Daily Individual Report
To ensure you can continue improving your chances of success, you must know what you quoted, both successfully and unsuccessfully each day. However, we know that the thought of reviewing each quote can be daunting at the end of a solid day.
This is where our new Daily Individual Report feature will come in handy. The Daily Individual Report feature:
- Is automatically generate at 6.30am the following morning and will include all quotes/invoices generated the day before between 12.01am and 11.59pm.
- Will provide basic breakdown information for Quoting & Invoicing
- Will provide a simple summary for Quotes & Invoices.
- Is easily accessible through your Notifications Queue
Data Fields in Quotes
2 new fields have been created to improve the data around who sent the quotes and at what times.
This will assist in tracking who sent the original version plus any other instances where the same quote was sent, which can be extremely important for following up quotes.
Updates to ServiceM8 Integration
The security protocols required to download jobs from ServiceM8 to FlatRateNOW has been improved. The integration experienced a block because 'access token's' were not deemed as correct which would not allow the jobs to download. The knock-on effect would cause the integration to stall.
Update to Brighte Finance Integration
Pending Quotes would disable the Finance Button. This has now been improved to allow Financing from Pending Quotes.
Modified Accepted Quote Template
To improve manual transfer of information from FlatRateNOW to other 3rd party systems, the Accepted Quote Template now includes values excluding GST.
Dashboard Feature Fix
If you were reviewing data across multiple months, the 4 main header bubbles in the Dashboard View would not show the data correctly. This is now fixed and will show the data correctly.
Dynamic Pricing Improvement
If you use the Dynamic Pricing feature and adjust the quote beyond your limits, if you forget to return it back within the limit and attempt to send the quote to your client, you will now be meeting with an error message telling you to fix your quote.
