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.

Bobcat dealers expressed a need to access real-time inventory data within Bobcat OPC from Flyntlok and to efficiently manage pick lists created within OPC between the two systems.
Solution
To address this need, we have integrated Bobcat OPC with Flyntlok, providing two key capabilities:
Real-time Inventory Access
Dealers can now view inventory details from Flyntylok such as bin locations, quantities on hand (QOH), quantities on order (O/O), and pricing directly within the Bobcat OPC. To view the inventory details of the parts within the Bobcat OPC go to “Parts Catalog” and select a part you want to view. The opened modal will include the “DMS Availability” section populated with inventory data from Flyntlok.
The inventory data can also be viewed from within the pick list on the Bobcat OPC.
Pick lists Export
Dealers can export pick lists created in Bobcat OPC to Flyntlok, allowing for easy creation of draft Sales Orders or Internal Parts Orders. To export a pick list from Bobcat OPC to Flyntlok, while in the pick list on Bobcat OPC, click “Export As” and select “DMS” from the dropdown.
To view the exported pick lists back in Flyntlok, open the left sidebar, navigate to the “Parts” section, and click on the “Bobcat OPC Pick List” link.
On this page, you can view the list of parts on the pick list by clicking on the “View Parts” button.
To create a draft Sales Order, click the “Create Sales Order” button and follow the prompt.

Opportunity
Salespeople, who make use of the automated workflow tool Zapier, have expressed an interest in automating the process of lead creation in Flyntlok by integrating these two wicked cool products.
Solution
To address this need, an app was created in Zapier that integrates with Flyntlok. This app allows users to automate the creation of leads in Flyntlok through various triggers and actions within Zapier.
The following fields are exposed to Zapier via our interface:
Contact your friendly Flyntlok consultant if you would like to integrate us with your Zapier implementation.
Opportunity: Salespeople requested the ability to see the quantity on hand (QOH) directly on a Quote. Currently, users must approve or modify the quote to view QOH, leading to potential miscommunication about stock availability.
Solution: We added the display of QOH on the item lines within the Quote. This change will enable salespeople to accurately inform customers about stock availability without needing to approve or modify the quote.
Opportunity: Sales Managers have requested the ability to apply discounts to items based on their original list price, not the current displayed price. Otherwise, if the customer already has a discount in place, this would apply a discount to a discount (which is awesome for your customers, but not for you!).
Solution: Flyntlok introduced an option to apply discounts to each line item based on their original list price, ensuring each discount is calculated correctly from the list price rather than compounding discounts. This option is available only if the tenant is configured to calculate discounts line-by-line.
The "Apply Discount" form will now include two options for discount application:
Opportunity: Salespeople requested that when processing a Sales Order for an “Account Customer”, they would like to be able to more easily track if a signature had been collected on a Sales Order.
Solution: We have introduced a new option to display a warning when attempting to process a Sales Order. This prompt will show up when clicking on "Apply Payment & Process" if the Customer is an Account Customer, and their signature has not yet been collected.
It will also show a message by the Process button:
The warnings can be enabled via the Wrench Icon -> Flyntlok Settings
To further improve visibility, we have added a "Signed" badge at the bottom of the page. This feature is enabled for all standard Sales Orders.
Opportunity: Salespeople requested support for our more streamlined “Pay & Process” workflow when requesting payments via Text-2-Pay.
Solution: You can now select “Initiate Payment & Process” when requesting payments via Text-2-Pay.
Opportunity: Service Managers have requested the ability to copy files from one Work Order or Job to another, especially when dealing with Warranty Work Orders, which might be split off from the original Work Order or onto new Jobs.
Solution: We have introduced a dialogue box that allows users to copy both Work Order-level files and Job-level files to other Work Orders and Jobs as desired.
Click on the transfer icon on the file line:
To transfer a file from one Job to another the form requires the user to select a Work Order and a Job. Users also have an option to keep the original file.
