Order Scanning enhancements

  • Regular/promo/contract prices now display below the quantity fields in the group scanning modal
  • It is now possible to add scanned items to lists with a single tap. This works in the order scanning panel and in the scan group popover. (Note that this feature is not supported when scanning kits and configurable items.)

Order enhancements

  • eCat now displays ship-to email and ship-to phone number in order preview when finalizing orders if these are sent in the customer file. Values are editable by users during order entry and are available for import via SuperCat's standard order import APIs.
  • Improved handling of long values in eCat order header fields
  • Your company may optionally enable users to ‘double discount’ by applying order discounts to order line items that already have promotional pricing or an item-level discount. (Contact SuperCat to enable this.)
  • Scanning QR codes containing URLs for showroom order entry now supports scan groups and option pickers for custom item configuration.

PDF Presentations

  • Add variable for encoding auto-generated eCat Online product details URL in QR codes (for dual purpose showroom scanning/product info lookup with customer BYOD phones)
