Opportunity:
Service Managers at dealerships that service fleet-owned vehicles have requested the ability to associate a customer’s fleet card with a Work Order for a vehicle so that they can ensure that parts orders on that Work Order receive the appropriate fleet discounts from part vendors.
Solution:
For dealer locations that accept fleet cards, a selector has been added to the Work Order creation form that allows the user to select from a list of saved fleet cards for a customer. A new fleet card can be added by clicking the “+ New” icon next to the selector and filling out the form. On the Work Order dashboard, fleet card information is displayed in the customer section and can be edited. When Parts Orders are added to the Work Order, the fleet card is associated with the resulting invoice and can be used to receive vendor discounts the same as would be done on a standard Sales Order.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have requested the ability to require a note be entered when a job status is changed so that they can ensure processes are being followed correctly.
Solution:
A comment box has been added to the “Change Job Status” modal. This can be turned into a required input on the “Flyntlok Settings” page. The note entered into the text field will appear in the “Activity” slider.
Note: This feature is Flyntlok controlled, please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like this feature added to your environment.
Opportunity:
Service Managers have stated that the inability to save and quickly apply custom filter configurations in the job scheduler results in a time-consuming process, as they have to reset filters for every session. This inefficiency hampers the scheduling of services and overall workflow management.
Solution:
To address this issue, a feature that allows the saving and quick application of custom filter layouts has been introduced. Users can now save their current filter settings under a unique name for easy identification and reuse as well as select, update, or delete saved filter layouts.
Continued Mobile Enhancements for CRM Leads - (Ticket #FD-2902)
Opportunity:
Salespeople have been requesting more extensive mobile support for our existing CRM Leads feature. This will help salespeople on-the-move keep up with their projects and log any changes that happen while they are away from their computers.
Solution:
So many new features for the Mobile Leads page! The editing and filtering functionality is now almost as exhaustive as the Desktop version.
Opportunity:
Salespeople have requested we add additional fields to the "All Leads" report that will display the Lead’s associated Machine(s) and associated Model(s).
Solution:
We have added Machine and Model Categories to the "All Leads" report, which will display the associated Machines/Models of a CRM Lead when available.
Opportunity:
Sales Managers have expressed the need to improve the handling of high-volume quantity model quotes and sales on the point-of-sale system.
Solution:
An option has been made available to present multiple model lines as quantities when printing or emailing a sales order. This should improve the readability and reduce the number of pages needed when displaying a high volume of the same model on a single sales order.
In this example, there are 10 machines of the same model that is being sold, with serialized machines allocated:
Opportunity:
Sales Managers have stated that when using kits, they are uncertain about how the order of items and models will be applied to a sales order. In some use cases, a specific arrangement of items is required to qualify for vendor credits, rebates, or other incentive programs. They have requested the ability for kits to be configured and saved in a specific order.
Solution:
The previous version did not maintain any specific list order when a kit was configured on an item, nor was there any way to know what it would look like when adding it to a sales order. This new feature introduces the ability to arrange kit items and models as needed. You can now move these lines up or down as needed by dragging and dropping the lines:
Opportunity:
On a printed Sales Order, there is an asterisk that appears on a line item that indicates the part was special ordered. Salespeople have requested we add this asterisk to the “Special Ordered” lines of the Packing Slip.
Solution:
We have added an asterisk to Special Ordered lines of the Packing Slip.
Opportunity:
Rental Managers have requested the ability to collect customer signatures using Clover devices to speed up the process of signing a Rental Contract.
Solution:
“Collect Signature” has been added as an option under the “Actions” dropdown on the Rental Dashboard. Clicking this will display a pop-up that allows the user to ask for a signature on the selected Clover device. Once the customer signs the device, a signed PDF copy of the contract is attached to the contract. The user also has the option now to see an unsigned copy of the rental contract under the “Actions” dropdown by clicking on “Print Lease Agreement.”