Opportunity: Service Managers requested the ability to set a customer-pre-approved dollar amount on a work order and to be informed when this amount is exceeded by the projected or actual cost of the work order.
Solution: Users can now choose to apply a work order pre-approved amount when creating a work order.
Once on the work order dashboard, this will be visible in General section of the page. It can also be edited here.
If, for any reason, the actual or projected cost of the work order exceeds this amount, a red banner will appear on the top of the work order dashboard.
Anyone who is signed up to be notified when this happens will receive a notification.
Once the costs are equal to or below the pre-approved amount, the banner will disappear.
Additionally, users can set a default pre-approved amount on the customer edit page.
This amount will be automatically applied to work orders for this customer unless it is overridden at the time of creation.
Opportunity: Receiving Managers requested that the “Responsible Locations” of machines automatically update when the location on a Machine Receiving Voucher is changed.
Solution: Flyntlok introduced a prompt that appears when the location on a Machine Receiving Voucher is modified. This prompt asks users if they want to update the physical locations of the machines to match the updated location on the voucher.
Opportunity: Salespeople requested the ability to view and edit a Machine's comments from the mobile view.
Solution: We now show the Machine comments on our Mobile Machine Dashboard. It is editable by clicking "Edit" on the page.
Opportunity: Sales Managers expressed the need for Task related notifications so that users are made aware when a task has been assigned to them.
Solution: Users are now able to receive notifications when they are assigned to a Task, either as the primary or secondary person on the task.
How to Enable Notifications:
Complaint: When printing out or emailing a Work Order the tax amount is not included in the total.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported errors when an Item was set as a Kit sub-item of itself.
Correction: We no longer allow a user to set an Item that is a Kit to be its own sub-item. Waaay too circular…
Complaint: Users reported not being able to apply an above-cost discount to some parts orders.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported that processing a Job that didn’t have any Parts Orders would not mark the job as “Approved”.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported that if you clicked into the Quantity or Fulfilled Quantity fields on the Point of Sale, the cursor would get placed at the end of the number. So if you wanted to change the value, it required that you highlight/select the whole field value first. This issue was both error prone and required extra clicks.
Correction: Fixed. If you click into either of the Quantity fields, we highlight/select the existing value so that if you type in a new value it will overwrite the previous value.
Complaint: Users reported that all Flyntlok journal entries were taking a very long time to process.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported that the incoming call page would crash when receiving calls from some numbers.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Salespeople reported that they would accidentally change the payment amount with the mouse scroller.
Correction: Scrolling with the mouse in the payment field has been disabled.
Complaint: After accepting a Quote, users reported seeing the cost of the Quote’s Model lines change.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported being shown non-sellable machines when associating machines to model lines on the Point of Sale.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported discount structures not being correctly applied to Kits on the Point of Sale.
Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: When editing an Item Purchase Order, a shipping method would be chosen by default. However, users could not change the default that was being selected, and they may not have realized a shipping method was being chosen automatically.
Correction: Fixed. The shipping method selector now displays a prompt to select a shipping method if one is not set, making it more obvious when a shipping method has not been chosen.
Complaint: Users, particularly those in the Northeast of the US, but ultimately any real basketball fan, have complained about the fact that the Boston Celtics have not won the championship since 2008. This has been particularly frustrating some years because they clearly had the better team, especially in 2023.
Correction: Fixed. Flyntlok made sure that the most talented NBA team in recent history (probably since '86 Celts) won the championship this year in an epic manner and clearly illustrated to all of North America that they are the best team in the league. Our Boston office is currently coordinating the Duck Boat parade with city officials.

Opportunity
Salespeople have expressed interest in being able to customize the list of statuses they are able to assign to a Lead, which would allow companies to tailor their Lead process to fit their individual needs.
Solution
We have created a new settings page for CRM that can be accessed by those with administrator accounts via the Admin Settings page. Users can add a new status using a button at the top of the Lead Statuses tab and edit individual statuses by clicking on an individual status badge. Either of these actions will open a modal that will allow the user to edit a status’s name, type, badge color, and default status.
