Opportunity:
Flyntlok Administrators have requested the ability to send emails from Flyntlok using their company email, rather than having emails come from a Flyntlok address. Many recipients were confused when they got an email from Flyntlok rather than from their dealer.
Solution:
We have added a "Microsoft" setting to the "Integrations" page that will allow Administrators to connect a company’s Microsoft Office 365 account within Flyntlok. Once connected, your emails will come from that that address rather than from a Flyntlok address.
This feature is available when emailing:
The Office 365 email address will not be included in emails sent from the “Quick Hit” link on the Lead Dashboard. (This feature is limited to one Microsoft email account per tenant.)
Opportunity:
From the "Actions" drop-down menu of the "Lead Dashboard" page users are able to create new linked transactions, such as Sales Quotes, Rental Contacts, and Work Orders. Sales people have requested the "Sales Quote" option be replaced with a "Sales Order" because our workflow does not allow for orders to go straight to quote status.
Solution:
We have replaced the "Create Sales Quote" option with "Create Sales Order" on the buttons drop-down menu.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers have requested the ability to choose whether to include “Pending Stock” quantity (the order quantity of Items on the “To Be Ordered” board) with the "Flyntlok Recommended Quantity" when creating new Purchase Orders from the Draft PO page. They also would like the "Pending Stock" quantity from "To Be Ordered" and Stock from "Recommended Quantity" to be displayed on separate lines on the Purchase Order.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the “Flyntlok Settings” page, allowing Administrators to apply alternate allocation strategies to the “Draft Purchase Order” page. Administrators will be able to choose from three options; “Do Not Allocate Pending Stock,” “Allocate All Pending Stock From Recommended QTY,” and “Add Pending QTY to Recommended QTY.”
This is the original behavior and will serve as the default Allocation Strategy. Flyntlok will only use the Recommended QTY.
Quantity of "Pending Stock" on the "To Be Ordered" board is fulfilled from the Flyntlok Recommended Quantity. Example-"To Be Ordered" shows a quantity of 3, "Flyntlok Recommended Quantity" is 5. You still only order 5, and the 3 others are pulled off of the "To-Be-Ordered" board.
Example-"To Be Ordered" shows a quantity of 3, Flyntlok "Recommended Quantity" is 5; Quantity of 8 is ordered.
Opportunity:
Purchasing managers have requested the ability to scan Item via a barcode scanner when receiving Items on a Receiving Voucher.
Solution:
We have added a "Scan Mode" to the "Item Receiving Voucher." When "Scan Mode" is activated Scanning items via a UPC, EAN, or Item Number will open the Voucher’s Receiving modal for that item. Flyntlok will display a "Duplicate Items Found" error message if an item is scanned more than once. Note- During scan mode other inputs are disabled except for the Receiving modal window.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers have requested the ability to use a barcode scanner to enter Machine Serial Numbers when receiving Machines on a Machine Purchase Order.
Solution:
We have added a "Scan Mode" to the Machine Receiving Voucher, which will allow users to quickly scan Machine Serial Numbers via a barcode scanner based on the Model. "Scan Mode" can be activated by selecting the icon.
Opportunity:
Machine Purchase Orders in a "Partially Received" status are eligible to be "spilt", which takes the received Machine(s) and moves them to a new PO. Flyntlok Purchasing Managers have requested we add a message to the original Purchase Order to indicate a "Split PO" action has been taken.
Solution:
We have added an informational message to the "Notes" section of the Machine Purchase Order to indicate the PO has been split. Flyntlok will display a "Split To" message on the original Purchase Order and a "Split From" message on the New PO. This message will provide a link to the referenced order.
Opportunity:
We recently added the "Upcoming Maintenance" report to the "Machines" Tab of the Left-Hand Navigation Menu. This report displays a list of upcoming scheduled Machine maintenance and provides information on the Machine and upcoming service. Service managers have requested we add additional categories to the report to track the Customer Name and Customer Unit Number.
Solution:
We have added columns to display "Customer Unit Number" and "Machine Owner", when available, to the "Upcoming Maintenance" report.
Opportunity:
The “My Work” tab of the Mobile View displays Work Orders assigned to individual Technicians from the Work Order. Service Technicians have requested we also include the Work Orders assigned via the Service Calendar to the “My Work” tab.
Solution:
We have incorporated Work Orders assigned to Service Technicians via the Service Calendar into the "My Work" tab of the Mobile View. The "My Work" tab will now be broken into two sections: "My Assigned Work" will display Work orders assigned to techs directly from the WO, and "My Scheduled Work" which will display WO assigned from the Service Calendar.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok currently provides users the option to create copies of Sales Orders by clicking the "Copy" button from the "Payment" tab. Salespeople have requested the ability to also copy invoices associated with Service Work Orders.
Solution:
We have added the "Copy" option to "Final" invoices generated for a Work Order.
Complaint:
Flyntlok users had experienced an issue where accounting information was prefilled on the "Item Creation" page before selecting the item's "Vendor".
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. The Accounting section of the Item Creation page will remain blank until a Vendor is selected. Flyntlok will then display the accounting information for the selected Vendor. If no accounting information is saved for the selected Vendor, Flyntlok will fall back to the "Vendor Default” settings set on the "Flyntlok Settings" page.
Complaint:
Purchasing Managers generating Labels from the Item Purchase Order had noticed a discrepancy between Item Labels printed in bulk and Labels printed for an individual Item, where bulk labels were generated with a bar code and individual labels with a QR code.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. All Items Labels will have the same display, whether printed individually or in bulk, from the Purchase Order or from the items Dashboard.
