Updates to inFlow Cloud | Page 2

  Web manufacturing is here

Like that heading says, we’ve introduced manufacturing to our web app, but it’s actually more than that. We’ve polished and refined the processes around manufacturing as well, giving you more control and precision for builds.

You can prioritize what to build first, add production routing for each assembly, disassemble products, view quantity buildable, and more. There’s so much to cover that we’ve written a Big Manufacturing Update blog post full of pictures and videos to show you around.

   More powerful list views

We’re also debuting great upgrades to list views for sales, purchases, and products. You can now reorganize and customize columns while viewing these lists, so you can get exactly the view that works for you.

You can also take actions, like setting product categories or marking orders as paid, on multiple records at once. Just select the checkbox for each record you want to change and then choose an action along the top of the list.

  Stock counts come to the web app

You can now complete physical inventory, and cycle counts from a web browser. Our new stock counts allow you to complete smaller cycle counts with a single sheet or divide the work of larger counts across multiple sheets.

We’ve also implemented new features to manage and assign count sheets, see discrepancies faster, and avoid conflicts if multiple people are working on the same sheet. Learn more in our latest blog post.

Updated customer and vendor designs   

We’ve given customers and vendors a fresh coat of paint and updated features in the web app.

Lists now have higher contrast and a cleaner layout, which makes it easier to read them at a glance. We’ve also split up customer and vendor records with a tabbed interface.

The brand-new order history tabs show you the latest orders from that customer or vendor, and you can even click on the order numbers to load them up in a new tab. Vendor products have also moved to their own tab and are even easier to use than before.

This is another small step to make the inFlow experience even better on the web, and we hope you like the changes!
