Feature

Description

 ENTERPRISE

 

Multi-box support

Multi-box support added and fully supported within the ui and for a growing number of shipping services

Multibin support

Multibin support directly in the ui

Auto box selection.

Auto box selection. This will automatically take your pre setup boxes and figure out the fewest and smallest boxes required to ship the shipment. This is used in the shipment screen to pre-populate the boxes and even assign the products to those boxes and automatically calculate the weights for the boxes. (scale still supported). Obviously this seriously improves ship times by eliminating guessing on boxes and pre filling everything in. It also reduces cost by ensuring the fewest and smallest boxes possible. 

Customizeable Form Layouts

The screen is fully customizable to allow for whatever layout works best.

Fulfill Orders Process

A new screen under the business tab called fulfill orders gives you a much more detailed view of outstanding orders to be fulfilled with a much more interactive display that automatically updates. The flyout is still available as well.

Awaiting Other Orders

A new order fulfillment status is also added called awaiting other orders. This status handles the case of one order set to fulfill only entire order and other orders being able to be shipped using that order's allocated inventory. Typically the entire order only would never get shipped because it would never have enough inventory. This is especially true in low on hand inventory environments. The new status allows for an informed choice when shipping to mitigate this issue.

Orders Available Fast Refresh

Refresh of the orders available for shipping is approximately 200% faster while also providing more information.

Rate Quotes

The same auto box selection is also used for rate quotes which can result in much more accurate rate quotes from carriers. Especially for over sized and irregular sized objects.

Hazardous Materials flag

Added to products and is passed to carriers if supported.

Oversized Package flag

Added to products and is passed to carriers if supported.

UPS Worldship integration

The system will get rate quotes from the live rate quote system if configured and use UPS worldship to ship the order instead of direct shipping. You can choose the default direct ship or use worldship if you choose or only use worldship for specific types of shipping.

UPS Basic

Because of worldship integration we now support UPS Basic out of the box. This was an often requested service. Note that rate requests are no available for UPS basic. This is a limitation of worldship and UPS not us. 

LTL Freight

wordlship also allows all other shipping services that UPS does not support in their api including LTL freight.

Affiliate Management

extends capability, includes Network Structure management and Affiliate Reimbursement

Affiliate Reimbursement

 includes reimbursements by product, category of product, group and department, reimbursement wizard

Salesperson Management

Salesperson Management: integrates commissions, includes Employee Contracts and Commission Payment

Commission Payment

Supports almost any sales person reimbursement ruleset including by product, category, department, or group and at each item you can provide scale. This allows different reimbursements based on dollar amount of sales by percentage, or amount and you can do reimbursement by gross, net or gross profit.

Bill Pay Wizard

PCI Compliant Wallet function

New PCI compliant wallet function for all payment gateways. This means that if the gateway has their own wallet function we automatically use it. If not we fall back to our own PCI compliant implementation. The result is that it is easy to store card info and customers online can easily opt to store their cards for future use.

Single screen receive shipment window. 

The wizard is gone and the interface is simplified.

Year End Process

Improved g/l window

Easier to find entries and act upon them.

AutoPriority (Rank) added to Task list
