exciting! coreBUILDER news 

As we continue to go through the "pandemic" the face of retail is certainly changing and part of these changes has now forced every retailer in the country to make sure they have a website and online store.   coreFORCE is an enterprise high-end ECommerce that is not geared for smaller retailers, so we are excited to announce the availability of coreBUILDER.   More information will be coming in the next few days and as a coreSTORE user, you will have free access to the Basic or Standard plans. Think of coreBUILDER as the Wix and Shopify killer.

Items Screen

Added an option to price an item based on a % of the previous item and set a minimum price.  This is a great feature if you sell a warranty on an item and the warranty is a % of the item cost.

Receiving

improvement Set Supplier when Receiving Items

When receiving items that don't have a default supplier assigned, the system will now assign the supplier you are receiving from as the default supplier. This is really helpful when doing consignments, it saves an extra step.

Suppliers

new feature Added the ability to show any custom supplier field on the receiving screen.

Work Orders

new feature Added an option to hide Completed Work Ordres.

Classes and Events 

Do you offer classes?  Do you use coreFORCE (formally and currently known as coreSHOP and mistakenly often known as Coreware) and allow customers to register for classes online?  We are excited to announce the ability to register customers directly at the point of sale.

To enable this feature first you must be a coreFORCE customer, if you are not one already or have no idea what coreFORCE is, then please just drop us a help desk ticket.  With coreFORCE you can:

• Manage Memberships
• Offer Classes 
• Setup Range Reservations
• Enable Waivers
• And a whole lot more

Once you have coreFORCE you can visit the Store Configuration and under the Scheduling section enable the Events/Classes.  Make sure to check the box if you typically charge tax for events and classes.

Once you enabled this option when you access the sale screen you will see the Events/Classes button at the top right of the screen:

Clicking this button will bring up our beautiful calendar showing you all the classes and events that you have set up in coreFORCE.  The price along with the number of registrants and total capacity will be displayed.

Once you see the class/event you are looking for just click it to add the class/event to the sale transaction.  You can also narrow down the list by clicking the drop down in the top left to only show specific classes/events that the customer is interested in.

As I type all this I realize this should be a video - HINT HINT to my staff.   This is a great new feature for any store or range that offers any type of class.   

By the way, if you are adding a new customer they will be added to the website automatically (coreFORCE customers only!).

coreFORCE

new feature Add new customers to web site

New customers will be added as new contacts (if not found based on email address search).  This option is defaulted to true.  So if you don't want new contacts to be added to your web site make sure to uncheck this option.

4473 & Boundbook

new feature Reset PDF

You can now reset the PDF if for any reason the PDF that is printing does not reflect the information you are excpecting to see.

new feature Hide Archived 4473's & Force All CAP

Two new bound book configuration options are now enabled.  The first one allows you to force the system so that all data entered on the 4473 screen is in CAPS.  Just Rememebr that if you set this option it doesn't mean your customers are yelling at you.

The second new option allows you to hide archived 4473's by default.  By checking this box your archived 4473's will be hidden when you access the Manage 4473 screen.

new feature TICS Integration

We have added support to our NICS plug-in for the Tennessee Instant Check which replaces the NICS check.   It works by using the latest NICS plug-in.  If you are in TN then this one is a great feature.   If you are in a state that uses a state background check system and would like us to automate the process, please let us know and we will do our best to accommodate your request.  The state with the most requests will win the race and will be the next state we automate.

important If you are in TN and want to use this new feature please make sure to download the latest NICS plug-in if you want to use this feature.