Users can also choose a status to be the default for all new Leads by clicking the checkbox next to a status name in the Status Pipeline columns. Statuses can be deleted as long as they are not currently set as the default. Deleted statuses will be visible on leads already using them, but will no longer be available as status options for newer leads.
Drag and drop the statuses within type columns to reorder how they show up in Lead status edit menus across Flyntlok. Within the Status field dropdown on a Lead, the statuses will be ordered first by the New values, then the Open, then Closed, and within those levels they will be sorted as ordered within those stages in the settings page.
A new column called status type has been added to the All Leads table which is hidden by default and can be added to the grid from the column chooser. As the name suggests this column contains the type of the status which is one of NEW, OPEN or CLOSED. You can create custom saved grid views using this field, such as "All New and Open" leads, or "All Closed Leads".
Opportunity
Dealers that make use of texting within the context of CRM asked for the ability to block texts from certain phone numbers because they were receiving a high volume of spam.
Solution
Users can now add numbers to a “Block List”. Texts from these numbers will automatically be filtered from the list of conversations, but can be viewed by toggling a filter.
To block a phone number click on the “Block” button on the left side of the footer:
Once clicked it will open a modal where users can provide a reason for the block:
To see blocked phone numbers toggle the filter “Include Blocked Numbers”:
To unblock the phone number click on either “Unblock” text in the middle of the conversation or unblock button on the left side of the footer:
Opportunity
Hitachi dealerships have requested the ability to track telematics data for their Hitachi machines, for use in service, rental, and sales workflows.
Solution
We have created a link between Flyntlok and Hitachi to receive Hitachi telematics data in Flyntlok. Once connected, tenants will be able to track the last known location, miles, and hours data for any associated machines within Flyntlok.
We have added a Hitachi settings page to the “Integrations'' hub page, reachable through Editors(wrench) > Editors > Integrations > Hitachi. This page allows administrators to connect their company’s Hitachi account to Flyntlok using their credentials. Simply provide your username and password and click “Submit Credentials'' to do so.
Once connected, Flyntlok will daily ingest machine miles, hours, and last known location data from Hitachi for the machines with matching serial numbers. The data is updated automatically and can be viewed on the machine’s dashboard.
Opportunity
Users requested the addition of an "Engine Make" field on the machine dashboard.
Solution
Added the "Engine Make" field to the machine dashboard.
Opportunity
Rental Managers requested that notes from rental-contract-related Reservations be added to the Rental Contracts on creation.
Solution
Notes and comments from Rental Reservations are copied over to generated Rental Contracts.
Opportunity
Salespeople asked that the available QOH shown for models on the invoice page only reflect the in-store quantity and not the amount “On Order”.
Solution
The on-order quantity was separated from the available QOH and is now displayed in separate badge details.
Opportunity
Service Managers requested a warning to be displayed when invoicing a Work Order with a Virtual Machine.
Solution
Added an option to display a warning when invoicing a Work Order with a Virtual Machine.
Opportunity
Service Managers expressed the need to see warning notes on the Work Order creation page, not just the Sales Order page.
Solution
Added customer warning notes to the Work Order creation page. Warning notes are now visible while searching for the customer and after selecting the customer.
Opportunity
Service Managers requested the ability to display separate subtotals for labor and parts on Work Order Invoices and Quote Reports.
Solution
Added a setting to display separate subtotals for labor and parts on both Work Order Invoices and Quote Reports.
To enable the setting, open the wrench menu at the top of the screen and go to "Flyntlok" → "Flyntlok Settings". You can find this setting in the "Sales" section as a toggle called "Display detailed subtotal breakdown on report".
Complaint: Customers using Sage Intacct reported that some entries were posted multiple times. This issue occurred when multiple users initiated postings simultaneously, causing collisions and duplication of entries.
