Readysell 8.29: Laying the service groundwork

Readysell

September 29, 2015

In Readysell 8.29, rolling out to all of our Readysell 8 customers over the next couple of days, we’ve focused on improving the usability of the service module and implementing some general usability tweaks to assist with common processes.

Improve the productivity of your service organization with service module improvements

In the the first of what will be a series of service module improvements, we’ve focussed on some general usability improvements (such as improved screen layouts) and laying the groundwork for service module integration into the mobile app, support for scheduling and service module reporting.

Get more out of modern devices with Windows 10 tablet mode support

Readysell will automatically detect if your Windows 10 PC has entered tablet mode (either manually, or if the keyboard is detached from your hybrid PC – such as a Microsoft Surface) and will seamlessly adapt its interface to a touch-friendly mode. This will allow you to more easily use Readysell with your fingers, while still providing you with the full power of the Readysell Windows application.

More easily spot and avoid errors with sale line highlighting

Readysell will now highlight any sale order lines or sale back order lines that have been placed for a discontinued product in red. This will allow you to either source the item from an alternate supplier or substitute with a ranged product.

Tidying up your product file and improving your EZCode compliance

Readysell

September 22, 2015

Cleaning tools The Office Brands 7-digit EZCode system has now been in place for a number of years, however we still hear from customers with established product databases about ways they can tidy up duplicate products and improve their EZCode matches.

Readysell can run a script against your data to find products on your system that have an existing EZCode and merge them with duplicates (such as products coded with a legacy supplier code). Tidying up your product file can not only lead to productivity gains (by reducing end user and customer confusion), but also improves reporting and business intelligence compliance.

The Readysell matching algorithm is based on the following criteria:

All bar codes that match on the right hand side
Bar codes that match on the right hand side where the two bar codes are different
All supplier codes that match on the right hand side
Supplier codes that match on the right hand side where the supplier codes are different
Bar code exact matches
Supplier code exact matches

If you are interested in Readysell assisting you with tidying up your product file, please open a ticket at our Support Centre.
