Blackpurl

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 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