Cause/Correction: To prevent collisions and duplications, posting to Sage Intacct is now limited to one process at a time.
Complaint: Salespeople reported discrepancies in the final price shown on the Sales Order Report. When a Sales Order uses the “Consolidated Model Lines” setting and it includes the same models with different prices, the report mistakenly consolidates them, displaying the same price and leading to inaccurate calculations.
Cause/Correction: The model-consolidation was revised to ensure model lines are separated/distinct by both model and price, preventing mispricing and ensuring accurate reports.
Complaint: Salespeople noted that the links to quotes in the Quotes Expiration Notifications were not working.
Cause/Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Users reported issues with payments for invoices from QuickBooks Online not syncing to Flyntlok consistently. Invoices in QuickBooks Online were being marked as paid, but this was not being reflected in Flyntlok.
Cause/Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Sales managers requested that users not be able to change the customer on a paid invoice to an “Internal Customer”.
Cause/Correction: If any invoice has been paid for by an actual customer, the invoice’s customer cannot be changed to an “Internal Customer”.

Opportunity
Salespeople have requested more effective filtering in the SMS Inbox to help them better respond to Customers in a timely fashion. Additionally, they requested more information be shown about a conversation to help them understand what a Customer may be asking about.
Solution
First, we have split what was previously the "CRM Hub" into 2 pages: the SMS Inbox and Campaigns. You can find both in the CRM section of the sidebar as “SMS Inbox (CRM Hub)” and “Campaigns (CRM Hub).”
In the SMS Inbox, open the updated Filters section and you’ll find several new options to narrow down what conversations you’re viewing. Filters within the new “Sent message about'' section allows you to find conversations with messages sent from elsewhere in Flyntlok. For example, "Campaign" lets you find conversations containing messages from a specific campaign and "Customer" lets you find conversations with messages sent from a specific customer’s dashboard. Invoice, Lead, Rental Contract, and Work Order allow you to only see conversations with messages sent from any of the indicated pages.
We’ve also added 4 more general filters to help limit the number of Conversations shown to you:
SMS messages sent from the following pages will now be marked in a conversation to provide a better idea of what that conversation is about:
You can click the link to view the page that message was sent from.
Opportunity
Salespeople have expressed interest in being able to see more data associated with a phone number when a new call comes in, which will allow them to have more context upfront before they decide on a course of action.
Solution
We have extended the capability of our integration with the RingCentral desktop application. We have an updated URL that will support the ‘name’ parameter, and can be entered into RingCentral’s settings under the ‘Manage external apps or URLs for incoming calls’ section. The new URL is - “https://flyntlok.com/ajax/phoneCall?phone=%E&name=%N”. Now when a phone call comes in, a new tab will open in Flyntlok that will display a dashboard with centralized information about any leads or customers associated with that phone number.
The “New Call” page will show the phone number and name of the caller at the top of the page as passed on from RingCentral. If a phone number has been associated with any customer in the past, the most recent actions related to the customer will show up in the Associated Customer Card, along with a link to the Customer Dashboard. If more than one customer is associated with this phone number, information about those other customers will be shown in a collapsible list below the primary Customer Card. Leads associated with the phone number will also show up in a similar manner.
Users will be able to choose to open any of the customers or leads associated with the phone number to continue working with the existing item, or they can create a new lead by clicking on the “Create New Lead” button at the top of the page.
The Incoming Call Page after expanding the collapsible data elements.
Opportunity: Sales Managers have requested the ability to attach images to CRM Campaigns. Including a photo or file with a Campaign would increase the attractiveness of a message and could result in a higher conversion rate for potential sales.
Solution: We have updated CRM Campaigns to support file attachments. Users can attach a file when creating or editing a Campaign. A full preview of the text and attachment can be reviewed before and after sending.
Opportunity
Salespeople have expressed a need to request signatures from customers on a Sales Order via email, which would simplify their signature gathering process.
