This month our developers have been hard at work building in improvements to our service, and performing maintenance to help keep StoreFeeder running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. This include refinements in our code and processes in preparation for the next feature releases in the new year. Keep an eye on the blog and user messages for further updates as they come. Here are the feature and service improvements due for release Wednesday 15th November.

‍‍

New Features Paper-free Invoices We have added a new section to the Email templates page allowing you to create fully customisable email invoices as an alternative to paper itext invoices.

There is now a section for 'Loop Tokens'. Each of these represents a different field on the order line. Combine these with text to create your personalised email invoices. For more information on email templates, see this knowledgebase: Creating an Email Template.

‍Packer productivity report By popular demand, we will be releasing some of the new reporting first demoed to customers who attended our StoreFeeder sessions event in October. You find this report in 'Reports'>'Products', and it will provide statistics on average despatch times, average orders per despatch, and average order totals per team, or per individual packer. The Packer Productivity report will be available for all customers who already have Picker Productivity reports enabled.

‍

Print Assist reminder We have had great success with our Print Assist feature, which allows for instant and automatic document printing in StoreFeeder. This is an account specific feature, so please contact our support teams if you wish to discuss adding Print Assist to your account. For more information, see our knowledgebases on how to install and set up the client, and how to enable and use Print Assist.
