Opportunity
Salespeople requested the ability to add discount tiers to customers when they are being created from the Invoice.
Solution
This functionality was added to the “Quick Create Customer” dialog box.
Please contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you are interested in activating this feature for your sales team!
Opportunity
Salespeople need better visibility into machine warning notes during the sales process. Previously, these notes were only accessible by navigating to the Machine Dashboard, which slowed down workflows and increased the chance that important warnings could be overlooked.
Solution
Machine warning notes are now fully integrated into the Sales Order page. When searching for machines to sell, the warning note is displayed.
When a machine on a Sales Order has a warning note, an icon is shown. Hovering over it reveals the note.
Opportunity
When searching for parts with the Magic Wand tool, users could only see quantity on hand at their current location. This made it harder to quickly identify stock available at other branches, slowing down sales and fulfillment workflows.
Solution
The Magic Wand searcher now provides visibility into inventory at other locations:
A yellow asterisk next to the quantity badge indicates that additional stock is available elsewhere. Hovering over the badge reveals the quantities on hand at other locations. This makes it easier to identify and source parts across your organization without leaving the search screen.
Opportunity
When viewing costs using the "View Internal Pricing" (
) tool on Point of Sale, sales managers could only see margin as a percentage, making it harder to quickly assess the actual dollar value of profit.
Solution
We now display both percentage and dollar value margins, giving sales teams clearer insight into profitability at a glance.
Opportunity
Users (Wayne once again) wanted more control and efficiency when importing parts into Point of Sale. Previously, if a part existed across multiple vendors, the system required manual selection of the part for each line.
Solution
We’ve made enhancements to the Point of Sale import tool.
Additional improvements:
These changes streamline imports, reduce manual corrections, and improve data accuracy on invoices.
Opportunity
Sales Managers requested clearer visibility into estimate totals. Currently, estimates only showed an overall total, leaving customers and staff without an easy way to see how parts, labor, discounts, and taxes contributed to the final amount.
Solution
We've added a new setting: "Display detailed subtotal breakdown on estimate". When enabled, estimates will now include a breakdown showing Total Parts, Total Labor, Discounts, Subtotal, Taxes, and the Overall Total.
To turn this feature on, go to Flyntlok Settings → Sales section.
Opportunity
Sales Managers working on-the-go wanted the ability to not only upload machine images from their mobile devices but also publish listings online quickly. The "Advertise" field is used by some teams to communicate to online sales reps that a machine is ready to be listed. Previously, the "Advertise" field could only be edited from the desktop interface, slowing down the process of getting machines online.
Solution
The "Advertise" field is now editable when managing machines on Mobile. This allows sales teams to upload images and immediately mark machines for advertising in one step, streamlining the process of getting inventory online faster, from anywhere.
Opportunity
Technicians and Service Managers needed a faster, more flexible way to access files uploaded to Work Orders. Previously, clicking on a file link always opened the file in a new browser tab, making it inconvenient for users who simply wanted to download files directly, or download multiple files at once.
Solution
We’ve improved file handling on the Work Order Dashboard with new actions:
These enhancements save time and make file management more convenient when working with Work Orders.
Opportunity
Service Managers rely on dashboard goals to track team performance, but until now only Productivity and Efficiency goals could be set. Many teams also wanted to monitor Recovery, an important metric for understanding how effectively labor hours are being billed.
Solution
We’ve added a new "Recovery" goal to the Service Dashboard. It functions just like the existing Productivity and Efficiency goals, allowing managers to set targets and track actual performance in real time. This provides a more complete picture of service operations and profitability.
Opportunity
Rental Managers requested clearer totals on Rental Contracts. Previously, contracts only displayed estimated totals per rental schedule.
Solution
We have added a new setting: “Show Estimated Billable” under Rental settings. When enabled, the contract will display a breakdown of the Estimated Total Billable amount at the bottom of the agreement.
Opportunity
Businesses needed tighter control over who can edit accounting-related fields when managing customer records. Without permission controls, there was a risk of unauthorized changes that could affect accounting accuracy and reporting.