Solution
Salespeople now have the ability to send signature requests via email from the Point of Sale. Click the Request Signature button and fill out your customer’s information to get started.
You can view previously signed versions of an Invoice by clicking “View Collected Signatures” in the Details section.
Signatures collected manually and via a card machine will now also save a signed copy of the invoice that can be viewed here.
Opportunity: Receiving Clerks and Parts Managers have requested the ability to limit the amount of labels that were being generated on Receiving Voucher label printing. For parts departments who, for example, use bins instead of individually labeling each part, reducing the number of labels would save costs and paper waste.
Solution: We have added a button to the Receiving Voucher page called "Print Stocking Label for Each Item". This will generate one label per item, regardless of its received quantity. Additionally, you now have the option to exclude Special Order item labels from being printed.
Opportunity: Managers have requested the need to restrict editing of accounting fields when editing or creating items.
Solution: We have updated the Item Dashboard to lock editing based on a new permission. Admins can find this new permission in Access Controls -> Inventory -> Item Editing. This will toggle editing on Item Income, Expense, and Asset Account fields.
Opportunity: Managers using the recently-released Machine Warning Note feature have requested that this note be visible on Work Order pages.
Solution: We have updated the Work Order Dashboard and Work Order creation to display this note when the machine is selected.
Opportunity: Service Managers have stated the need to undo a job Approval or Rejection. Previously, a user could only change an Approved job to Rejected, or vice versa.
Solution: We have added additional actions to Work Order Dashboard Jobs. If the job has been previously Approved or Rejected, the status can now be cleared.
Opportunity: Rental Managers have requested the need to quickly view invoices that were returned against a previous Rental Contract invoice. This would help them reduce the possibility of the costly mistake of missing a billing period for a customer if a return was not immediately visible.
Solution: We have updated Rental Dashboard to clearly display when a returned Invoice is recognized against a previously billed contract. The returned invoice will be shown underneath the original Sales Invoice.
Opportunity: Rental Managers have requested to have more specific billing information at-a-glance when reviewing Rental Contracts to be billed. We previously only showed Next Bill and Last Bill dates.
Solution: We have added two new columns: Next Billing Period and Last Bill Invoice. Next Billing Period will show the billing period of the next upcoming billing cycle for each Rental Contract. The Last Bill Invoice column is a link to the most recently generated Invoice for each Rental Contract.
Complaint: Purchasing Managers mentioned that when using MPO Vouchers and reviewing machines to allocate to Sales Orders, sometimes a line would show as having available Sales Orders to associate when there were actually none available.
Cause/Correction: Fixed. Additionally, all MPO Voucher users should now have been moved over to the latest version of Machine Allocation.
Complaint: Technicians using the Work Order Parts Request feature noted that the Parts Searcher was not pulling in all available parts, and displaying incorrect item identifiers.
Cause/Correction: We have made several updates to this feature: the Parts Searcher should now be searching the complete parts catalog, and the parts displayed should now be showing its proper item numbers. We have also made improvements to the layout.
Complaint: Rental users in multi-location dealerships mentioned that when searching for machines to rent, they would notice some "Available Machines" incorrectly marked as “Conflict” status.
Cause/Correction: We have updated the Rental Searcher to correctly display availability for multi-location dealerships.
Complaint: Accountants using QuickBooks Online stated that loading Payments into Flyntlok was taking a lot more time than usual, and would sometimes fail after an extended period of time.
Cause/Correction: We identified that this was caused by attempting to load in a large number of payments. We have made significant improvements to this functionality to handle larger loads.
Complaint: Rental users who bill by the hour noticed that the start and end times they would enter into the New Rental page would sometimes carry over the wrong date and duration to the Rental Contract.
Cause/Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Rental Managers mentioned that when invoicing a rental for a machine configured with attachments, its attachments were not showing on the invoice.
Cause/Correction: Fixed.
Complaint: Purchasing Managers noted that when a machine is received on a voucher, and the voucher is then canceled, some of the machine data from the canceled voucher remained on the machine.