Complaint:
Service Technicians had reported an issue where Work Order forms were not saving information when edits were made from the Mobile View. In this scenario, the Technicians could add and edit Work Order Forms associated with Service Jobs, but when attempting to save (by clicking the icon in the top right corner of the Form), the edits are not actually saved. (OK, that seems like an obvious thing. How did we miss that? Yeah, well pobody’s nerfect.)
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Edits made to Work Order "Forms" associated to Service Jobs will persist when the Save button is selected.

Opportunity:
Rental Managers servicing multiple branch locations have requested the ability to configure and edit the "Billable Duration" of a Rental Contract based on the company's branch location. They asked that when a specific branch location is selected from the "Location" field of the Rental Contract, Flyntlok would automatically apply the "Billable Duration" based off the location's configuration.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the "Rental Settings" section of the "Flyntlok Settings" page, allowing Users to set different customized billable durations for different branch locations.
From the "Durations" tab of the "Rental Settings" page Flyntlok will display, and allow users to edit, the current Duration settings of your primary location. To edit the Duration settings of an alternate location, click the "Change" button and select a specific branch from a list of all locations.
Users will also have the option to create a "Default" configuration that can then be applied to alternate branch locations by selecting the "Apply Default Settings" button. If no location configuration exists, Flyntlok will use the existing values set on the "Default" configuration from the "Rental Settings" page; if no values exist from "Rental Settings", the billable duration will fall back to the predefined “Flyntlok Default" duration of (28) calendar days per month and (7) calendar days per week.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested the ability for Users to create quick notes about a Contract that can only be viewed internally. Currently, any comments added to the “Notes” field of the Rental Contact can be seen by the Customer in printed reports.
Solution:
We have added an "Internal Comments" field to the Rental Contract's left bar, located under the existing “Note” section, which will allow Users to log internal notes relating to the contract. Flyntlok will display the most recent comment and provide a button that will open the "Activity Tab" and allow users to view all internal comments.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok allows Users to add “Consumable Items” to the Rental Invoice for items such as fuel, oil, batteries, and fluid and to apply a cost based on the quantity used. Rental Managers have requested the ability to set the quantity of the Consumable upon the Check-In of the associated Machine rather than having to manually calc the Consumable Charge based on the quantity consumed at Check out/in.
Solution:
We have added a new Consumable “Measurement Style” for (Quantity-Based) billing, which will allow Users to charge based on the amount consumed, which is entered at “Check-In”.
Consumables can be added to a Rental Contract by first adding a "Default Consumable" to a Machine from the "Model Dashboard" (Machine Dashboard->Actions->View Model Info->Default Rental Consumables) or by manually adding to the Contract via the button drop-down menu "Edit Consumables" option. From here, you can also remove any current consumables associated by clicking the
button.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested the ability to attach additional files to the Flyntlok Email report when sending a PDF document. This will optimize the process, as Users currently must download the invoice and manually email it separately if additional files are required.
Solution:
We have added an " Attachment" field to the Email Preview screen, allowing users to select files from their device to be included along with the Sales Order PDF attached to the sent email.
Opportunity:
Sales Managers, using the new Gravity Payments Emergepay system, have requested we require a signature for all credit card payments.
Solution:
We have added a "Collect Signature" check box to the "Credit/Debit" payment type on the Gravity Payments Emergepay system, which will allow Users the option to require a customer signature for credit/debit card payments.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested we add a field to the Sales Order "Packing Slip" PDF for the Customers printed Name.
Solution:
We have added a "Print" field next to the customer signature on the Sales Order Packing slip PDF.
Opportunity:
Sales People and Technicians have given feedback stating that the terminology of the Order button on sales orders is confusing.
Solution:
We have changed the terminology to Process. This button still functions the same.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested we display the "Discount Reason" on the Sales Order page when an item has been sold at a discount. Currently, Users cannot reference the Discount Reason given to the Customer on the Sales Order page and must go to the "Discounts Given" report to view all the Discount Reasons given for each sold Item.
Solution:
We have added the "Discount Reason" to the item line for discounted Items on the Sale Order page. Flyntlok will now display the "Discount Reason" when hovering over the symbol. Flyntlok will also show the "Discount Reason" when adding or adjusting the line price.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested that the Items lines with no backordered quantity (in-stock items) be displayed with a blank space versus a (0) quantity on the Sales Order PDF, making it easier to identify which parts are on backorder.
Solution:
We have removed (0) quantity Items from the "Backordered column of the Sales Order PDF.
Opportunity:
Sales People have requested a warning message be added to the Point of Sales to alert Users when a Machine's location does not match the location of the Sale Order.
Solution:
We have added a "Not at This Location!" warning message to the icon's "Sell Machine" searcher; that will display when a Machine's "Responsible Location" does not match the location of the Sales Order.
Opportunity:
Purchasing Managers located in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Illinois have requested a parts ordering interface with the local Stihl distributor Crader.
Solution:
We have added a "Submit To " option to the Item Purchase Order's button drop-down menu, which will allow Users to search for "open" Machine Purchase Orders associated with the same distributor and submit the Order(s).
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the associated technician of a Work Order be added to the Work Order PDF.
Solution:
We have added the first associated technician's name to the Work Order PDF.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested we add the "Priority" status of a Work Order when set to the PDF.
