Welcome to Helm - where details matter, speed wins, and accuracy reigns.
This release is all about smoothing the rough edges, sharpening the tools you use every day, and slipping in a few power-ups that make Helm feel even more seamless.
Think of it as less "patchwork" and more "precision engineering."

Locations get smarter
You can now give barcodes to locations - search anywhere in Helm by barcode or name - faster, cleaner, sharper navigation.
Exporter upgrade
Your filters are now saved and displayed in a human-readable format. In other words: less guesswork, more clarity.
Cleaner stock alerts
Added a new setting: Exclude Zero Quantity Locations. Say goodbye to noisy low-stock emails that list places where nothing exists anyway.
Smarter Imports
Inventory Stock Level Imports have been optimised and now process reliably so that your stock data stays accurate and up to date without interruption.

Billing precision restored
Packaging weight is now included in Billing API requests. Your calculations line up beautifully, every time.
County codes behave
Helm now sends county codes in uppercase, ensuring perfect compatibility with other systems.
Purchase Orders via API
Updating Purchase Orders via API is now more flexible - the Location ID no longer needs to be provided every time. Helm will handle validation automatically, making updates smoother and simpler.
Components & groups safeguard
Linking components to groups or dynamic components disabled inventories via API is no longer permitted - protecting system integrity.
Stock Level Report toggle
The “Include Archived Items” option is now fully functional. Reports behave exactly as expected.

Helm makes searching sharper, reports cleaner, billing smarter, and creation smoother.
Each tweak reduces friction so you can focus on moving stock, not wrestling with settings.

This is just the start - with every release, Helm gets faster, more intuitive, and more powerful.
Keep your eyes open for what’s next. Until then: go explore, go optimise, and let Helm do the heavy lifting.
