Status Color Coding

We have added a color coding scheme to status badges of the CRM Leads. This allows users to easily identify the status of their lead. The color coding is outlined below.

Lead List Searching and Filtering

We update the searcher to look across most fields in the lead list. Any fields we are not searching by can be filtered use the selections above the list.

CRM Lead on Customer Dash

If a scan fails to find an associated Item Number, UPC, or EAN, a note line will be created in its place to help prevent unnoticed missed scans. The note line will include the barcode number which was originally scanned. We also show a warning pop-up, but if you have hotkey functionality enabled on your scanner, the popup can be missed if you continue to scan.

Scan Mode

Default Invoice Source

We have added a new setting to allow managers to configure a default invoice source by user.  Previously, this was done at the company level.

To set or edit the default invoice source for a user, navigate to Wrench->Users->Users.  Locate the user you wish to set, click edit, and in the "Other" tab, assign a default invoice source.

Updated user permissions now allows admins to limit users ability to make changes on the Service scheduler such as changing events, and modifying groups.

Accounting

Accounting Period Cutoff Date

Flyntlok settings allow admins to adjust cutoff dates for transactions.

You can now restrict who is allowed to open a posted item voucher.  This will add an internal control that stops users from requesting a reversal of a bill.

Reload Warning

We have implemented a new feature on the work order dashboard. When typing out a cause or correction on the jobs tab of a work order if you moved to a different page before you saved you would lose the text you were currently typing.

Over Usage Billing

Flyntlok is automatically tracking and billing over-usage on rental contracts! If you do not want to bill for overages, leave the hours field blank.

If you want to bill overages, make sure that an Overage Rate is set. The Overage Rate is set on the models' rent schedule template or on the contract! In the case shown below, we are renting this equipment out for 1 week. During that week the customer is allowed 40 hours. Every hour over 40 hours will be billed at $10.

Flyntlok Dealer Management System

To set a contact as primary, edit the contact and check the Primary Contact box.

Flyntlok Dealer Management System

BETA Work Order Updates

By request, we have been moving users over to the new work order system. Thank you for all the great feedback! Please submit a ticket if you would like to start using the new system.

Recommended Jobs for John Deere and Hitachi

After creating a work order for a John Deere or Hitachi machine, we will look for open PIPs. If any are found, they will be listed just below the Add Job button in the new Recommended section of the work order.

Once you select a recommended job, we will pull information directly from John Deere like the PIP title, type, and even the items needed for PIP. If you choose to create the job, we will also create the internal parts order with the required parts for the job.

Job Templates

In order to save you time on creating templates for common jobs, you can now create a job template directly from a job you have on a work order.

Complaint, Cause, Correction

In our new work order, we have moved away from work requested and work done on jobs to a complaint, cause, and correction structure. This gives the opportunity to input the customer's complaint, then the technician's analysis of what caused the problem. The correction field will be used to communicate the work done. Only complaint and correction are required.

Disabled Actions Labels

Description labels appear when a button is disabled to give insight as to why the button is disabled.

Banners

Banners are back! After getting a new look, banners are being reintroduced to update you on important information.

BETA Rental Updates

We will soon be adding more customers to the new rental system. Here are some of the new features that will be available!

Rentable Items

We now support renting out items. To make an item rentable, you will need to edit the item and check the Item Can Be Rented box.

While you are there, you can add rent schedules to cover all of your pricing structures.

Rental Kits

A rental kit consists of one machine and a group of items that must be rented together. An example of this is renting a serialized air compressor with a hose and pressure regulator. The air compressor is the serialized machine, while the air hose and pressure regulator are optional items. When adding the machine to the rental, you can choose the amount of each item you will rent with the machine. These items will then be pulled from inventory when checked out, then added back to inventory when checked in.

Flyntlok Surveys

Customizable Email Templates

We now support customized email templates on each survey template that you send out. If you are interested in adjusting your email template or learning more about our survey system, please reach out to consulting@flyntlok.com!

Store Specific Surveys

If you are a multi-store company, you can now configure your surveys to only send when the sale is closed at a certain store.

$25 VISA GIFT CARD CONTEST

Between today, May 27th, 2021, and June 9th, 2021, we want to reduce unnecessary mouse clicks within the application.  Submit a support ticket with your idea to reduce clicks. As a team, we will determine the most impactful request, implement the changes, and reward that user with a $25 visa gift card!