Solution:
We have added the Work Order's associated "Priority" status to the "Internal" copy of the printed Work Order PDF. Users can print an "Internal" copy of the Work Order by navigating to the button and selecting the "Print Internal" option from the dropdown menu.
Complaint:
Users had noticed that the in-app notifications they received from Flyntlok which were associated to a CRM Lead were directing them to the old CRM HUB.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Links attached to notifications associated to CRM Leads will now redirect Users to the "Lead Dashboard" page.
Complaint:
Rental Managers, using the "Require Valid License on Check-Out" setting, were experiencing an issue where users were not receiving a warning message when a customer did not have a valid license associated with their record. They were still able to check out a Machine on a Rental Contract when they should have been restricted.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. If the Flyntlok Setting "Require Valid License for Machine Check-Out" is activated, Users will receive a warning message on Contract creation and Machine Check-Out if the customer is missing the required license information or if the associated license is expired.
Complaint:
When generating a Work Order Estimate, Flyntlok allows Users the option to send Customers a PDF copy via email or SMS messaging and request they review and approve/reject the Estimate. Flyntlok will then mark the Estimate with a icon (hovering over this icon will display a "Sent to Customer" message.) Once a customer has taken action on an estimate, the icon will change to
(hovering over this icon will display a "Customer Review Complete" message). Service managers had noticed that while the "Sent To" and "Review Complete" icons were still populating the individual Estimates, Flyntlok was no longer displaying the icons in the "Work Order Estimate List," which shows all estimates generated for the particular Work Order.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Work Order Estimates will display the "Sent to" and "Reviewed by" icons on the individual estimates as well as the Estimate list view.

We are excited to announce that Flyntlok, including our CEO and founder Sean McLaughlin, will be attending the Equipment Exposition October 17th-20th in Louisville, Kentucky (Booth Number 42024). The Equipment Exposition is an annual event dedicated to growing landscapers, manufacturers, and equipment dealers’ businesses. Please get in touch with Mike Wasserman (mwassy@flyntlok.com) or Garret Nelson (garret@flyntlok.com) if you would like to arrange a meeting while we are there.
Opportunity:
There are times when a Rental Unit goes down and needs to be replaced with a new Machine. Rental Managers have requested the ability to replace the currently existing Machine on an Active Rental Contract with an alternate Machine of the same Model and have the new Machine inherit the previously billed amounts of the old unit so that the billing continues to flow seamlessly.
Solution:
We have added a "Replace Machine" option to the Actions button drop-down menu of the Rental Contract, which will allow users to "swap" the Machine currently on the contract with an alternate Machine of the same Model. When the "Replace Machines" option is selected, Flyntlok will display a list of available Machines. Users can filter through to select a Machine to add in place of the removed Machine. After selecting a new Machine, you will need to log both the new and previous Machine's Miles, Hours, and consumables. Flyntlok will then "Check-Out” the new Machine and add it to the Rental Contract. For billing purposes, the Machine being replaced will remain on the contract in a "Checked-In" status, but offset from the Machines currently on rent. The new Machine will display a icon on the right side of the line item, above the Quantity field.
Opportunity:
Rental units can have either Miles or Hours tracked. Flyntlok Users have requested the ability to specify either or both metrics on the Check-In and Check-Out of the Machine from a Rental Contract and have that information logged in the Machines "Meter History" record.
Solution:
We have added fields to log both "Miles" and "Hours" of the associated Machine when checking the unit "IN" or "OUT" on a Rental Contact. While Flyntlok will only handle the billing of one of the two metrics, based on the machines "unit preference" set on the Machine's Dashboard, the values captured here will be stamped back onto the Machine's "Meter History" record.
Adding CC and Internal Emails to Rental Signature Requests-(Ticket #FD-1932, 44256)
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested the option to add additional "CC" and "Internal" recipient email addresses when sending a Signature Request from a Rental Contract. The CC and Internal recipients would receive a PDF copy of the Contract.
Solution:
We have added three new fields to the "Rental Contracts" Signature Request modal;
The "CC" field will allow users to add additional Customer email addresses to the Signature Request modal, where recipients will receive an "unsigned" PDF attachment of the Rental Contact. The "CC" field will allow Users to add any valid email addresses or to select from saved customer contact email addresses.
The "Internal" field will allow Users to add internal employee email addresses to the Rental Signature Request, where recipients will receive an "unsigned" PDF attachment of the Rental Contact. The "Internal" field will allow Users to add any valid email addresses or to select from a list of saved employee email addresses. The internal recipients are BCC’d on the email.
The "Message Field" will allow users to add custom text to the signature Request that will be added to the body of the email sent.
Opportunity:
Service Technicians have requested the ability, while working in the Mobile View, to add and edit Work Order "Forms" that are associated with Service Jobs.
Solution:
We have added a "Forms" section to the Work Order dashboard of the "Mobile View" to allow Service technicians the ability to add and edit available Service Forms to Work Orders jobs via their mobile device.
Opportunity:
Service managers have requested we add the associated "Tag Number" of a Work Order to the list views displayed within the Flyntlok Mobile View
Solution:
We have added the associated "Tag Number" to the Flyntlok Mobile Views (All Work Orders, My Work Orders, New WO, and My Recent WO). This field will only be displayed for a WO with an associated Tag Number.
Opportunity:
The Flyntlok team is currently in the process of a continuous update to our general Contact Management Capabilities. Recently, we launched a new "Customer Contacts" report that contains a list of all of a company’s individual customer contacts and allows users to filter and view individual contacts. Our next update is to streamline the process of customer correspondence within the Customer Contacts Report.
