If your customers don't want or need to receive notifications about orders, for example if they are a supermarket who receives notifications in other ways, then you now have the option to turn off Upstock notifications for them.

This will cut down on doubled-up comms at their end, and ensure a really great experience for you both. You'll find the setting here: Customers > choose customer > Settings > Send order notifications.

We’ve made a useful upgrade to our standing orders feature—now, you can schedule them further into the future, beyond the previous one-week limit. Just chat with our team to get this set up!

This improvement means more flexibility and better planning for your business. Whether you're managing regular buyer orders or planning ahead for seasonal demand, you can now look further ahead (2-4 weeks) and have greater control over your production and scheduling.

You can learn more about setting up standing orders in this article or this video.

Hackathon December 2024!

Shared by Linda • December 17, 2024

Twice a year we have a Hackathon, where the engineering team get to work on projects of their choosing - either curly technical issues they want to sink their teeth into, or small-but-mighty features that never quite make it to the top of the priority list.

The team has two and a half days and it's not just an awesome event from a technical perspective, but it's also a great way to bring the team together, as we work remotely most of the time.

Our last Hackathon in July resulted in our Courier integration and quick-add products management features being released, so we are really excited to see what comes out of this one!

Here are the smaller improvements we've made in November:

  • Improved handling of Woolworths PO changes - giving you more insight and control over change requests
  • Improvements in how we handle suppliers with no available products - letting suppliers know if they've ended up in this state, and providing more info for buyers
  • We have clarified the in-app text around removing user accounts to make it more obvious what happens

We hope you've had a great month and we look forward to delivering more awesome improvements in December!
