What's new?
Sell Vendor Products and Services by Customer Order > Service Jobs
The selling of Vendor Products such as Warranty Plans etc, can now be done on Service Jobs
This means that if a customer comes into the Dealership and wants to purchase a Vendor Product such as a Warranty Plan, the Dealership will be able to sell the Warranty Plan without it being attached to a Unit Deal
For further information, please review our article - Selling of Vendor Products and Services
Reporting
We have introduced a new more friendly Reporting landing page where all the reports are now split into relevant sections ie Parts / Service / Units / Ordering / Admin & Other / Reconciliation
All reporting articles have been updated to reflect the new landing page change
Users will still be able to create their own reports by clicking on and if the user currently has custom and/or favorite reports, they are still available under the new tab My custom and shared reports
Single Sign On
For our Dealerships that have multiple sites which all have Blackpurl, we have introduced single sign on
This means that once setup, the user will be able to sign in once and then be able to switch between the different Blackpurls
This is being released to our beta tester so once it has passed all the testing, it will be available to other Dealerships that have multiple Blackpurls
Reporting Checkout Payments
We have made changes made to our customer order reports to provide a new optional column for payments that have been added to checkout but the checkout has not been finalized
Previously these unfinalized checkout payments were lumped in with the Deposits column
Example:
Improvements to FTP
We have made a few improvements to what program we use to do FTP file posting
We are now using a more reliable microservice
