Welcome to the April 2025 release notes! We’re continually enhancing our delivery management software with updates ranging from minor refinements to major improvements. This month brings numerous exciting updates. Here are some key highlights:
1. New Picking Slip for Drivers
We are excited to announce our new picking slip feature, designed to streamline the collection process for delivery drivers. With this update, it can generate a PDF document clearly listing all items drivers need to pick up from the depot before starting their routes. This ensures nothing is overlooked and drivers leave fully prepared with every package required for their deliveries.
The Picking Slip feature supports various use cases. For example, e-commerce businesses using platforms like WooCommerce or Shopify will benefit as their orders sync directly into our system, automatically creating detailed delivery tasks. When these tasks are assigned, a driver-specific picking slip consolidates items across multiple deliveries into one clear list, even offering the option to group products by item code to simplify the picking process. Additionally, businesses managing multi-merchant deliveries can configure picking slips to organize items by merchant, allowing drivers to efficiently manage their pickups and further optimize their delivery routes.
2. Task Table Enhancements
We’ve recently improved how you can rearrange columns in the task table. Previously, you could drag and drop columns to reorder them, but the changes wouldn’t carry over if you switched devices or browsers. Additionally, column reordering wasn’t supported when grouping rows.
To improve this, column order is now saved as a global user setting. Your preferred column arrangement will be automatically applied across all devices once you log in. This update also enables column reordering when rows are grouped on the table.
To adjust the column order in the table, click the Settings icon to access the table settings. In the column list, use the arrow button on the right-hand side to drag and drop columns into your desired order. Once you’ve finished reordering, click Save to apply the changes to the table.
3. Custom Webhook Payload Headers
We’re pleased to announce an enhancement to our Webhook system with the addition of custom Payload Headers. Webhooks are a powerful way for our platform to send automated, real-time notifications to external applications whenever specific events occur, like when a driver completes a delivery on WooDelivery, triggering an instant JSON update to your internal systems.
With this update, you can now include custom headers in your webhook payloads. This enhancement is particularly valuable when integrating with third-party applications requiring authentication details, such as user credentials, API keys, or digital signatures, in the request headers. By enabling custom headers, we’re providing you greater flexibility, improved security, and the capability for more advanced and secure webhook integrations.
4. Flexible Invoice Amount Adjustments
We’re pleased to introduce the new adjusted invoicing amount feature within our customer invoicing module, designed to give courier businesses greater flexibility in invoice generation. Previously, invoices were based solely on the total shipping fee or order total associated with delivery tasks. With this update, you can now set a custom adjustment percentage, allowing you to set default invoice amounts higher or lower than the original fee.
By enabling this option, you can easily apply adjustments. For example, invoicing at 120% of the original amount to accommodate additional handling fees or service charges, or invoicing at less than 100% to offer discounts or account for partial payments. This feature streamlines your billing process, simplifies pricing adjustments, and ensures greater accuracy and flexibility in your invoicing workflow.
5. Clone Pricing Templates Easily
Our Pricing Template module is designed to streamline and simplify your pricing setup and calculation process. Previously, creating multiple pricing templates required manually inputting each pricing rule individually, which could be time-consuming. With this new updates, you can now quickly clone an existing pricing template and simply modify it to meet the needs of different merchants or scenarios.
This functionality saves significant setup time, especially when managing numerous templates involving distance-based fees, zone-based fees, or other customized pricing rules. Quickly clone, customize, and apply new templates, making your pricing management faster, easier, and more efficient than ever before.