Solution
We’ve added a new user permission that allows access to accounting-specific fields when editing customers. Admins can access this permission in Access Controls under the Customer category:
Opportunity
Sales Managers reported confusion when customers saw different customer IDs in the “Bill To” section of Sales Order PDFs. Customers expected to see an ID consistent with the Sage Intacct customer ID, but instead saw the Flyntlok internal customer ID.
Solution
Sales Order PDFs will now display the Sage Intacct Customer ID in the “Bill To” section when available.
Complaint: Service Managers noticed the order of job parts lists were not consistent when creating multiple Work Order Estimates. This was causing confusion when an estimate was sent to a customer again after being adjusted.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Managers reported customers were not receiving surveys after purchasing a machine when they had a configured survey rule with the “Invoice Machine’s Make” filter applied on the Manage Surveys page, even though the make of the sold machine matched what they set on the filter.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Service Managers reported that Work Order Job Templates were being created without respecting the company’s default job billing style.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Managers reported that the Quick Transfer button on the Machine Dashboard was not creating and processing a Machine Move like they expected.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users noticed that the city, state, and zip line would not appear on Sales Order PDFs if the information was only partially filled in.
Correction: This has been fixed. Sales Order PDFs will now display the address line correctly, even if only part of the information is present.
Complaint: On smaller screens, part of the Actions menu on the Work Order Dashboard was inaccessible due to a visual bug.
Correction: The Actions menu is now fully visible and accessible on all screen sizes.
Complaint: On some Part Voucher PDFs, the totals amount would sometimes be cut off and not fully visible. (Yeah, seems to be a trend of things not fully displaying correctly this week…)
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: After collecting a signature and then accepting an account payment, users still saw a warning that a signature had not been collected.
Correction: This has been fixed. The warning will no longer appear once a signature has been collected.
Complaint: Some users reported that they were unable to create tags when editing a customer.
Correction: This issue has been fixed. Tags can now be added successfully while editing customers.
Complaint: When a customer had a labor type override set, it did not replace the job template's labor type when adding a job.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: The true/false filters on the “Item Types” editor were not functioning correctly.
Correction: This bug has been resolved. Filters now work properly on the Item Types editor.
Complaint: When editing a machine that originally had an inactive model, switching it to an active model sometimes resulted in an error stating the model was inactive.
Correction: This issue has been fixed. Machines can now be updated from inactive models to active models without error.
Complaint: On the Work Order Dashboard, when attempting to invoice a work order, users sometimes saw no response at all if an error occurred. The page simply did nothing after clicking "Invoice."
Correction: We’ve fixed this issue. Users will now see a clear error message whenever an error prevents invoicing, improving visibility and troubleshooting.
Complaint: Users reported that when editing a machine, there was no clear indication if the assigned model was inactive. This created confusion when working with machines tied to outdated or discontinued models.
Correction: We’ve updated the edit view for machines to clearly show when the assigned model is inactive, giving users better visibility and reducing confusion when managing machine records. Users will be shown an error message when attempting to save a machine with an inactive model.
Complaint: When creating a new machine, if a user entered a model name that already existed but was inactive, the system would silently link the new machine to that inactive model. This left the machine in a broken state because its model was disabled.
Correction: We’ve improved the machine creation flow. If a user tries to create a model that matches an inactive one, the system now blocks machine creation and displays the inactive model’s ID with instructions. Users must either reactivate the existing model or select another before proceeding, preventing machines from being tied to disabled models.
Complaint: Users were unable to assign “Primary” or “Secondary” salesperson relationships to a customer.
Correction: Fixed
Complaint: When a sale included an “Other Payment” in addition to a payment on account, the other payment line transferred to QuickBooks without a tax code. This caused it to inherit the regular tax rules of the sale, which resulted in incorrect tax amounts being applied.
Correction: We updated the invoice and memo posting logic so that all “Other Payments” are automatically assigned the “Exempt” tax code (0% rate) for Canadian tenants. This prevents those payment lines from inheriting standard tax rules, ensuring QuickBooks invoices reflect accurate tax amounts.