Cause/Correction: We now clear the serial number, vendor PO associations, and date received of machines on a canceled voucher.

Sales Managers have expressed the need to improve the handling of high-volume quantity of Machines→Models association at the Point of Sale.
An option has been made available for all Flyntlok users to perform the association of multiple machines with their respective model lines in a single action. This should improve the sales process, reducing the time and effort required for Machine to Model associations.
To do a bulk Machines→Models association click on the 
“Associate” button on one of the Model lines to open a modal window for Machine association.
Then, once the Associate window is open, you have the option of either clicking on the “Single” or “Multiple” tab. If you click on the "Multiple" tab, you can then select the Machines that you want to associate to the specific Model. This tab will also include the Models Total Quantity as well as the number of Models that have been associated. You can also set the Salesperson. Click the “Associate Machines” button and all selected Machines will associate.
Opportunity: Salespeople have requested the ability edit additional fields when creating a machine from a trade-in, including Description, Hours, and Mileage.
Solution: The machine trade-in form has been updated to include the Description, Hours, and Mileage fields. With these, salespeople can input these details directly from the Sales Order. This will save them time as it eliminates the need to navigate to the machine’s dashboard then edit the machine.
Opportunity: Salespeople have requested that the Sales Order “Thermal Receipt” have the option to display line-level discounts. This option is already available on the full-page-print version of the Sales Order.
Solution: The Sales Order “Thermal Receipt” layout has been updated to include line-level discounts (percentage and dollar discount from list). The existing flag “Show per Item Discount on Sales Order” in Flyntlok Settings will now apply to thermal receipts as well.
Volvo dealerships have requested the ability to track telematics data on their machines in order to use it in sales, rental, and service workflows. Volvo will send out positioning and utilization data about every Volvo machine a dealership owns on a daily basis at a time chosen by the dealership.
Flyntlok will ingest Volvo’s daily telematics updates for a dealership that is interested in receiving this data. The interface maps the telematics data using a machine’s VIN as a reference. The dealership will need to ensure that all Volvo VIN’s are accurate and up-to-date in Flyntlok.
The updated latitude, longitude, and machine hours data will be visible on the machine dashboard as illustrated below.
If you are interested in this feature, please work with your friendly Flyntlok Consultant to get this interface setup with Volvo.
Opportunity: Fleet Managers have requested the ability to track machine hours down to the decimal, providing more accuracy when logging a machine’s utilization.
Solution: We have updated machines to support a decimal place when inputting hours. This change brings Machine Hours in line with Machine Miles, with both now able to capture a decimal place.
Machine Dashboard Warning Note
Opportunity: Flyntlok users have requested the ability to display a warning on the Machine Dashboard, similar to the warnings on Customer Dashboard.
Solution: The Machine Dashboard has been updated to display Warning Notes, which can be added by editing the machine. After adding the warning note, any future visit to that machine’s dashboard will show a popup at the top of the screen presenting the entered note.
Salespeople and managers have requested the ability to send Work Order Estimate Approval links via SMS, in addition to the already existing email functionality. This would make the estimate approval process more accessible for the customers of our dealers.
A new “SMS Request” option has been made under the Estimate’s “Actions” button in the Work Order Dashboard. The original “Send Request” button has been re-named “Email Request” to differentiate it from this option.
When users select the SMS Request option, they can search for contacts tied to the Work Order’s customer by name or phone number, and select contacts to send the estimate approval link to. Customers will be sent a text message from Flyntlok with a link that leads to the approval page.
Once a request has been sent via either SMS or email, a green paper plane icon will appear next to the estimate date to indicate that it has been sent to the customer.
Service Managers have asked for the ability to attach files and jobs at the point of creating a Service Request. Additionally, there was a request to keep users informed about the status of Service Requests, including their creation, approval, and rejection.
Service Requests now include options to add predefined job templates and display any mandatory jobs, if applicable. These templates will be applied to the Work Order once the Service Request receives approval.