Solution:
We have added "quick hit" links to the Customer "phone number" and "email" fields of the Contact Dashboard page, which will allow Users to immediately start a new correspondence with the contact. Hovering over the "Phones" field will display a dropdown menu, where Users can choose to edit/delete saved numbers or immediately attempt to call the customer. If the "Call" option is selected, Flyntlok will first ask you to specify the application you would like to compete the call from, then populate the customers "primary" number into the application
Hovering over the "Email" field will display a dropdown menu, where Users can choose to edit/delete saved addresses or launch a new email. If the "Email" option is selected, Flyntlok will redirect you to your preferred email client, with a new draft email and the contact's "primary" address prepopulated.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok salespeople have requested we add "Repeat Customer" as an option to the "Source" field of a CRM Lead.
Solution:
We have added "Repeat Customer" option to the dropdown menu of the "Source" field of a CRM Lead.
Opportunity:
Purchasing managers have requested the option to set a default Company Email Address that will display on all Purchase Order PDFs. Flyntlok currently displays the Email Address of the User that generated the PO in the "Created By" field of the Item Purchase Order PDF and also in the "Reply-To" section of the sent PDF.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the "Flyntlok Settings" page, which will allow administrators to set a default "Parts Department" email address. When set, Flyntlok will replace the User Email Address in the “Created By” field of the PDF and the return address of a sent PDF with the "Parts Department Email". Administrators can add a "Parts Department Email" by navigating to the "Flyntlok Settings" page. (Admin Editor Wrench -> Flyntlok-> Flyntlok Settings ->Company Section).
Opportunity:
Flyntlok Users have requested a warning be added to the Item Receiving Voucher system to alert Users when an automated SMS text message will be sent to a customer upon the receipt of a Special Ordered Item. Currently, users have to go to the customer dashboard to see if a customer is set up for automated text messages as well as if they have received an automated text message.
Solution:
We have added a "Sales Order contact will be notified of parts received" message to the Item Receiving Voucher modal that will display if the Item being received was Special Ordered, and the associated Customer has a least one contact with a phone number/ email saved and the enable SMS/email setting activated.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok Purchasing managers have requested we add a "Core List Price" field to the Item Receiving Voucher that will allow users to manually edit the "Core Items" List price when receiving the Item.
Solution:
On the Item Receiving Voucher page, when receiving an item that has a core, we have added a “Core Received List” field at the bottom of the receiving modal. This will display the Core Item’s current List Price by default, but can be modified/adjusted by Users to change the value of the Core Item upon receipt. Changing this value will also adjust the Core Item's master record to have the new List Price.
Opportunity:
Machine utilization is a simple measure of the productivity of the equipment. Currently, at the top of the Machine Dashboard, Flyntlok displays the Machines "Life time Utilization" (Total income generated by the Machine / Machine Acquisition Cost) and "Year Time Utilization" (Income generated in the last 365 days / Acquisition Cost). Rental managers have requested we add an additional field to also display "Time Utilization".
Solution:
We have updated the Machine Dashboard header by adding two additional utilization fields "Life time Utilization" (Number of days rented / Total number of days from when the Machine was received) and "Year Time Utilization" (Number of days rented in the last 365 days / Number of days passed since Machine was received OR 365 whichever is least). We also renamed the existing fields Life and Year Utilization to Financial Life and Financial Year.
Complaint:
Service managers were experiencing an issue where Work Order estimates were not retaining their correct billing style. If the User updated the billing style of a Service Job on a Work Order, by changing from "Estimate" to "Billable", previously generated estimates were also being updated to the most current billing setting. Estimates should not update after being generated.
Cause/Correction:
Fixed. Once a Work Order estimate is generated, you cannot change the Type and a new Estimate will need to be made if you want to change the billing style of the Work Order.
Complaint:
Rental managers were experiencing an issue when searching for a specific Machine ID or Serial Number among available Machines to add to a Rental Contract on the New Rental page. The results returned were all Machines of the same model as the searched Machine, but the exact match could be anywhere within the result set making it hard to find. The exact match should have filtered to the top of the list.
Cause/Correction:
If the search text exactly matches a machine's display ID or serial number, Flyntlok will sort that Machine to the top of any model search result.
Complaint:
The above release notes lack the usual subtle wit that has been present of late.
Cause/Correction:
It’s hard to inject humor about things like machines, inventory, and rental contracts every week. We’ll be funnier next time so we can keep you reading. (But hey, you made it this far…)
September 27th, 2023 Release Notes

Check out our Flyntlok YouTube channel for more highlights of the application!
Opportunity:
Sales managers would like to be able to view a list of customer reviews of their company that have been submitted via Google Reviews. This would allow Flyntlok users to track overall customer satisfaction better.
Solution:
We have added a new Reviews report in the CRM tab of your Left-Hand Navigation menu that will track and display customer reviews submitted from Google. This new report will allow users to view a full list of all customer reviews and the company's aggregated Google score, respond to reviews, and send an email or SMS message requesting a review of the company.
Flyntlok users will have the option to send an SMS message or email to customers, requesting they review your company via Google Reviews. This request can be sent out to an individual customer or a bulk customer list and provides a link to the Google Review page.
We have added a response column to the Reviews page, allowing users to respond to individual customer reviews or to view their previous response. N.B. Google only allows one response per customer review.