Complaint: Some Purchase Orders were generating PDFs with missing item details caused by an item description containing special characters.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: The Customer Balance report was sometimes crashing when users selected a long date range.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When quoting a model and adding a custom option with a price, the shown Discount % was calculated using only the base model price, ignoring the custom option(s). This sometimes resulted in an incorrect or even negative discount being displayed.
Correction: Fixed.
Last week the Flyntlok team held their annual fantasy football draft. Ivan is looking to stay on top of his game as won BOTH last year’s football league as well as the March Madness contest. And ESPN rated his team one of the top teams in our league this season. Can anyone take him down? Certainly not Dylan who is the only one thus far to not pay his entry fees and might be kicked out before the season even starts.
If you are looking to root for a low-odds victor, cheer for Isabelle who picked her team using ChatGPT creating a squad based on Taylor Swift puns. If Isabelle the Anti-Hero manages to beat Ivan, he will never be able to Shake it Off, and when he gets angry she will simply tell him, “You Need to Calm Down.”
Stay tuned for regular updates!

Opportunity
Flyntlok users previously faced limitations with our Microsoft email integration, as it only supported configuration at a company level and for a single email account. This made managing communication with customers challenging, especially when replies and conversation threads needed to be organized among various employees and store locations. Users required the ability to connect multiple Microsoft email accounts at both user and store location levels to improve efficiency and communication management.
Solution
Flyntlok now supports the connection of multiple Microsoft email accounts at both user and store location levels, in addition to the corporate account. This enhancement allows for more flexible and efficient email communication directly from Flyntlok.
Key Features
Integration Setup:
To connect Microsoft email accounts to store locations follow this steps:
To connect a Microsoft email account to a user’s profile follow this steps:
Opportunity: It can be oh-so-hard to remember all the tasks that are due and need immediate attention! There is no way currently to receive reminders about tasks that are due soon without going to the tasks grid and checking it yourself. (Sometimes you need to create a task to remind yourself to review your tasks.) There is a need to receive reminders about due tasks so that important work is not missed.
Solution: We have added a new notification for “Due Task Reminders” which can be enabled by navigating to Preferences -> Notifications -> CRM
If this notification is turned on, Flyntlok will send a report about all the tasks assigned to you that are due within the next week at the end of each day. This will help users to stay up to date on their progress and avoid missing out on important tasks. Based on the selected medium (Email, SMS or notification) the notification may look slightly different.
Opportunity
Users managing contacts on the Customer Dashboard have requested the ability to click to call/email their contacts listed in the Customer Information panel.
Solution
The Customer Dashboard has been updated to have links for calling and emailing in the Contact and Primary Contact sections. By clicking on a listed phone number or email address, a phone call or email can be initiated right from the Customer Dashboard.
Opportunity
Users managing customers’ saved credit cards have requested an indicator on the Customer Dashboard that displays if a customer has credit cards on file.
Solution
The summary section of the Customer Dashboard has been updated to display the status of a customer’s saved credit cards. The icon will indicate if all credit cards are valid, if any card has expired, or if a customer has no credit cards.
Opportunity
The current implementation of the “Parts Used” modal on the desktop-version of Flyntlok supports marking parts that have already been requested as “Used”. This multiple-step process requires technicians to request parts first and then navigate back to log the quantities used, which can be cumbersome. There is a need to streamline this process to improve efficiency and reduce the number of steps required.
Solution
The “Parts Used” modal on the desktop-version of Flyntlok has been updated to allow technicians to add and mark additional used parts directly within the same step. This feature simplifies the parts management process, reducing the number of clicks and streamlining the workflow for technicians.(N.B. This feature already existed in the mobile version of Flyntlok)
Key Features:
Inventory Management Details:
How to add an additional used part:
1. Click “Edit Parts” in the “Parts” section of the job page.
2. Click “Add Parts” in the modal to open the parts searcher
3. Search for a part and select it.
4. Set the used quantity for the selected part
5. Repeat steps 3 - 4 to add more parts.
6. Click "Save" to finalize.
Opportunity: Technicians often face workflow conflicts when multiple users inadvertently work on the same Work Order simultaneously. This can lead to inefficiencies and errors. By providing real-time visibility of users currently viewing a Work Order, Flyntlok can significantly improve coordination and prevent such conflicts.
