CRM

SMS Inbox Improvements

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:

  1. “Conversations I’m in”: Will only show you Conversations you’ve sent a message in.
  2. “Unread”: Has a new option called “By company” which only shows Conversations that nobody in your company has read yet (vs messages that you personally haven't read).
  3. “Ignore Campaign Messages:” Allows you to view your recent Conversations without getting flooded with messages sent through any Campaign.
  4. Date Range: The previous singular “Date” filter has been replaced with a date range so you can find any Conversations with messages sent on or between the given dates.

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.

RingCentral Redirect Improvements

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 on the initial load, hiding older details.

The Incoming Call Page after expanding the collapsible data elements.

Images on CRM Campaigns [#51472]

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.

Point of Sale

Request Point of Sale Signature via Email

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.

Parts

Limit Item Labels on Receiving Voucher [#51438]

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.

Permissions for Editing Item Accounting Information [#51738]

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.

Service

Machine Warning Note on Work Order [#51465]

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.

Undo Job Approval or Rejection [#51637]

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.

Rental

Returned Invoices on Rental [#51477]

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.

Additional Information on Rental Billings [#51429]

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.

Resolved Issues

#51670

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.

#51615

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.

Full descriptions of parts with links.

 

Search results will show the full description, QOH, and list.

#51305

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.

#51351

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.

#50951

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.

#51654

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.

#51718

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.

Point of Sale

Multiple Machine Allocation

Opportunity

Sales Managers have expressed the need to improve the handling of high-volume quantity of Machines→Models association at the Point of Sale.

Solution

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.

Additional Fields on Machine Trade-Ins

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.

Display or Hide Line-Level Discounts on Thermal Receipt

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.

Machines

Volvo CareTrack Telematics

Opportunity

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.

Solution

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.

Increase Precision of Machine Hours

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.

Service

Work Order Estimates via SMS

Opportunity

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.

Solution

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.

Files, Job Templates, and Notifications on Service Requests

Opportunity

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.

Solution

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.

Show Work Order Location on Job Service Scheduler

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.

Use Work Order Job Templates While Creating Jobs on Mobile

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.

View Configured Attachments from Work Order

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.

New Event Rules for Work Order Automations

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.

Improve Inactive Parts on Work Order Job Templates

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.

CRM

Show Internal Notes & Expected Revenue on All Leads View

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.

Link to Machines & Models from All Leads View

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.

Other Changes

More Information When Configuring a Kit

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).

Set Location on New Purchase Plans

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.

Restrict Who Can Submit Machine Purchase Orders

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.

Restrict Who Can Edit a Customer's Stored Cards

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.

Allow Editing and Deleting Customer Notes

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.

 


Resolved Issues

#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.

CRM Hub

Updated Leads System

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!

Sales

Tracking Number Search- (Ticket# FD-796,  41797)
Opportunity:

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.

Resolution:

You will now be able to search for tracking numbers associated with a Sales Order using the S? prefix from the Flyntlok searcher.

Track Shipment      Tracking Number

Force Pick-  (Ticket#FD 537, 40715)

Opportunity:

We have had several requests to allow salespersons to manually pick the order functionality of a Sales Order. This would give you the option to take all items associated with a specific sale out of your inventory regardless of on-hand quantity. This could be helpful in the case that an item has been physically received but the parts department has not yet had the chance to record the receive in Flyntlok.  Currently, Flyntlok users have no option to manually pick the order functionality of a Sales Order.

Note- This feature if enabled may disrupt your inventory totals. This feature is setting controlled, please reach out to the Flyntlok support team if you would like this setup, or if you need any additional information.

Solution:

We added a new icon to the quantity column of the Sales Orders item line. When the force pick option is selected, Flyntlok will pull the entire order quantity from your inventory. This will allow for sales to push inventory into negative quantities.

Force Order- (Ticket#FD 874, 41813)

Opportunity:

We have also had requests to allow a salesperson to manually set a Sales Order to order all items associated with a specific sale regardless of on-hand quantity. This will give Flyntlok users the option to special order entire order quantities.

Note- This feature is setting controlled, please reach out to the Flyntlok support team if you would like this setup, or if you need any additional information.
Solution:

We 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.

Purchasing

Allocation of Fees/Credits View- (Ticket#FD-728, 41303)

Opportunity:

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.

Solution:

We have updated the fees and credits section of the machine receiving voucher. The section will now be viewable but not editable after the voucher is complete.

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

Opportunity:

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.

Solution:

We have added the customer PO number to the item line of the PDFs generated from the Purchase Order.

Customers

Export Owned Machines-(Ticket#FD-885, 41797)
Opportunity:

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.

Solution:

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.

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"

New 🆕

Shortage or Damaged PO Scenario

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:

Discount Methods

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!


Enhancements 🙌

Flyntlok Journal Entry

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.

Jobs on Labor Lines

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.

DMS Work Order PDF

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!


Issues Resolved 🐛

Quick Transfer Logs

In the transactions for an item, we now distinguish regular item transfers from quick item transfers.