Automated Customer Satisfaction Surveys

If you have ever wanted to gauge customer satisfaction in real-time then we have the feature for you! We are adding the ability for you to automatically email surveys to your customers after certain actions in the system.  For example, after you close a sale with a customer.

If you have interacted with Flyntlok’s help desk recently, you may have received a survey in your inbox almost instantly. While this alone is great, we wanted to take this feature a step further by building “triggers'' that will allow you to send the surveys either instantly, or after a delay chosen by your business. This tool will not only make your dealership look modern and professional, but also provide you with instant feedback from your customers.

We have teamed up with Survey Monkey as a partner for this feature. This allows Flyntlok to trigger actions for surveys and manage data necessary to tailor your survey.  Survey Monkey manages the survey configuration and provides tooling and reporting around your surveys.  The Flyntlok consulting team can assist with all of the setups.

This ad-hoc feature can be configured for you for a cost of 10 cents a survey.  If you are interested in utilizing this, please contact us at consulting@flyntlok.com or submit a ticket within the application, and we will set up a time to discuss.

New Sales Order PDF (Closed Beta Testing)

We are happy to announce that we are launching a new version of the Invoice/Sales Order PDF.  We will be adding this feature by customer request in the coming weeks! A Flyntlok consultant will reach out to your management team for approval before adding your business to the beta test. This new sales pdf  will soon become the standard within Flyntlok.

Biggest Improvements:

Upcoming

DMS Work Order Dashboard Updates

Over the course of the next two weeks, we will be working on a new implementation of the work order dashboard.  This will be a job-centric dashboard with screen space optimized for tablets and laptops.  Starting 06/09 we will launch a closed beta for this feature and open that beta to customers who are interested in trying out this new dashboard in late June.

DMS Work Order Job Template Manager

Since we are making updates to our work order system, we will take this opportunity to update the job template editor as well.  This will be finalized and out with our release 06/09!

Point of Sale Improvements

New Hotkey “F”

Due to popular demand, we have added a new hotkey to our sales order page. “F” can now be pressed to fulfill as many items as possible on the sales order. We continue to encourage ticket submissions with click reduction ideas!

View Updated Hotkey Cheat Sheet

Cursor Movement After Parts Selection

After using the mouse to select parts from the parts searcher drop down, the cursor will automatically move to the quantity field.

Item Quick Add

We added a link from the POS item quick add dialog to the full new part creation form.  If you had some data already entered into this form, it will be saved and you will continue to edit the newly created part in a new tab. Just remember, the form has to be completely filled out before clicking the advanced button.

We will also start checking for duplicate customers. This should help prevent quickly adding customers that are already in the system.

Sparks Portal

Clicking “Accept Order” Assumes Responsibility

Sparks Orders were being created with a user set to ”Flyntlok System”.  In order to support downstream workflows (like purchase requests), we will assume the user clicking “accept order” will be responsible for that sales order moving forward.

Photos

We fixed a bug causing sparks machines photos to be different than Flyntlok DMS ones. This occurred when a machine's picture was updated from its original version.

Consignments

Dashboard Layout Updates

We optimized this page for laptop uses. Since consignment locations are often remote or on service trucks, we made some layout changes that should give laptop users a better experience. Specifically, any action button should be accessible without the need to side scroll.

Remove Insufficient Quantities

We added a button to remove out-of-stock items when transferring quantities to consignment locations.  When this button is clicked, we will reduce the transfer amount to the max quantity available to get you closer to your target quantity.  Previously, we removed the whole transer.

 

Redirect on Submission of WO Internal Quote

We realized the redirecting between work orders and internal quotes was choppy. We have implemented better redirects to help streamline the process. Upon completing an internal quote you will now be redirected back to the work order you started on. The system will behave exactly as if you bought the parts from an internal account; eliminating clicks and allowing you to enter additional work order data.

Better Error Handling on the User Settings page

You might have run into an error while editing/saving your user settings (such as updating your personal photo) and not realized it. We have now updated that page to communicate errors to you, should one occur.

User Photos - No Permissions Necessary

Being able to put a face to a name is more important now than ever. We made sure that all users are able to add a user photo. No permission is now necessary.

ERP Work Order Updates 

ERP Grading Workflow

Users were mistakenly grading a work order before signing it as assembled or signing the first article inspection.  Now, a work order must be signed as assembled before the option to grade the work order will be made available. If a work order requires first article inspection, that must also be completed before the option to grade will be made available.

