Spring Clean For Helm

Spring has finally tiptoed back into view, and Helm has had its own seasonal tidy: a careful sweep through your picking, printing, dashboards and delivery tools so that everything feels lighter, brighter and more predictable in day‑to‑day operations. Every refinement in this release is designed to keep your teams moving smoothly and your customers happily receiving exactly what they ordered.

Pick Detail: Complete All, Calmly And Correctly

The Complete All button on the Pick Detail page now behaves as serenely as its name suggests. Instead of unexpected interruptions, your team can confidently complete all relevant picks in a single action, maintaining momentum on the warehouse floor and reducing the risk of half‑finished tasks hiding in the background.

Pick Detail: Reset UI Pick With Confidence

The Reset UI Pick button on the Pick Detail page has been refined so that it respects all the correct location information behind the scenes. Your users can now reset a pick when they need to, without encountering technical distractions, keeping attention where it belongs: on getting the right stock to the right order at the right time.

Automatic Error Label Printing: Ready When You Are

Automatic error label printing is now fully operational and primed for real‑world use. You can enable it via: General Settings: Printing: Error Label Auto Print. Once switched on, Helm will quietly produce error labels at the right moments, helping staff to identify and handle issues quickly so that exceptions do not slow down your fulfilment flow.

Custom Dashboards: Numbers That Tell The Truth

The data in your Custom Dashboard now reflects the correct calculations throughout. This means your teams and leadership can rely on what they see for planning, monitoring and daily decision‑making; your dashboards become a trustworthy source of operational truth rather than something to be second‑guessed.

Inners And Outers: Ready For Larger Volumes

The Use Inners And Outers feature has shed its former limit of 999 units. You can now work comfortably with 4‑digit values, which better reflects real‑world stock volumes. This gives your warehouse more flexibility when dealing with high‑volume items and supports more accurate packing and picking rules at scale.

International VAT: Calculations You Can Trust

VAT calculations on international orders have been carefully aligned so that the correct amounts are now applied every time. This improvement supports cleaner accounting, smoother audits and a more compliant trading posture across borders, while keeping your finance and operations teams aligned on a single, accurate view.

Delivery Filters: See Orders By Creation Date Or Delivery Date

Delivery date filtering has been extended with a new filter, create_date_range, alongside the existing date_range. Previously you could filter by expected delivery date only; now you can also filter by creation date. This gives you greater control over how you review workloads, investigate historical activity and manage service expectations across different carriers and time periods.

Batch Terminal: Product Names With Question Marks, No Question

Orders containing product names with double question marks (??) now flow cleanly through the Batch Terminal. Your team can continue to use product naming conventions that suit your catalogue without worrying about these particular characters interrupting processing, keeping batch operations steady and predictable.

Reprinting Orders: Curly Brackets, Straightforward Results

Product options that contain double curly brackets ({{) no longer cause any disruption when you reprint included orders. When you need to revisit paperwork for a specific shipment, Helm now reproduces those documents reliably, even with more expressive or structured product option formats.

Order Rules: Smarter Inventory Removal By Tags And SKUs

Order rules have been enhanced to support removing inventory items based on tags, so that you can manage item removal in a more elegant and scalable way. Instead of listing individual products one by one, you can use tags to describe the group of items that should be removed from an order, and you can also supply a list of SKUs where that suits your workflow better. This makes complex inventory housekeeping easier to automate and reduces the time spent manually maintaining long product lists.

A Little More Light, A Lot Less Friction

With this release, Helm has had its own spring refresh: fewer surprises, clearer data and smarter automation across picking, printing, dashboards and delivery management. Every enhancement is aimed at making your daily operations feel simpler, more reliable and more delightful for your team. As always, these changes are crafted with your warehouses, your customers and your future growth firmly in mind.
