Today we've added some useful features to improve your inventory admin.

1. You can now quickly duplicate a stock item - fantastic for cloning common configurations to get new entries fast
2. You can split a stock item - great for situations when you need to split an initial entry into bundles, or when you want to track offcuts etc with new lengths
3. You can manage the location of stock - say where stock is to help people find it easier
4. Manage your stock locations - similar to the way you can manage materials and stock types, you can now manage locations
5. Roomier table view - the inventory now has expandable rows to help view everything more easily

Digitalisation efforts can be tough to pull the business case together for. We regularly support our potential customers on producing business cases for our products so we thought we'd share the love!

With our new business case tool, available inside and outside login to make creation and sharing even easier, you can work through the areas of gains and costs to get a comprehensive breakdown of the financial case for making the change.

Once you've crafted the business case you can then share the link or get a PDF with the business case presented for different audiences.

We hope this will help you put together the cases you need for improving the organisations you work at, and similar to our other free tools, helps you build a consistent approach within your business to key metrics.

PS We put all our free tools outside the login requirement so you can share results with zero barriers.

We're always trying to make things easier for people to use GoSmarter.ai and one way we do that is through clear documentation. We've now launched interactive guides that walk you through areas of the product and how to do things. We hope it helps!

You can see these at guides.gosmarter.ai or in the app by selecting Help Guides in the sidebar.

We've recently expanding how orders are managed to enable you to differentiate between the order and it's line items and manage them independently.

You can now track items customers need with some key dimension properties and track where you're at with producing them.

We continue to maintain easy integration and onboarding into our system with bulk download and upload functionality so getting started is super easy.

Next up with this, we're planning on providing the ability to add detailed specifications. We'll also be making the certificates associated to make traceability packs easy. Let us know your thoughts on this topic!

We were exceptionally happy to build GoSmarter with strong customer collaboration. We built it quickly including our development capabilities.

During December we found our growth slowing down to due our delivery processes that enabled testing and deployment. During December, we re-tooled these to help us go smarter 😉 this year. I'm excited with what we're going to be delivering!

Integration is critical to manufacturers so we've been working hard on making sure our APIs can be consumed and understood.

We've launched our developer portal to enable integrators to access the details of interacting with our systems.

A minor upgrade to the dashboard to showcase all the latest developments on the app.

It might sound simple but every metals business has different things they care about and we want to enable tailoring the app to suit your business as simple as possible.

When you first get a company space on the app, it handily comes with our reference data. This might be good enough for you and you can get started with 0 configuration, but we know you might want to rapidly start customising things.

Now, we offer a company data section of the app where you can configure things. Our first area of configuration is inventory materials and types.

To customise what you and your colleagues can use, you can get started in three ways.

1. Import our reference data - great for if you've already been using it for a while
2. Start from scratch - great if you only have a few values and want to enter them manually
3. Import from CSV - starting with our template (which gives you all the reference data) you can take your existing list from elsewhere and use it as the config instantly on GoSmarter

So whether zero-config is good for you or you want to make GoSmarter feel bespoke to your business, you now can have it your way.

We've had the ability to use AI to extract steel mill certificate data for a while now. We know how important it can be to get the information from these material certificates associated to your inventory. It helps you better pick stock for processes like welding and helps you provide product lineage documentation to your customers.

Now when we have a match between inventory and mill certificates based on heat codes, you can easily navigate between the two areas to get the info you need.

Scrap is often put in a bin and forgotten about until the bin is overflowing. However, good tracking of it helps you understand which of your processes have th emost associated waste. With GoSmarter you now have two ways of tracking scrap depending on your needs.

1. Track scrap in inventory - this allows you to keep product lineage and info like supplier if you keep scrap well seperated. This is excellent when you want to be able to perform detailed analysis against orders etc. longer term.
2. Track batches of scrap - if you have dedicated bins that all scrap gets put into you can use our scrap logger to track scrap by weight change. This helps you analyse it at a high level and minimises admin.
