Highlights

Commerce

Search by product name during quick order

Customers can now search by product name as well as by product code when they quick order products on the website. This is helpful if they are ordering products they don't order often. Please contact your account manager if you would like this added to your commerce website.

View the customer number for the currently selected account

Logged in customers can view and select company accounts they have access to on the commerce website. The currently selected company account displays the Kodaris company number along with the company name. In this release, we've added the option to display your customer number instead of the Kodaris company number. For example, the customer number from your ERP. Please contact your account manager if you'd like this functionality added to your website.

Display order as needed messaging on product pages

If you have products in your ERP that are marked order as needed, you can surface that information on your commerce product pages and display relevant messages to your customers. Please reach out to your account manager if you are interested in this feature.

Drive SEO with schema

Schema is a structured data vocabulary that describes the content on your commerce pages. Search engines use this schema to easily understand what your pages are presenting and provide users with richer search results. Schema can be added to product pages, category pages, search result pages, content pages, and much more. Please contact your account manager if you are interested in adding this to your website.

Operations Portal

Check a product's price and availability

You can check any product's pricing and availability by navigating to CRM > Price Check. Select the company you want to check the price for and enter the product code. You can optionally include a company address and/or warehouse if you'd like to see the pricing with those parameters. Note: users must have either superuser, administrator, or productPriceView permission to access this screen.

Export all company product lists

Previously you could export either the first page or the first 1000 rows from the company product lists screen. You can now export all the product lists at once which allows you to mass update all lists via exporting and then re-importing.

268_highlight_company_list_export.png

Preview a content page directly from the operations portal

Content pages in the operations portal now have a preview link which will take you directly to the page on the website. This eliminates the need to remember the page url at the end of the day when we all need more coffee.

Adjust the ticket comment panel to your desired width

When viewing and adding comments on the Tickets screen, you can adjust the width of the comment panel to your preferred width. This makes it easier when carrying out long discussions.

Set dynamic email subjects for any email template

You can set a dynamic subject for any email template in your Kodaris system. This subject can change based on parameters and/or data available in the system. To further support this, a code editor has been added to the subject column on the Templates screen where you easily personalize any template subject to your users.

Customer Portal

Filter and sort orders by user and total

Customers can now filter and sort orders by user (the person placed the order) and by order total.

Re-order any order you have access to

Previously we released an update where customers can re-order any order they had previously placed. In this release, we've made another update which allows users to re-order any order they have access to. For example, a user assigned to a location can also re-order orders someone else has previously placed for that location.

Use a tabbed layout for your embedded payment portal

You can easily embed the Kodaris payment portal in Unilog, Adobe Commerce, Magento and other systems. Please reach out if you are interested in embedding the Kodaris payment portal in your system.

In this release, we've released a new payment portal layout that uses a tabbed navigation view across the top instead of the navigation to the left side. Based on your website layout, you can choose between either the side navigation view or this tabbed view for your embedded payment portal.

Payment

Capture a credit card authorization on an order

When a customer checks out and pays via credit card, the authorization is recorded by the Kodaris system. Based on your system configuration, the authorization is then captured at the time of checkout or in the ERP at a later time. In this release, we've also added the ability to capture the authorization in the Kodaris operations portal under Orders > Order > Payments. This feature is still undergoing final testing so please reach out to your account manager if you are interested.