Solution: The Activity panel on the Work Order Dashboard has been updated to display the users who are currently viewing the same Work Order. Flyntlok does not prevent two people from editing the same Work Order, but the system will alert you to other simultaneously viewing users.
The Active Viewer list applies to users viewing the Work Order across both Mobile and Desktop platforms.
Opportunity: Service managers have requested the ability to view a Work Order’s status on the Job Service Scheduler. This would enable Service Managers to better organize their jobs table, streamlining the job scheduling process.
Solution: We added a new column for the Work Order status on the Job Service Scheduler. The column can be sorted and filtered as well.
Opportunity: Service Managers have requested the ability to force a machine down on Work Order creation. This way the machine’s status will be set to ‘Down’, regardless if work has started on it.
Solution: We have added this as a setting in Flyntlok Settings. This setting can be found under the Service section, titled “Force Down Machine on Work Order Creation''. With this option enabled, checking ‘Force Down’ on the New Work Order page will update the machine's status to ‘Down’ when the Work Order is created.
Opportunity
Service Managers would like to see who signed a Work Order Estimate and when they signed it. Previously, a green icon with a message ‘Customer Review Complete’ would be the only indicator that an estimate was signed.
Solution
We have updated the displayed text for the green icon to show when an estimate was approved and who signed off on it.
Opportunity: Managers requested the ability to save Cause and Correction to Work Order Job Templates. One example for needing this is to make these Job fields populate exactly as needed for Warranty work, eliminating the variability of a technician’s entries.
Solution: Users are now able to add and edit Cause and Correction on the Work Order Job Templates page. These fields will populate on the Job when added via Work Order creation or Work Order Dashboard.
Opportunity: Service Managers would like to see a customer’s Primary Contact on their Work Order print out, regardless of the contact that is set on the Work Order.
Solution: We have updated the Work Order print out to display the customer’s Primary Contact in the ‘Bill To’ section. If the Primary Contact is the same contact that was selected on the Work Order, the print out will appear the same as before.
Opportunity: Salespeople at Toro dealers have requested the ability to access real-time inventory data from Flyntlok within OPEHub. (OPEHub is a third party quoting and reference sales tool used by Toro dealers. If you are a Toro dealer and are interested in OPEHub, please contact them at drew@opehub.com.)
Solution: We have implemented an integration for OPEHub that allows users to view the inventory details of specific models from Flyntlok.
Integration Setup
To connect OPEHub to Flyntlok follow this steps:
1. Access the Integrations Page within Flyntlok.
2. Choose the location you want to connect to OPEHub.
3. Generate a token by clicking the "Request New Token" button. This will populate the Access Token field.
4. Click on the “Copy Access Token” button to copy the Access Token.
5. Link your Vendors to OPEHub supported Manufacturers
6. Connect to OPEHub
Opportunity:
Service Technicians and Managers have requested the ability to assign classes to a Model when creating a new Machine with a new Model. Doing this currently requires that the user first create the Machine, then go to the Machine Dashboard, then click on the Model Editor, and then finally set the Primary and Secondary Class options there. Being able to do this at the Machine creation step would save the user time (and clicks!) for shops who require classification of Models.
Solution:
We have added Model Primary Class and Model Secondary Class fields to Machine creation on these pages:
A new "Model Details" section will show after typing in a new Model name and choosing to create it. The selected Class options will be applied to the Model immediately when created.
Opportunity: Users creating models would like to be redirected to their new model on creation from the Add a New Model page.
Solution: We have updated the Add New Model page to redirect to the newly created model. This should streamline model editing after creation for things like Rental or Maintenance Schedules which cannot be set until a model is created.
Opportunity: Users managing machines would like to see the model’s horsepower on the Machine Dashboard. This information can be useful to salespeople who want to get more machine information at a glance.