We have introduced a File Upload Capability, allowing users to attach files directly to their Service Requests. The attached files will automatically be associated with the corresponding Work Order post-approval.
Enhanced notifications will ensure that Service Managers receive alerts when a Service Request is initiated. Automated notifications will also update requesters about the approval or rejection of their requests.
Opportunity: Service Managers have requested the ability to see a Work Order’s location in the Jobs table when scheduling jobs from the Jobs Service Scheduler.
Solution: A new column has been added to the Jobs table displaying the Work Order’s location.
Opportunity: Service Managers requested the ability to use Work Order Job templates from the Work Order Mobile page.
Solution: When adding a job to a Work Order on the mobile view, there is a new field where a job template can be selected. Choosing a job template from here will work just like the desktop version of a Work Order and appropriate fields will be filled based on the selected template.
Opportunity: Service Techs and Service Managers have requested the ability to view “Configured Attachments” on machines when viewing the machine on a Work Order.
Solution: Work Order Dashboard has been updated to show a list of attached machines when selected.
Opportunity: Service and Parts Managers have requested more flexibility when setting up automated status-change rules on Work Orders. For example, while Flyntlok currently has a feature in place that can update a Work Order status when an Estimate has been signed, it would be useful if the Work Order could be placed into a specific status based on whether that signed estimate was fully approved or rejected.
Solution: Several new "Event Rules" have been added to our status-automation feature for when these events occur in Flyntlok:
Contact a consultant to have these new rules configured for your environment.
Opportunity: Service Managers have expressed confusion about the ability to add “Inactive Parts” to Work Order Job Templates.
Solution: We have updated the Work Order Job Templates editor page. Inactive parts will be excluded when editing the parts list. Additionally, any parts that were made inactive that already exist on job templates will now show an indicator that the part is currently inactive.
Opportunity: Salespeople have requested the ability to see “Internal Notes” as well as the “Expected Revenue” for a Lead from the “All Leads” view. Previously, these fields could only be viewed after clicking into a Lead.
Solution: The “All Leads” view has been updated to display both Expected Revenue and Internal Notes from the lead. With these columns, salespeople can now enhance their searching, sorting, and filtering. For example, these can be used to search for specific notes or to sort by the most valuable leads. Additionally, salespeople will see more information at a glance when reviewing all their leads.
Opportunity: Salespeople have requested links to Machines and Models from the Leads table.
Solution: Machines/Models that are displayed on the Leads table now have links back to the actual Machine or Model.
Opportunity: Inventory Managers have requested that Flyntlok display more details on the line items within the kit configuration.
Solution: The kit configuration has been updated to display the cost and list for each item, and now has links to the item’s details (whether Items or Models).
Opportunity: Purchasers have requested the ability to specify a location for their Purchase Plans when creating a purchase from the Item Dashboard.
Solution: We have updated the Order Item modal to support a location selection. Purchasers can now choose a location for their Purchase Plan at the time of creation.
Opportunity: Managers have requested the ability to limit which users can submit Machine Purchase Orders for approval.
Solution: A new permission has been added to allow/restrict the submission of Machine Purchase Orders. Administrators can configure this by navigating to the Access Control page, the new permission is named “Submit for Approval” under the Machine Purchase Order section.
Opportunity: Managers have requested the ability to limit which users can manage/use stored credit cards on a customer.
Solution: Two new permissions have been added around saved credit cards. The first permission allows viewing/adding saved credit cards on a customer via the Customer Dashboard. The second permission allows the actual use of saved credit cards at the point of sale. Administrators can configure these permissions by navigating to the Access Control page, the new permissions are named “Manage Saved Credit Cards” and “Use Saved Credit Cards” under the Customer section.
Opportunity: Flyntlok users have requested the ability to edit or delete Customer Notes that were added to a customer on the Customer Dashboard.
