Automated Catalogue Management.

We’re pleased to announce the release of the first phase of Automated Catalogue Management, a major step forward in streamlining how you manage product catalogues. This new functionality is designed to significantly reduce manual effort by enabling catalogues to be automatically populated based on predefined rules. You can now define conditions using product attributes such as Brand, Supplier, Product Type, Colour, and is Discounted to dynamically manage catalogue content.

Key Benefits.

Efficiency Gains.

Automatically include products that meet your specified criteria, saving time and reducing the need for manual updates.

Greater Flexibility.

Update rules as your business needs evolve, while retaining any manually added items.

Improved Accuracy.

Maintain consistent and up-to-date catalogues without repetitive work.

Scalable Management.

Easily handle larger and more complex catalogues with confidence.

This is the first step in a broader initiative to enhance product catalogue capabilities. We look forward to bringing you further improvements in the near future.

Fixes and updates that have been applied this week:

  • Fixed issue where a successful payment attempt that quickly followed a failed payment attempt was not recorded in iSAMS.
  • Two new API methods, ListProductsCreated and ListProductsModified, have been added to allow retrieval of product style codes based on creation or modification date ranges.

Smarter Order Routing – Flexible Percentage Fulfilment Filter and Age Threshold Options

We’ve expanded our order routing capabilities, introducing a more flexible approach to fulfilment that helps stores balance speed, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.

New Capabilities Now Available.

Percentage Fulfilment Filter.

Now, orders can be routed to stores based on the percentage of the order they can fulfil. This can be configured at any level – from 100% for full fulfilment to lower thresholds, such as 80% for secondary locations. This approach reduces split shipments and partial picks, streamlining your order processing.

Age Threshold Filter

The Percentage Fulfilment filter can now be paired with an Age Threshold filter, allowing orders to remain in the global order pool for a set period (e.g., 2 hours) before falling back to split logic if not fully fulfilled. This ensures that orders have the best chance of being fully fulfilled before being divided across multiple locations.

Key Benefits.

Cost-Efficient Fulfilment.

Reduce shipping and packaging costs by prioritising single-store fulfilment, where possible, to minimise split shipments.

Speed and Flexibility.

Ensure orders don't get stuck. The Age Threshold filter provides a controlled fallback, enabling you to fulfil orders on time, even if initial attempts at full fulfilment aren't possible.

Improved Customer Experience.

Where feasible, customers receive their complete orders in a single shipment, reducing delays and confusion.

Operational Efficiency.

Store teams focus on orders they can fully complete, reducing the effort spent on partial picks and improving workflow efficiency.

This powerful combination of filters is fully configurable, allowing you to strike the right balance between optimising costs and ensuring prompt fulfilment for your customers.

Fixes and updates that have been applied this week:

  • Configurable RMProfiler credit card name check, to enable the credit card name and the billing name of an order to be checked and reflected on the risk points in RMProfiler.
  • New 'Add Product to Cart from Gift Registry' API has been created.
  • Add optional support for sending the customers billing phone number to WindCave when initiating a WindCave hosted (PxPay) transaction.

06.05.2025

Fixes and updates that have been applied this week:

  • The downloaded picklist (CSV) has been updated to accurately show the current status of items, including those that have been shortpicked. New columns like Available, Backordered, Unavailable, Applied to stock, and Shortpick Reason have been added to improve clarity and align the download with the on-screen view.
  • Updated the Site Information, Tax, Accepted Credit Cards, and Homepage Metadata pages in the setup and configuration area to use the new admin styling.
  • Enhancement made to correct amount of records updated when using product update API to not ignore 3PL status orders.
  • Resolved issue in the Consumer API that could prevent a customer from being able to continue with a WindCave hosted payment method. This issue could occur when a customer initiates but does not complete a payment, then attempts to continue in another session.