Solution: The Machine Dashboard has been updated to display the horsepower of a machine’s model. This value must be edited at the model level, but will display on any machines of the model.
Opportunity: Managers requested the ability for drivers to upload pictures for pickups and drop-offs. This is intended to facilitate the documentation of machine conditions and improve transparency and accountability during the moving process.
Solution:
Mobile "My Trips" View: Users can now upload pictures directly from their mobile devices via the "My Trips" section. Uploaded images will be displayed in a gallery-like format, providing a visual record of machine conditions at pickup and drop-off. To upload a picture, click on the "Upload" button in the Images section:
Desktop Moves Dashboard: Users can manage the files when viewing Moves on desktop. Additionally, other accepted file types (such as PDF) can be attached.
Opportunity: Users have requested the ability to change a Reservation’s “Is Open Ended” field after the reservation has been created.
Solution: Implemented an editor for “Is Open Ended” on the machine Reservation dashboard page.
Opportunity: Salespeople have requested the ability to adjust the Due Date of an Invoice from Flyntlok and have that feed to QuickBooks Online.
Solution: We’ve added a new field called “Terms Due Date” to the Invoice. When posted as an Invoice to QuickBooks Online, any date set here will become the QuickBooks Online Inovice’s Due Date. You can find this new field on the Point of Sale by opening the Details panel and clicking the Settings button in the top right corner.
Complaint: Service managers noticed their Upcoming Maintenance page was blank and would not load their Maintenance Schedules.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Service Managers noticed labor lines on the Work Order that were not associated with jobs would intermittently disappear on non-segmented Work Orders.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users creating items with alternates/supersessions noticed that the alternates/supersessions would not be saved once the item was created. Because of this, they would then have to edit the item after creation to update the alternates/supersessions.
Correction: Fixed. Alternates and supersessions are now properly saved on item creation.
Complaint: Service Managers noticed taxes were being shown on Work Orders for internal customers. These customers should have been recognized as tax exempt on the Work Order, like they are on Sales Orders.
Correction: Fixed. Internal customers on Work Orders are now properly recognized as tax exempt, and the Work Order will correctly display no taxes.
Complaint: Receivers noticed serial numbers and received dates for machines on Machine Purchase Orders would disappear if an associated Fee-Only Voucher was canceled. This logic was intended to reset machine data when a Machine Receiving Voucher got canceled.
Correction: Fixed. Machine data will no longer be reset if a Fee-Only Voucher is canceled.
Complaint: Service Managers noted that they were not able to access videos that Technicians had uploaded to Work Orders.
Correction: An issue was identified where many large files on Work Orders were not downloadable by users. This issue has been resolved.
Complaint: Service Managers noticed that when Sales Orders were linked to Work Orders via the “Link SO as Internal Parts WO” widget, they were not showing on the linked Work Order’s dashboard.
Correction: Fixed, Sales Orders linked to Work Orders via the widget will now be shown when viewing the Work Order.
Complaint: Salespeople reported that initiating a Text-2-Pay payment would not move the invoice forward from “Draft” status.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users noted that when clicking on the email link on a Customer’s dashboard, it would only ever try to send emails to the customer’s default contact email rather than the selected recipient.
Correction: Fixed, all email links on a Customer’s dashboard will now try to send a new email to the address displayed in the link.
Complaint: When changing the Customer from the Point of Sale, users reported not being shown the new customer’s warning note as a popup.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When requesting a customer’s signature on a Work Order Estimate via SMS, users reported not being shown the selected Customer’s phone numbers by default. They had to do a name or number search instead of being at least shown that Customer’s related contacts.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Salespeople have requested all available columns on the Leads list be visible on the All Leads spreadsheet export.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users noticed that the Work Order system would sometimes allow them to check out an already Invoiced Work Order.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Receivers were unable to receive items where the quantities had decimals on the item (some items are not always received in whole numbers).
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Service users noted that when viewing "My Trips" on mobile, the wrong Pickup Address would sometimes be displayed.
Correction: Fixed.