Opportunity:
Sales managers would like to document the last attempt to contact individual leads. This will help to verify the company is actively staying on top of new potential business.
Solution:
We have added a "Last Reached Out" field to the All Leads report. Flyntlok will update this field when an SMS text message is sent or when the lead timeline has been manually updated with a new event (e.g. added a Call Note).
Export All Leads-(Ticket #FD-1262, 42888)
Issue:
Flyntlok users have the option to export the All Leads grid to an Excel spreadsheet. Previously, the export action only exported the items contained within the grid itself, which is limited in the number of records it displays, rather than all Leads which met the filter criteria of the report.
Solution:
All Leads that meet the criteria of the grid filter will be exported, rather than the limited set the grid was set to display (e.g. 50 or 100 records.)
Opportunity:
Purchasers would like to purchase parts from Distributors that sell two or more Vendors' parts. They would like to quickly create a single Purchase Order with all associated Vendors' parts. Currently, Flyntlok does not offer a way to configure a Distributor to be associated with a part or configure a part to be associated with a Distributor, or aggregate multiple vendors under a single Distributor for purchasing purposes.
Solution:
We have added a new flag to the Vendor edit page, that will allow users to set a Vendor as a Distributor. When this flag is set, you will be able to associate multiple different Vendors to the new Distributor.
Our crack development team has also updated the “Create New Purchase Order” page to handle Distributors. When a Distributor is selected for a new PO, all of the Vendors that this firm distributes for will be aggregated for selection.
Opportunity:
Purchasers would like to have Special Orders of parts combined with Stock Orders when trying to create a new Purchase Order. Previously these had to be handled separately.
Solution:
To handle a mix of special and stock orders we have added two new fields:
We have also added a drop-down menu item at the top within the “Use Recommended Quantity” that allows the user to choose between using just the “Recommended Quantity” or to “Use Recommended Quantity + Special Order Quantity”. When the latter is selected, the Order Quantity will add both SO and Recommended amounts to the Order Quantity.
Finally, if you expand the Item to review additional details (by clicking the arrow on the left in the grid), we have added information about the Special Orders within the drop-down.
Opportunity:
Purchasers would like to be able to manage Metric Overrides when creating Purchase Orders. This allows them to stay on this page and quickly adjust the Overrides for many parts quickly and in one location. Previously they had to open separately the individual Item Dashboard for the part and from there they could amend the Metric Overrides.
Solution:
We have added a new Metric Override field to the Purchase Order grid. By clicking on the cog/gear icon within the cell of the Item, the user is presented with a dialog for setting the Override on that particular item. Setting a new Override will then adjust the Recommended Quantities accordingly.
Opportunity:
Rental managers in Alaska would like the option to apply an Alaskan-specific tax charge on all Rental contracts, with a duration under 90 days.
Solution:
We have added a new “Charge Duration Tax” check-box on a Rental Contract, that when selected, will charge a specific tax rate on the rental. This box is auto-selected when a contract is less than 90 days, but can be overridden by the user. Further, if the original contract was for greater than 90 days (and where this box was not selected), but the customer ended up terminating and finalizing that prior to 90 days, then the user is prompted about whether they would like to add that tax back onto the invoice upon closure.
The addition of this field on a contract, and the specific rate charged, are environment-specific settings. If you would like assistance with setting up this feature, please contact your friendly Flyntlok Consultant for assistance.
Opportunity:
Rental managers would like a way to flag a Rental contract as a Demo, to more easily differentiate from other contracts.
Solution:
We have added a new "Is Demo" check box to the rental contract's Additional Details page. This check box will now designate the Rental Contract as a Demo and display this information from the top left corner of the contract.
Please contact one of our affable Flyntlok Consultants if you would like assistance in setting up this feature.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok users have requested the ability to remove the discount field from the Work Order Estimate PDF.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the Flyntlok Settings page, which will allow administrators the ability to hide the discount field on the PDF generated via a Work Order Estimate.
Opportunity:
Salespersons would like the option to prevent a Default Customer from having Special-Order parts on a Sales Order. (Flyntlok allows firms to set a Default Company as a customer that will auto-populate in the Customer Tab of the Sales Order that is generated when you select the quick create icon from the blue top bar.) Users have asked that Flyntlok not allow Special Order parts to be available on a Sales Order.
Solution:
We have added a new setting to the Sales section of the Flyntlok settings page that allows administrators the option to prevent the company's Default Customer from adding items requiring a Special Order to a Sales Order.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok users would like to print retail labels for inventory items, that will display the part number, item description, list price, and a barcode that scans as the item number.
Solution:
We can now customize the display of the item's retail label. Please reach out to the ace Flytnlok support team if you would like to edit the display of your retail item labels.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok users have requested additional information be added to the machine dashboard to record the machine's: fuel type, license plate number, and license expiration date.
Solution:
We have added three new fields to the new Machine Editing page and the Machines Dashboard view. Flyntlok users will now have the option to record and edit fuel type, license plate number, and license expiration date.
Vouchers/JE's not Transferring to QuickBooks if more than 1 Account is Credited -(Ticket #FD-1197, 42621)
User issue:
Flyntlok users are having issues where Journal Entries and Vouchers are not transferred over to QuickBooks if more than one account is credited.
