CRM is a major focus for dealers and that makes it a major focus for us! Look forward to more updates to this system in the coming weeks.
You can now access your SMS conversations from the mobile view of Flyntlok.
You can view a list of your conversations and search for any existing conversations or contacts.
Interacting with a conversation by sending a message will automatically subscribe you to the conversation. You can unsubscribe by clicking the star icon.
Responses will show up live so you can continue to interact with your customer. All of this interaction is logged under the customer profile in Flyntlok.
You can now create a linked rental contract from the actions dropdown on a lead.
We have updated the settings around the "Text Us" website widget. Now if a potential customer is trying to input a non-US phone number they will receive a prompt from Flyntlok to instead submit an email address.
We have added back order column to the sales order PDF. Backorder is any quantities not yet picked or received via a special order.
For better visibility, we have updated the item transfer icon to be highlighted green if there are any linked transfers! This will help prevent accidentally executing duplicate transfers to fill a sale.
When a substitution is made on an item purchase order, you now have the option to retain the substituted part if you have not received any. If you have received quantities against the substituted part, we will only substitute the remaining quantity, and the PO will retain the original line for the amount already received.
Voiding a line, or deleting an entire purchase orders, will now go out and mark the associated machines as "Deleted". Previously, this had to be cleaned up manually.
You can now transfer a single labor punch to a new work order and job by clicking the transfer icon found on the labor tab.
You can now add/edit customer contacts while creating a work order.
Flyntlok will automatically clock you out of work orders when logging out. This applies only when you choose to log out. If you close your tab, exit your browser, etc. you will remain clocked in. This applies to both ERP and DMS Work Orders.
Flyntlok will show you a warning when you try to invoice a work order that has quoted parts. Quoted parts will not be added to the work order invoice.
We have added this field as an option in all places you can create a customer in Flyntlok. Previously, you could only record the reason for a new customer from New -> Customer.
You can now set a default work category by customer. This new field is found in the "Other" section while editing a customer. Customer Dashboard-> Actions-> Edit
We have added rental as a source option in the win/loss report with a link to the rental contract in the source link.
You can now configure a vendor to record purchases or sales by machine. When the option is set to yes, you will get a single journal entry for each machine involved in the transaction when posting to QuickBooks Online.
Users will now see a warning message when they are about to delete a machine model, if that model is tied to active machines. The user will then be prompted to choose the new model those machines should be moved to.

If a customer has supplied an Item Number, this information will now be displayed on the sales order pdf line.
From the Point of Sale, in the Details Tab, if the transaction has a Customer PO or an internal message, this information will now be viewable from the memo line of the QuickBooks Payment that is generated.
Users will now be able to input the invoice date when attaching a vendor invoice to a receiving voucher.
We have added more visibility to the Work Order you are clocked into. Along with the clock icon in the blue header bar, users will see the work order number.
When a user clocks into a job we will now prompt them to input all the original check in information. This combines the check in and clock in buttons, reducing the number of steps for the mobile techs to start their work. If the Work Order is in "New" status the first user to clock into a job will move the work order to "In Process".
If a customer requests service for their machine via Sparks, Flyntlok will generate a Work Order in estimate status for the customer. Also, you can now subscribe to receive sparks service request notifications.
We have addressed an issue where quoted parts on work orders were being included in the shop fee calculation. This would have affected work orders that had shop fees calculated from labor and parts totals.
When accepting a Trade-In as a payment type, users will now have the option to create a new vendor from the Trade-In screen.
We now support a default discount structure that will be set on all existing and future customers added to Flyntlok. Please reach out to Flyntlok if you would like to set this up.
From the Actions drop down of the Rental Dashboard you will now be able to report a lost deal. This will allow users to document when a rental contract falls through and record the lost revenue. 
We have added a (View All) option on the machine and customer dashboard for the rental section. This link will bring users to a report that shows all historical customer and machine rental contracts.
We have added an Exclude Zero Quantity option to the inventory sprint editor. This will exclude any items with a zero QOH from being added to a sprint plan.
When editing an item, you can now set fields for length, width, and height to capture the dimensions of items. This should support e-commerce platform integrations and help with shipping. 
Users will now have the ability to create a new part when setting a supersession.
When quoting a new model from the point of sale, we will now prompt the user to input all required information in place of an error message.
With our recent notification update, we have consolidated notifications that show up on the bottom right of Flyntlok and the dashboard to show under the bell icon. You can update your preferences for each of these notifications here. Username->Preferences->Notifications

You can access the last year of historical notifications by clicking the View All.
Sales Orders and Work Orders can now be created from a Lead in the CRM Hub. To do this, go from the Actions tab of the Lead view -> Create Sales Order or Create Work Order.
Leads will now be viewable under four new categories: My Leads, New & Open, Unassigned, All Leads. These categories allow for easy organization and quick referencing of new potential customers.
We have added a color coding scheme to status badges of the CRM Leads. This allows users to easily identify the status of their lead. The color coding is outlined below.
New-Navy
Open-Blue
Attempted Contact- Orange
Contacted- Orange
Quoted- White
Won- Green
Lost- Grey
Closed-Grey
We update the searcher to look across most fields in the lead list. Any fields we are not searching by can be filtered use the selections above the list.
We have added a new CRM Leads panel on the customers dashboard, this will track and display all leads created for this customer. This allows users to easily view basic information about each lead.
If you are using the VOIP integration with Flyntlok, when any unknown number calls, the user will be redirected to the Add New Lead form of the CRM hub while auto-populating the caller's phone number. This will let you easily create a lead and ultimately a customer!
Clearing up typos, and redundant tags can now be done by clicking the Actions -> Manage Tags from the CRM Hub.
If a scan fails to find an associated Item Number, UPC, or EAN, a note line will be created in its place to help prevent unnoticed missed scans. The note line will include the barcode number which was originally scanned. We also show a warning pop-up, but if you have hotkey functionality enabled on your scanner, the popup can be missed if you continue to scan.
We have added a new setting to allow managers to configure a default invoice source by user. Previously, this was done at the company level.
To set or edit the default invoice source for a user, navigate to Wrench->Users->Users. Locate the user you wish to set, click edit, and in the "Other" tab, assign a default invoice source.
To check your current company settings, navigate to Wrench-> Point of Sale-> Invoice Sources.

Updated user permissions now allows admins to limit users ability to make changes on the Service scheduler such as changing events, and modifying groups.
Flyntlok settings allow admins to adjust cutoff dates for transactions. This helps prevent unwanted reversals of invoices that have been posted during accounting periods already closed, as well as, backdating transactions into closed period. This should align with your QuickBooks Online Books Closed Date.
You can now restrict who is allowed to open a posted item voucher. This will add an internal control that stops users from requesting a reversal of a bill.
You will now see a red warning message if there is a duplicate bill number under the particular vendor. This message will be displayed in red, next to the QB Bill Number in the Voucher Details section.
We have added a new setting to the Machine Purchase Order. Users will now be able to print labels in bulk from the receiving voucher by selecting voucher lines, selecting printing action, then clicking Generate Labels.
We gave the Omnisearch results a freshlook. It now allows for quick referencing of item number, vendor/make, description and bin. Also displayed, includes QOH, QOO, and List Price, which are appropriately categorized by color.
A Recent Rentals section has been added to the Item Dashboard, which displays the fifteen most recent rental contracts of the item.
