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.

CRM

Manage Contacts-(Ticket #FD-988/71)

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.

Outbound Communication with Contacts-(Ticket #FD-991)

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.

History of Contact Interactions-(Ticket #FD-989)

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.

 

 

CRM Machines-(Ticket #FD-978, 42165)

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.

Link back to All Leads-(Ticket #FD-1131, 42447)

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.

Sales

Signature Line on Packing Slip (Ticket #FD-815, 41558)

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.

Edit Invoice Detail Lines Block (Ticket #FD-770, 41452)

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.

Buyer Acceptance Signature Line (Ticket #FD-641, 41012)

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.

Quote Expiration Date(Ticket #FD-1120, 42417)

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.

Payment Date - (Ticket #FD-802, 41523)

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.

 

Parts

Kit item Cost-(Ticket #FD-1034)

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.

 

Kit QOH(Ticket #FD-905, 41927)

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

Kit Cost Total - (Ticket #FD-638)

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.

Cost Margin on Quick Kits - (Ticket #FD-982)

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.

Purchasing

Customer PO Number (Ticket #FD-975, 42148)

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"

Service

Job Transfer Logging (Ticket #FD-1146, 42497)

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.

Flyntlok Reporting

Compact/Compress

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.

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.

Track Shipment      Tracking Number

Force Pick-  (Ticket#FD 537, 40715)

Opportunity:

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.

Solution:

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.

Force Order- (Ticket#FD 874, 41813)

Opportunity:

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 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.

Customer PO on Purchase Order PDF- (Ticket#FD-873, 41805)

Click Reduction Winner

We have selected multiple click reduction winners. We received a record number of entries, many of which will be implemented! Here are the click reduction winners. Each suggestion was submitted by multiple people. Everyone involved will receive a gift card.

  1. Is it possible to upload item #'s to create a PO/RO? I'm working on surplus returns and have to manually enter each item. Is there a way to upload an excel file with the required info? Each PO is roughly 150 lines, so that would save quite a bit of time and clicks.
  2. It would be great if you could create a drop down menu for changing locations on P.O.'s. rather than using the widget to change locations
  3. Add the capability to add line items to a current p.o. Currently, if we forget to add a part to a p.o., we have to create a new p.o. and merge into the original p.o., this is very time consuming.

Point of Sale