Resolution:
When posting a bill to QuickBooks Online, only the Accounts Payable account can be credited. The issue here is if a Journal Entry is created with more than one credited account, the entry gets submitted successfully but is then unreconcilable. We have updated the QuickBooks settings, and going forward Journal Entries being submitted with multiple credited accounts will fail to successfully post. We have also added an error message, that will display this information to the user attempting to post the entry.
User issue:
Users would like to see who created a particular Vendor. Currently, no logs related to Vendor Creation are viewable by Flyntlok users.
Resolution:
We have added Vendor Creation to the logging information displayed for individual Vendors.
User issue:
Flyntlok users have the option to add an additional customized percentage fees (e.g. Shop Fees) to Service Work Orders. The problem is that when a job is set as Flat Rate, these percentage fees are only applied against the labor, not the part.
Resolution:
We have updated the Work Order billing settings. Going forward, all billings types will charge against parts added to service jobs when a parts fee is associated with the Work order. To update in-process work orders, you will have to remove the fee and add it back.
User issue:
Machine Purchase Orders are not being referenced under the icon within related transactions from the Point of Sale.
Resolution:
Fixed.
User issue:
As a Flyntlok user, I would like the ability to turn off the Customer PO column of the Purchase Order's PDF
Resolution:
We have added a new check box to the Flyntlok settings page, allowing users to display or hid the Customer PO column.
User issue:
Payment dates were not appearing on the Sales Order PDF when using the new EmergePay payment screen in Flyntlok.
Resolution:
We have added payment dates to the SO PDF.
User issue:
Flyntlok users have requested that the customer insurance expiration date which is displayed in the header of a rental contract not include the time.
Resolution:
We have edited the expiration date display, to be formatted as MM/DD/YYYY.
User issue:
Flyntlok administrators have the ability to add or edit the company logo that will be displayed on company documents generated from Flyntlok. The issue is that Flyntlok currently does not support PDF file types for logos. However, it appeared that the file upload of a PDF logo was successful, but then no logo appeared.
Resolution:

Flyntlok encountered a problem during an upgrade on Monday afternoon, June 19th, around 1 pm Eastern Time, which temporarily disrupted the searching function intermittently for some periods thereafter. Performance and reliability are extremely important to us and we would like to apologize for any inconvenience this caused you. Our development team has introduced a new search infrastructure and added additional preventative measures. We will work hard to ensure such instances are not repeated and continue to provide the best service possible.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok allows users to create and save contact information for customers . You can save contact information from the customer's dashboard, the point of sale, or the CRM Hub. The issue is that there is currently no centralized place to view and edit a list of all contacts. This makes it challenging to manage contacts on a company level.
Solution:
The Flyntlok team is currently in the process of a significant update to our general Contact Management Capabilities. This release we created a new view that contains a list of all of a company’s contacts. From this new report you can filter for the individual contact and, when selected, you can edit the contact: Name, linked customer, email address, phone number, and associated tags. Flyntlok users will now be able to access the "Customer Contacts" from the CRM tab of the left-hand navigation menu.
Opportunity:
Salespeople like to be able to easily communicate with their contacts from the list of all company contacts, but Flyntlok did not offer that capability
Solution:
When Flyntlok users select a specific contact from the contacts report, they will be redirected to the contacts information page. From here users can view past SMS messages and continue the correspondence. If a previously saved, valid phone number is added to the contact, any conversations with that phone number will be available to view.
Opportunity:
Sales managers often like to see a history of all interactions with a specific contact:
Solution:
Add a "History" tab to the contact's information page. On the Contact Information page for a specific contact, the History Tab will allow users to view a timeline of customer interactions. All Work Orders, Sales Orders, Rental contracts, and CRM leads created, and associated with the contact will be recorded on this timeline. Users will be able to manage the timeline by archiving individual events, Archived events will be removed from the default timeline and placed into a separate view.
Opportunity:
When associating a machine with a new lead from CRM Hub, the associated machine's information is not displayed on the lead page.
Solution:
For associated machines: include serial, machine number, owner name, and the current status of machines.
Opportunity:
The new lead system of the updated CRM Hub offers a more efficient way to manage new potential sales. However, we have noticed there is no convenient way to quickly navigate to and from an individual lead page back to the All Leads report
Solution:
Add a link to the lead page that will redirect you back to the All Leads report. This new link will be displayed above the lead name in the top left corner of the page.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok offers users the option to generate a packing slip, from the Point of Sale, which will display the package's contents, delivery address, and customer name making it easy to identify during dispatch. The issue is there is currently no acceptance line on the packing slip.
Solution:
Add a signature line to the packing slip PDF.
Opportunity:
The Item Type of “Note Items” are used to display information on an Invoice. When added to a Sales Order, the rate/amount set on the note item is not applied to what is debited to a pending payments accounts. Currently, if the list price of a note item is manually adjusted, this would result in the transaction being unreconciled in QuickBooks Online. The amount applied to Pending Payments needs to be the same as the Invoice Balance.
Solution:
Flyntlok added a restriction that will prevent Flyntlok users from editing the list price on invoice lines with Item Types that indicate the item is a note.
Opportunity:
At the bottom of the PDF, generated from the Point of Sale, is a section to record the buyer's acceptance with a signature line. The issue is Flyntlok currently does not offer a field to record a seller's acceptance. This can be problematic when dealing with a third-party service that requires both a buyer's and seller's acceptance signature.
Solution:
Flyntlok added a new setting to the Settings page that will allow Flyntlok administrators to add a seller's acceptance signature line to the PDF generated from the Point of Sale. Please contact a Flyntlok Consultant if you would like assistance in setting up this feature.
