readysell Mobile app

We’ve added deliveries to the Readysell mobile app. Delivery drivers can access delivery runs created in Readysell and accept proof of delivery from customers. You can even keep track of where deliveries are up to right from within Readysell! We’ve put together a short instructional video to get you started with this feature. Click here to learn more about or to download the Readysell Mobile app.

Keep information at your fingertips with improved Office Brands integration

Improved integration with the Office Brands data portal means you can now access your product’s attribute, cross-sell and up-sell data right from your Readysell product file. Right now, your sales and customer service reprentatives can use this information to help better serve your customers and in future versions we will be allowing you to make better use of this information in your sales process.

Better organize your customers and suppliers with card file improvements

You can now attach an image to a Readysell card to identify a company or individual. We’ve even improved our “Send Contacts to Outlook” feature to automatically add this image to your Microsoft Outlook® address book and have it show when you send or receive emails or accept phone calls from your customers.

Improve staff efficiency with user experience improvements

We’ve updated the default look and feel of Readysell to match the Microsoft Office® 2016 suite of applications. This means your users will feel comfortable when switching between Office® applications and Readysell.

In Readysell 8.30, rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers over the next few days, we’ve continued our focus on improving the usability of the service module, addressed some long-standing requests from our backlog and added new integrations to help streamline your business processes.

Reduce costs and improve customer satisfaction with toner tracking

We’ve added toner tracking to our service module. Whenever you sell toner supplies to a customer, we’ll keep track of the sale so that you know how many toners your customer has used and how how long it’s lasted. We’ve even integrated FM Audit so that Readysell can automatically generate an order when toner levels are getting low.

Streamline your payroll process with Readysell Payroll

Today we’re introducing Readysell Payroll, powered by KeyPay. Readysell Payroll is an online payroll system designed to make payroll simpler. It’s quick to set up, easy to use, affordable and fully integrated into your Readysell system. With unique features such as a cloud-based employee portal, time and attendance and automated superannuation, Readysell Payroll can drastically reduce your payroll overheads. Contact us today to learn more.

Automate your meter read imports with Print Audit integration

To ensure our customers have a range of options when it comes to Managed Print Services (MPS) systems, we’ve added support for Print Audit. With a variety of scan, fax and copy tracking tools, Print Audit has solutions ranging from externally connected hardware terminals to software that runs directly on supported photocopiers.

Avoid keying errors and customer frustration with web-based count capture

To improve ease-of-use and reduce user error, we’ve introduced an option to send customers a web link for meter count collection (instead of asking customers to reply to emails). Each customer has their own unique web link where they can update their meter counts at any time.

Reduce errors and streamline end-of-month with automated period maintenance

We’ve received feedback that opening and closing periods can be a hassle, and if forgotten, can lead to errors such as back-dated transactions. Readysell will now automatically open periods and automatically close periods once they have been completed.

Don’t forget!

A quick reminder about our post last week. With this version of Readysell, our minimum .NET Framework requirement has been updated to version 4.6. If you do not have an up-to-date .NET Framework, you will be unable to open Readysell on your PC. If you are unsure of what version of .NET you are running – we have created a small utility you can use. Download and run this utility to ensure you’re up to date, or to get you started on the upgrade process if you’re not.
