Changelog: Small improvements
Once again, we’ve made several small improvements to make your work easier.
- When selecting a pick location, we now also prioritise temporary locations. Curious how location selection works exactly? Read more
- You can now set which product fields you want to see on a Receipt.
- In the portal, fulfilment customers now have better insight into (purchase) orders, backorders, and shipments.
- The ‘Most Returned Products’ report now also includes products with the status ‘Received’.
- It’s now possible to create and edit containers via the API. More information
We also fixed the following issues:
- In the app, remarks are now shown for picked products as well, not just products to be picked.
- Under portal settings, you can now select all active warehouses for stock levels, not just warehouses that fulfil orders.
- On a cancelled order, we now show the original totals at the bottom instead of 0.
Walk less in your warehouse, save meters and time
Did you know warehouse employees spend up to 60% of their working day walking? A few meters here and there may not seem like much, but over the course of a week, let alone a year, they really add up. By optimizing your warehouse layout and placing products more strategically, you can easily save time and distance during order picking.
The biggest wins come from a strategic warehouse layout
We often see pickers walking more than they need to. For example, when all products from the same brand are stored together in the middle of the warehouse, even if only one of those products is a fast mover. That means walking all the way there and back just for one item.
It’s more efficient to organize your warehouse based on how frequently each product is sold. Because the more often a product appears on a picklist, the more often someone has to walk to get it. So give those products a prime location.
Changelog: Solve webshop problems yourself and other improvements
No major updates this time, but small improvements that make your daily work a bit easier:
- Missing orders due to an issue in your webshop? You can now fix this yourself by importing all unknown orders from the past 48 hours. And is the stock level in your webshop incorrect? You can now also send your stock levels to your webshop yourself.
- In Rules, you can now set the condition "Order time" in 10-minute intervals. This gives you more control over cut-off times.
- In a stock count, you can now see who created it.
- In the user overview, you can now search.
- When counting a location, you can now enlarge product images.
We’ve also fixed a few issues:
- When receiving products fails, we now clearly indicate what went wrong and prevent you from having to re-enter everything. Additionally, products are no longer mistakenly linked to the same available location.
- When importing products into an order, we now always use the correct prices from the selected price list.
- When correcting stock from a count, we now check whether you're allowed to link locations and whether it's an exclusive location.
- When changing a product to a type that cannot be purchased, the supplier information is now automatically cleared.
- When an order contains canceled products, this is now shown at the bottom in the totals.
New to our team: Nadine
Meet our newest team member, Nadine! She’s here to introduce herself.
Nadine Brouwer
“Hi, I’m Nadine. At Picqer, I help keep our daily operations running smoothly, both for the team and in our lovely office in Arnhem. With my love for structure, I support our work on financial, administrative, and organizational fronts. I really appreciate that Picqer encourages proactivity and gives you the freedom to take ownership of your responsibilities. The motto ‘Be human and do the right thing’ truly lives here.
I live in the heart of the Netherlands with my family. With a toddler and a preschooler, I don’t get much free time, but when I do, I love watching series, reading, and gaming. Winter is my favorite season. Chris Brown has been my top artist on Spotify Wrapped for six years straight. Right now, I’m in the process of decluttering my home. I highly recommend it to everyone!”
Changelog: See who moved stock and more
New: See who moved stock
The stock history now shows not only how much stock was moved and where it went, but also who moved it. This was a popular request that comes in helpful when reviewing why something was moved. You can also see who last used a container. This information is, of course, also available via the API.
Other improvements
- The stock history graph now gives a clearer view of a product’s stock over time.
- You can now change your Picqer domain (acme.picqer.com) yourself. Useful if your company name changes, for example. More information (Dutch)
- You can now set a webhook for cancelled picklist shipments.
- In the API, you can now filter (purchase) orders, backorders and picklists by fulfilment customer.
- Cancelled products are now shown more clearly on the order page.
- The product barcode is now included in the single order export.
- Fixed:
- When linking a product to a location in the app, a scanned location with child locations is no longer linked immediately. Instead, all matching locations are shown.
- MyParcel shipments with DPD, DHL and UPS are now correctly reported back to webshops. This was already the case for PostNL.
- Shopify orders processed across multiple pick lists are now correctly reported back to the webshop.
- Purchase orders containing compositions with own stock can now be edited again.
- When receiving a product, the linked location is now always preselected—even if it's a bulk location.
- You can now remove the expected delivery date from a purchase order.
- For orders imported as draft, stock is once again correctly allocated.
- When mentioning a colleague in a comment, the last typed word no longer disappears.