Notes Modal (Gabe K - Click Reduction Contest)

This submission came from Gabe K during our click reduction contest. If your mouse left the space on the screen where the modal (pop up) was, the modal would automatically close. We understand that can be frustrating so we made sure that the modal stays open until you choose to click close or save.

Expected Total Cost

We give an extensive breakdown of costs on ERP work orders. We went ahead and added them up for you! This can be found on your ERP work order dashboard.

Quick Searching - Open in New Tab (Gabe K - Click Reduction Contest)

If you have the user setting enabled to open your QuickSearch results in a new tab, we were not leaving the input after you submitted your search.  When you returned to that tab, the QuickSearch guide would overlay over the page and block your view, requiring a click to close it. We have handled that for you now.

Adding Notes Only Available in Draft Status

It is important that closed sales orders remain closed and not changed. A few users found that our new hotkey improvements worked a little too well; allowing notes to be added to sales orders after they were closed. “N” will now only add notes to work orders in draft status.

Searching for Supersessions/Alternates/Cores After Creation

We have continued to improve on last week's core-focused improvements. You will now be able to find newly created cores in the parts searcher immediately after they are created. This will allow you to connect cores to parts immediately, smoothing your workflow.

Customer Unit Number Now Searchable on Work Order Create/Edit

We have added the ability to update, search and link machines to work orders based on the customer-supplied unit number. Previously, the technician had to supply the Flyntlok unit number.

New 🆕

POS Quick Add Customer/ Machine / Item

We have always allowed you to add a customer, item, or machine from the point of sale.  However, we did not add or assign those things to the sales order you were coming from.  Now, you can add each of these from the point of sale without leaving the page. Once you have added a customer, item, or machine, we will assign it to that sales order.

Customer

Machine

Item

Report Customization Selection

We recognize that it can be cumbersome to have to select your custom version of a report from the layout dropdown after the page has loaded.  We will now remember the last custom report layout you had selected, and route you directly to that version.

customviewselector

 

Streamlined Core Receiving

It was brought to our attention that just about everywhere we deal with cores, we assist in managing the core. This fell short at receiving.  We add the core to the PO on your behalf, but we make you receive it manually.

We have updated the receiving of cores to occur automatically when you receive the main part.  While receiving the main part, you have the option to set the core cost and bin.  We also will flag a part as having a core when viewing the PO and Voucher.

Zip Code Lookup

To reduce the amount of manual data entry you have to do, we have added a feature that will lookup the City, State, and Country based on the zip code you have entered. This feature is available anywhere in Flyntlok you are adding an address. Simply tab or click out of the zip code box to take advantage of the feature. Zip Code Lookup currently only supports domestic  (US) zip codes.

Rental Pickup/Delivery Address Create

When creating a pickup or delivery address for a rental, you will see the Zip Code field has been positioned before the city/state.  After inputting the zip code and clicking the tab key, we will look up the city/state associated with that zip code and pre-fill the form on your behalf.

POS Shipping Address Create & Edit

When creating or editing a shipping address on the point of sale, you will see the Zip Code field has been positioned before the city/state.  After inputting the zip code and clicking the tab key, we will look up the city/state associated with that zip code and pre-fill the form on your behalf.

Customer Create & Edit

When creating or editing a customer, you will see the Zip Code field has been positioned before the city/state.  After inputting the zip code and clicking the tab key, we will look up the city/state associated with that zip code and pre-fill the form on your behalf.

Vendor Create & Edit

When creating or editing a vendor, you will see the Zip Code field has been positioned before the city/state.  After inputting the zip code and clicking the tab key, we will look up the city/state associated with that zip code and pre-fill the form on your behalf.

Enhancements 🙌

Increased Logs Viewing

Certain entities (i.e. invoices, work orders, machines, etc.)  in Flyntlok may have thousands of logs associated with them. Previously, you could only review the last 200 logs.  We have now added the ability to view all logs related to an entity. You'll see the option to page through all of the logs. 

Note: The search function will only search through the page you are on!

MRP Sub Costs on Item Dashboard (24894)

After updating our costing calculations for our MRP work orders, it was suggested that we make it easier to review those costs. We have added sub-miscellaneous and sub-labor costs to the item dashboard. 

MRP Expected Total Costs

We were requiring users to break out their calculators to get the expected total cost of a work order. We now give you an Expected Total Costs row in the Details of a work order.

Machine PO Information

Finding information related to the purchase order for a machine required digging through a few different pages. You can now view the details of a purchase order for a machine directly from the machine's dashboard.

