Big Updates

Make Things Easy for Your Customers With Track Order

Why We Worked on This

Keep your customers informed every step of the way with our new order tracking feature! The new Track Order UI allows customers to track progress, see photos, confirm delivery schedule and pay invoices!

Order tracking for customers was an early feature on The Shed App, but it left a lot to be desired, and we ended up deprecating this functionality relatively quickly. This new and improved version makes for a much simpler process with important information and actions clearly presented.

Lastly – this functionality lays the groundwork for improvements to the delivery system – looking forward to it!

NOTE: there are a lot of important features in this update, please watch ALL the videos to understand all the available functionality.

Features

Feature: Request Delivery Confirmation

Why We Worked on This?

Getting in touch with customers to confirm delivery times can be a challenge. With the Request Delivery Confirmation feature, your customers can confirm and/or request a reschedule on a delivery on their own time frame, making this process easier and more convenient for your customers – and your team!

Feature: Order Event Notifications

Why We Worked on This?

This functionality also paves the way for webhooks with our new notification system and improvements to the delivery system – exciting stuff!
