June 2024 Product Update

Here's what June was like at RepairDesk, 

Key Highlight:

Rush Jobs - Pin Tickets
Many repair shops utilize a rush fee in order to avoid last-minute panicked requests from walk-in customers, or you have a priority client that you know will flip out cause it took too long or the team didn’t finish the day before because of additional problems or part needs ordered overnight.
To prevent this to happen in future we have introduced an option to mark certain repair tickets as ‘high priority’, making them stand out on your Manage Tickets page.
This ensures that your technicians can quickly identify and complete urgent jobs, even across different shifts.
With Rush Jobs you can:
  • Create a Rush Job: While creating a ticket on the POS, you can now mark a Rush Job while on the Details step. Once a repair job is marked as repaired & collected, it automatically unmarks it as a rush job. 
  • Mark/Unmark a Rush Job: You can mark or unmark a Rush Job from the list by clicking the ‘Pin’ icon next to the Ticket ID. 
  • Prioritized Display: Rush Jobs will appear at the top of your tickets list, clearly highlighted to catch attention.
  • Filter for Rush Jobs: You can also use the newly added filter to display only the Rush Jobs on the Ticket Listing.

>> Display Repair Description on Receipts

To help customers keep a detailed record of the services performed, we have introduced an option to display the repair service description on both service and thermal receipts.

Added Triggers in Settings:

- Navigate to Settings > Module Configurations > Receipts and find the following new triggers:
- Show repair service description on thermal receipt
- Show repair service description on service receipt
- When both the triggers Show repair service description on service receipt or thermal receipt are enabled:
  - The repair description will appear in the service or thermal receipt.

>> OrderSync & ScanPro - Multiple Improvements
  • - If the SKU is already available in your inventory, the existing mapping will be used. If the SKU is not available, AI mapping will be utilized.
  • The retail price will now be fetched from the inventory. If the SKU is not available, the cost price will be used as the retail price.
  • The count of both scanned items and the total quantity is now visible at the top to cross-check scanned items with the physical inventory in ScanPro.
  • You can now edit the retail price within ScanPro/OrderSync.
  • Newly scanned items will be shown at the top
  • Since the mapping is fetched from the inventory, if the mapping is inaccurate, you can change it. The next time the same SKU is scanned or part of an order in OrderSync, the correct mapping will be added.
  • The inventory will sync with the Repairdesk Inventory module and update the retail price and quantity on hand.