POS Cash Payment

Requiring two numbers to be input on cash sales causes confusion and takes up time. The Amount Applied to Transaction box will prefill based on the amount input into the Amount Tendered box.

Consignment Item Transfers

We didn't offer an option to transfer items from one consignment location to another. Now, if two consignment locations use the same fulfillment location, you can transfer items between the two locations.

Consignment Restocking

When restocking a consignment location, we didn't show the QOH of the item at the store. We now show the store QOH and, when restocking, will indicate if you have enough at the store to fulfill the target quantity at the consignment location.

Resolutions 🐛

POS Green Checkmarks on Work Order Billing (25052)

A green “fulfilled” checkmark would not show on the line items that were billed out on a work order in certain instances. All items being billed on a final bill out of a work order are technically “fulfilled,” so we fixed the point of sale to reflect that accurately.

Machine PO - Options (24710)

Pre-configured machine options that were set on a PO were not carrying through to the machine.  We have fixed this so all selected options on an ordered model carry through to the machine record that is created.

Machine PO - Date Sync (25087)

We removed the date sync on machine PO’s a few weeks ago. This auto-sync was wreaking havoc on data in certain instances.  We have added an option to sync these dates to all machines on the PO at your request.

Machine Search - Post Search Filter

If a machine search returns more than 500 records, we ask that you refine your search and provide you links to look for only sold or available machines.  These links were broken after an update we made to the searcher.  We have fixed them!

Machine Search - Work Order Editing (24997)

While editing a work order, you can now search for machines by the customer unit number.

Updating User Profile Photo Error

We were not appropriately warning you when there was an error updating your user photo. Sorry! You will see an error moving forward.

Searching Newly Created Cores

When creating a core from the item creation/edit screen you were not able to immediately search those newly created items. We have fixed that and you can search those core items as soon as they are created!

Links to Markdown Documentation

We were accidentally routing you to our old support site for documentation on how to use markdown.  We have updated that to point to the new site.

Machine Sale Warning

We fixed a bug that was causing the point of sale to warn you about machine sales when there were returns or trade-ins listed on the sale.  You shouldn't receive a warning in those cases.

Adding Note Lines to Sales Orders Past Draft Status

We fixed a bug that allowed you to add a note line with the hotkey "N" when a sales order was not in draft status.  You will now only be able to use that hotkey when a sales order is in "Draft" status.

New 🆕

Flat Rate Jobs

You can now create flat-rate job templates and flat-rate jobs on work orders! When adding a job to a work order, you can indicate that it will be a flat rate job and input the amount that it will be billed out for.

When creating a template for a job, you can indicate that it is a flat rate and the amount that it will be billed for. When this job is added to a work order, that amount will follow.

When invoicing the work order, the flat rate job will be its own line on the invoice. The description will be populated with the work that was done on the job. All the labor and parts that were used to complete the flat rate job will show as bullet points under that job.

Accounting
When posting these sales orders, all the items linked to a flat rate job are still associated with the sale and their cost will book correctly. The line of the job on the sales order will book the revenue to either the service income account for the vendor set on the job template, the service income of the machine on the work order, the service income of the machine's vendor on the work order, or the default income account for the company.

New Notifications Controls

We have added notification settings for machine moves and purchase order exceptions. To manage these, click your name in the upper right of Flyntlok and choose preferences. From there, click View Notification Settings.

Here is a quick link to get you there: My Preferences

Enhancements 🙌

Better visibility on Electronically Submitted PO's

POs electronically submitted to your vendor by Flyntlok are shown in the information sections of the purchase orders. Flyntlok currently has these integrations with John Deere, Hitachi, Stihl, Volvo, and Epiroc.

For item purchase orders:

For machine purchase orders:

Coates Power Equipment (Walker) is excluded from this due to the nature of that integration. If you are not currently submitting electronic PO's to Coates Power Equipment, we highly encourage you to reach out to them!

Issues Resolved 🐛

Added Mexico States to Shipping Addresses

When choosing Mexico as the country for a shipping address, you can now select the appropriate state.

Most Common Parts on POS

We fixed a bug with the option for adding your customer's most common parts to a sale. You can now click the wrench next to the customer and add the most common parts they purchase from you in a breeze!

 

Saving a Customers Credit Card from the Customer Dashboard

There was an awkward popup on Google Chrome when you store a credit card from the customer's dashboard. We made some changes on our end to prevent that from happening again!