Opportunity:
When converting a Sales Order to a quote, Flyntlok requires users to set an expiration date for the new quote. This date is then displayed on the PDF generated for the quote. The issue is that Flyntlok currently does not show the expiration date anywhere on the actual Point of Sale page.
Solution:
Add a "Valid Until" field to the internal details section of the detail tab.
Opportunity:
The payment system currently displays the customer information as well as the date a credit card payment was applied to a Sales Order. However, the date is only applied to credit card payments
Solution:
Flyntlok now includes the payment date on all payment description lines.
Opportunity:
Kit items allow Flyntlok users to sell a group of items at a customized list price under a parent item. When the Kit is configured, Flyntlok will take the cost of the sub-items associated with the kit and apply them to the parent item. The issue is if the parent item is sold with a cost set, Flyntlok applies both the cost set on the parent item and the sub-items resulting in transactions being unreconcilable in QuickBooks.
Solution:
Flyntlok removed the ability to set a cost on Kit type items and we now show an expected cost on the kit item dashboard.
Opportunity:
Salespeople find it helpful to see the available inventory for kit items, which Flyntlok does not currently offer.
Solution:
On the item dashboard Flyntlok now shows the potential kit QOH based on the quantities of the sub-items
Opportunity:
When configuring kits, Flyntlok users would like to view the cost of all of the items making up the kit. This would assist in specifying a new price for the kit and to prevent losing money on kit sales.
Solution:
Added a total cost field, that will display the cost of sub-items added to the kit.
Opportunity:
When configuring Quick Kits from the Point of Sale, Flyntlok users would like to view the cost of all of the items making up the kit. This would assist in specifying a new price for the kit and to prevent losing money on kit sales. Currently, only the cost margin is displayed.
Solution:
We have updated the Point of Sale Quick Kit feature. The "cost margin" field has been renamed to "Profit" and we have added a new "Show Cost" check box. When selected, the total cost of all associated sub-items will be displayed.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok users are looking to clarify the "PO Number" column of the Purchase Order's PDF. Vendors are currently getting this field mixed up with the Purchase Order number.
Solution:
We have renamed the column, and will now display it as "Customer PO Number"
Opportunity:
Flyntlok users have the option to transfer service jobs. You can choose to transfer the job to an active Work Order or generate a new Work Order. The issue here is when the option to transfer to a new or existing order is selected, the logs of the transfer will only appear on the original Work Order.
Solution:
We have added enhanced logging on job transfers. Action logs will now refer to both Work Order IDs involved in the job transfer and the log will appear on both Work Orders' action logs.
Opportunity:
Flyntlok offers users a variety of different reports, accessable through the left-hand navigation menu. We aim to provide you with valuable insights and data through these reports. The issue is that there is currently no way to compress larger reports.
Solution:
We have added a new "Compact" button to Flyntlok Reports that will allow users to compress the grid view’s data within the report.
User issue:
The machine's dashboard is correctly showing the status as RESERVED however it is not indicating the active rental reservation at the top of the page.

The Flyntlok development team is starting to roll out the new CRM Hub. The updated CRM will retain all of the functionality of the existing CRM hub with added enhancements we believe: will help to increase leads, accelerate sales, organize contacts, and better serve your customers!
Note- We will be releasing a tutorial video on the new CRM Hub in the coming days, please reach out to the Flyntlok support team if you have any questions.
Flyntlok allows users to track shipments but currently does not offer a way to search for tracking numbers associated with a particular sale. Users can track a shipment by clicking on the "Track" button at the top of the Shipping Tab. A separate page will appear asking for the Tracking Number along with the Carrier. Tracking information will be generated in the shipping tab of the Sale Order and will include the tracking number, as well as its shipping status, last update, currently in, destination, created, and ETA. You can not search for tracking numbers unless the number had been copied/pasted into the internal/public message fields of the Sale.
You will now be able to search for tracking numbers associated with a Sales Order using the S? prefix from the Flyntlok searcher.
We have had several requests to allow salespersons to manually pick the order functionality of a Sales Order. This would give you the option to take all items associated with a specific sale out of your inventory regardless of on-hand quantity. This could be helpful in the case that an item has been physically received but the parts department has not yet had the chance to record the receive in Flyntlok. Currently, Flyntlok users have no option to manually pick the order functionality of a Sales Order.
Note- This feature if enabled may disrupt your inventory totals. This feature is setting controlled, please reach out to the Flyntlok support team if you would like this setup, or if you need any additional information.
We added a new icon to the quantity column of the Sales Orders item line. When the force pick option is selected, Flyntlok will pull the entire order quantity from your inventory. This will allow for sales to push inventory into negative quantities.
We have also had requests to allow a salesperson to manually set a Sales Order to order all items associated with a specific sale regardless of on-hand quantity. This will give Flyntlok users the option to special order entire order quantities.
We have added a new icon to the quantity column of the Sales Orders item line. When the force order option is selected, Flyntlok will special order the entire order quantity, leaving your inventory intact.
You can add a fee or a credit to a machine voucher in the Fees/Credits section by clicking . You can then choose to book the fee, to an account of your choosing or to capitalize to the machine. If you are going to capitalize the fee click
then choose an allocation method and save your choices. The problem is once the voucher is closed, the fees and credits section is also closed. You would then have to go to each machine separately to see how it was allocated.
We have updated the fees and credits section of the machine receiving voucher. The section will now be viewable but not editable after the voucher is complete.