Solution: The Customer Dashboard has been updated with an edit and delete function for notes added. Edits and deletions are visible in the customer's logs.
#49700
Complaint: Salespeople noticed the indicator that a part had been superseded was not shown when they searched for some superseded parts.
Cause/Correction: We’ve updated the supersession indicator in the Parts Searcher to properly display when a part is superseded.
#50670
Complaint: Service Managers noticed that when processing a Work Order Job, rejected Parts Request quotes would still attempt to pull parts from inventory.
Cause/Correction: Inventory will not be pulled for Rejected Parts Request quotes.
#50838
Complaint: Our customers noticed the status column on the Quick Search page was always empty for machines that were on rent.
Cause/Correction: We’ve updated the Quick Search page to properly display the “Rented” status along with a link to the Rental Contract.
#51131
Complaint: Receivers reported that customers were being notified that their special order had been received despite not being warned ahead of time that a notification was going to go out.
Cause/Correction: We have updated the parts receiving workflow to properly display the existing Customer Notification indicator.
#51303
Complaint: Salespeople noticed that the automated “Opt Out” text message would be sent repeatedly while messaging a customer via SMS.
Cause/Correction: We have updated the SMS service to properly identify if a customer had been sent the automated “Opt Out” text message before. If a customer has received this text, they should no longer receive the automated messages.

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.

This integration will provide seamless payment processing, modern card devices, the ability to collect signatures via card devices, and an overall better payment experience. Please reach out to the Flyntlok support team if you would like to start the migration process or if you need any additional information!
We recently added a new feature allowing you to sell a group of parts as a kit, with a customized list price. You will now be able to create and add Quick Kits to a Sales Order on a per-order basis. The quick kit will serve as a one-time-only deal and not be saved in Flyntlok.
We have added a new feature, allowing users to hide kit items on a Sales Order PDF. This will allow you to print out receipts and invoices where the kit’s subitems are not presented, only showing the parent item and the customized list price.
Administrators will be able to activate this feature by navigating to the Flyntlok Settings page. Wrench->Flyntlok->Flyntlok Settings->Reports
We have also added a feature to remove tax detail lines from the Sale Order PDF. If activated, Sale Order tax lines will be removed from the PDF document, only showing in the balance sheet. To activate this feature you will navigate to the Flyntlok Settings page.
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.
Purchase OrdersWe 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.

We now support the workflow for when you are shorted parts or are sent damaged parts. The shortage scenario is when a vendor doesn't send the total amount of requested parts but they still bill you for the total amount. They then send you a credit for the parts that weren't sent and require you to reorder the part or wait for a new one to be sent. The damaged scenario is when the vendor sends you a damaged item, which requires you to return that item, then wait to receive a new one, or create an order for a new one.
These two scenarios will need to be set up as PO exceptions. If your company runs into either of these situations, please reach out to Flyntlok, and we can help get you set up.
When you have the exceptions set up, this is what the exception report will look like:
Flyntlok can now restrict discounts down to the item division, item department, and vendor levels or any combination of these. This allows for specific groups of parts to be discount at a certain rate for a customer.
We also support margin as a discount basis. When this is selected, it will calculate using cost/(1-%) (% = being the percentage of margin for the sale).
To edit or add these discount structures, head to the admin editors in the upper right, then Point of Sale -> Discount Structures.
Next week we will be releasing the editor that allows you to assign multiple different discount structures to a customer!
We took another stab at how we are handling journal entries on the back end. This should correct issues where Flyntlok becomes unaware that a transaction has been deleted, and you get stuck in a dead-end.
When billing out a DMS work order, we now group the labor lines by the type of labor used and the job that it was billed on. Along with the technician names, we will show the job name the labor was clocked for.
Only the first page will show the header with your company name, logo, and work order information. The information can be found in the footer on all pages. This helps reduce paper waste and gives more space for the details of the work order. Save the trees!
In the transactions for an item, we now distinguish regular item transfers from quick item transfers.
