The Post–Black Friday Renaissance

A Toast to Tenacity

We did not merely survive Black Friday; we extracted data, distilled insight, and upgraded the machine. Consider us a meticulously engineered apparatus: quiet; decisive; ready.

The season ahead demands authority; we will provide it, with style. Christmas awaits; we intend not merely to participate but to dominate - with elegance.

New Features

Minimum Pack Quantity for Purchase Orders

Rationality meets rhythm: set a minimum pack quantity per supplier link, and let Helm’s suggestion engine propose quantities in precise multiples of that minimum. Ten becomes twenty; twenty sings into forty; purchasing becomes poetry in integers.

Packaging Parameter Barcode Support

Barcodes now enliven packaging parameters (PCS type excepted): scan multiple quantities in the packing terminal, multi pick‑pack terminal, or the app. Import/export flows and UI management options are all attuned to this symphony of speed.

Operational Enhancements

Order Data Fidelity on Invoices and Prints

Documents now mirror reality with scholarly exactitude: when order‑specific data is absent, Helm sensibly employs the contact’s default information.

Kitting - Instruction Files and Notes

Order Notes now host instructional files and documents: your kitting procedures gain clarity; your teams gain tempo.

Data Visibility Refinement for Retired Clients

Retired clients retreat as they should: visibility behaves across the system with genteel discretion.

Warehouse Dashboard Query Optimisation

We tuned queries; dashboards now load with zeal. Less waiting; more winning.

Plugin Enhancements

Multi Pick‑Pack Terminal - Queue Logic Re‑orchestrated

If the terminal closed mid‑session, statuses once hesitated; now they proceed correctly: a queue that behaves like a queue.

Pre-generated Labels - Weight Precision and Polish

Weights compute cleanly; labels present perfectly; the plugin looks as good as it works.

Helm’s Neuro & Temu - Configuration Harmony

We harmonised the channel configurations: Temu and Neuro now cooperate with courtly civility; interoperable, orderly, and impeccably aligned.

Stock Movement Logs - Narrative Notes

Every movement tells a tale: notes now accompany stock movements for audit trails with character.

Default Warehouse - Guardrails for Stability

The default warehouse is guarded: deletion is sensibly restricted to keep operations steady.

Features

Pick Tag Filtering

Filter picks by tags with scholarly precision: prioritise on what matters; dispatch with finesse.

Manual Sales Channel Management API

New endpoints for refined control over manual sales channels: configure, manage, and measure via API with professorial poise. Unique naming is now enforced for sales channels, and the configuration form has been polished for clarity and speed.

Enhancements to Flows and Interfaces

Order Edit Page Layout Refinement

UI elements now behave impeccably: the Select Batches button sits where decorum dictates; the page flows as intended.

Returned Order Editing Governance (API)

Returned and partially returned orders now observe proper governance: API editing is sensibly restricted; integrity is preserved; audits remain pristine.

Purchase Order Import Resilience

File uploads cooperate; imports proceed; purchasing remains brisk and dependable.

Shipping Services - Contextual Visibility

Fulfilment clients now see the services meant only for them: filtering is refined, confidence restored.

Collection Sheet - Transparent Status Logging

When printing a collection sheet, status updates are logged with the candour you expect.

Fulfilment Client - Inventory Export Selection

Client selection works flawlessly, banishing any JavaScript foibles; exports align with intent.

Archived Fulfilment Clients - Considerate Discovery

Entities tied to archived clients now remain discreet unless explicitly summoned by search.

Sales Channel Names - Duplication Discouraged

Unique naming prevails; channel configuration forms receive a civilising tidy‑up.

Stock Sales Report - Curated Accuracy

Exports exclude retired clients for a report that speaks only of the present.

Email Template Editor - Merge Tag Magnificence

All merge tags now appear with suitable fanfare: compose with confidence; personalise with precision.

Verify Products - Integrity Preserved

The packing terminal’s Verify Products screen no longer permits manual tinkering. Verification remains untouchable; process integrity intact.

Plugin Store - Visual Refinement

Elegance restored; browsing is a pleasure.

Dropship Purchase Order Files - Accuracy Ensured

CSV and PDF outputs for suppliers now align with expectations; submissions proceed smoothly.

Backorder Rules - Consistent Execution

With backorders enabled, order rules now execute predictably: logic behaves; throughput improves.

Inventory Import - Single Parcel Per Item

The import respects the Single Parcel Per Item option with delightful precision.

Plugin Fixes

Auto Pick Creation Profile - Steady Sequencing

Sequence inputs remain steadfast during updates; tag search performs reliably; auto‑pick creation follows your choreography.

Onwards to Christmas - With Panache

We have survived the retail tempest and converted it into momentum: Helm now hums with festive focus and industrial elegance. We convert pressure into performance and complexity into clarity.

For further mastery: contact our team; peruse the documentation; propose new capabilities.

We innovate habitually; we refine relentlessly; we deliver software that meets your needs with aplomb and keeps you ahead.

Christmas is a stage; Helm is your spotlight.

- “Maybe Christmas… perhaps… means a little bit more.” To our partners and customers - thanks for making it more, from Helm.