On a Sales Order for a customer with a PO number: If the items associated with this sale are needing to be special ordered, the customer's PO number is not displayed on any PDF generated from the Purchase Order. This can be especially problematic when dealing with dropship orders.
We have added the customer PO number to the item line of the PDFs generated from the Purchase Order.
On the machine dashboard page, Flyntlok users can navigate to the owned machines section to view a list of all machines owned by a particular customer. The issue here is Flyntlok currently does not offer a way to export the list.
We have added a "View All" link to the owned machines section of the customer dashboard. When selected, this link will take you to a data view that shows all of the customer’s machines. From this page, you can then click the export icon in the upper right corner of the page.
New Flyntlok setting to hide the sub-items list price on PDF documents for kits has been enabled, but the list price is showing on invoices that have been split.
If you have activated the Flyntlok setting to hide kit sub-items, this will now also apply to all split invoices with kit items associated.
When editing a model, by changing the "allow sale" field to NO and selecting the save and update machines option: The model is still available to add to sales Orders from the Rocketship icon model searcher.
After editing a model to not allow the sale, the model will be excluded from the Rocketship model searcher.
When adding a machine to a Sales Order, and then fulfilling the order quantity, the machine was not able to be marked as unfulfilled.
After adding a machine to a Sales Order, and marking the machine as fulfilled, you will still be able to adjust the fulfilled quantity and set as unfulfilled.
When scheduling a start/end date for a job on a work order, the date will revert to the previous day whenever a time isn't selected.
Fixed.
On a new Sales Order: When trying to apply a discount to the entire order, if the option to discount "above cost" is selected, the discount is not applied to the sale.
Fixed.
When communicating with a customer or lead through SMS messaging, and trying to send a PDF document. The text message is not delivered.
Our wireless carrier does not support PDF file types sent via text messaging. We have added a new error message to the SMS settings that will display when trying to send a PDF document.
When creating a new rental contract and searching for a reserved machine: Machines that have been reserved, with a hold-for-rent reservation type, are not populating onto the contract.
Machines reserved for rent will still populate the machine list of a new rental contract, but will be displayed as "has conflict".
When trying to close and invoice a rental contract that contains an inactive item, the contract does not close and an error message pops up stating "The action could not be completed, no item data"
We have updated the information on the error message, and will now indicate if there is a inactive item associated with the rental contact.

We have added additional information when searching for items that have alternates. You will now see a supersedes section with the QOH displayed.
When taking a credit card payment from the new Gravity payment system, the previously selected terminal will now default into the field.
When creating a new customer, from the Point of Sale, Flyntlok will now accept email addresses in an all-caps format.
We have added the equipment hours logged on check-in/check-outs to the rental invoice. Previously, you would have to print out the rental lease agreement in addition to the invoice, to show this information to customers.
From the Point of Sale, when associating a machine with a quoted model, Flyntlok will now display the model number in the description of the item line.
We have made an adjustment to the tax rate settings. Tax rates can now be extended out up to 8 decimal places. Flyntlok will only display the tax rate’s significant digits in tax line descriptions.
Administrators will now have the option to hide the Invoice ID number on the Purchase Orders PDF. Wrench->Flyntlok->Flyntlok Settings.
-Please reach out to the Flyntlok support team to opt-in to this new setting.
We have removed stock items from the list displayed when selecting will-call labels, from the receiving voucher. From the item Purchase Order with stock and will-call items, you will now only see the will-call labels.

You will now be able to edit the salesperson associated with a particular sale even if the transaction is in a delivered status. Previously you could only make edits to this field when in an active status.
We have added a new restriction to the Point of Sale when special ordering items. Flyntlok will now block the workflow of converting a Sale Order into a quote if the sale is associated with a Purchase Order.
We have added a new permission to the Access Controls page that will lock down the ability to activate/deactivate items. Wrench->Users->Acess Controls
If you are subscribed to receive notifications on transfer requests, you will now see the items description as well as a link to the items dashboard in the notification. This will help to quickly identify and pull the parts needed for the transfer.
From the receiving voucher when associating a machine to a quoted model on a Sales Order, the machine's serial number, and description will be added to the Sales Orders machine line.
We have removed a restriction, that would block you from adding parts to a Purchase Order in a partially received status. Flyntlok will only restrict this action when all items have been received or the PO is closed. Previously, you would need to create a new PO for the vendor and merge the two Purchase Orders.
If you are currently using the moves system, you will now be able to access the My Trips report from the general section of the mobile view. This will allow drivers to quickly view upcoming moves from their mobile device.

You will now be able to accept a single payment to cover the cost of several different Sales Orders for a customer. This will help streamline the experience for collecting payments as well as saving your business transaction fees.

This new field will display the number of orders still requiring full payment. You can then select the (pay icon) to review and select from a list of outstanding orders to pay off.
A list of outstanding Sales Orders will then display on your screen. From this list, you can review the date, status, and outstanding balance. You can then choose which order(s) to pay off.

We have added a new item type, titled (KIT). This new item type will give you the ability to sell a group of parts at a set list price.
To set up a kit, you will first need to create a new item. This new item will be the placeholder for the kit items. When creating the kit item you will also be able to associate different items from your inventory to the kit and set a list price on the kit item. When you add the new kit item to a transaction all associated parts will also populate on the transaction but Flyntlok will only set the list price on the kit.
We have added a new section to the machine receiving vouchers for associating a machine with a quoted model.
