This one's a big one! From Auto Updates to archiving and a new App Store, we’re rolling out features designed to keep your warehouse flowing and your UI fresh 🚀.
Domain Change – Now “yourname.myhelm.app”
We’ve updated the domain structure! Moving to “yourname.myhelm.app”. This will log everyone out, so best to carry this out outside working hours.
Auto Update Infrastructure – Now Live
Say hello to Auto Updates! HELM WMS can now update itself automatically, so you’re always on the latest version without lifting a finger.
Dashboard Graph – Refreshed & Scrollable
The Dashboard graph got a facelift! Scrollable, with daily despatched orders, created orders, and total sales.
Bonus: refresh button for real-time updates!
Cost-Based Stock Value History Report – New!
Track cost prices from purchase orders with our Cost-Based Stock Value History Report. Enable it via General Settings > Stock Control.
Order Tags – Now Managed During Imports
Set custom order tags when importing orders. Leave it blank? We’ll tag with the import date as usual.
Warehouse Location Cloning – Faster Setup
Clone locations from an existing warehouse when creating a new one. Plus, location name uniqueness is now warehouse-based.
Auto Allocation for Batch Label Printing
Orders are now automatically allocated before batch label printing begins. Orders that can’t be allocated? We’ll show them separately.
Delivery Chunking – No More Timeouts
Big deliveries? Chunked and processed in the background — say goodbye to timeout errors in the UI and app.
Despatched Order Archiving – 90-Day Rule
Orders older than 90 days that are despatched are automatically archived daily. Keeps your system fast — archived orders still searchable via filters.
Sales Channels & Couriers Pages – Simplified
These pages now only show active channels and couriers. Add new ones through a handy popup at the bottom right.
Order Action Buttons – Always Visible
All order action buttons on the order detail page are now always visible. If something’s not usable, it’s disabled with a helpful tooltip.
Human-Readable Tags – Cleaner UI Option
New toggle under General Settings > Defaults: hide unreadable tags (channel-sent gibberish). Keep your UI clean and readable.
Partners API & New App Store – Integrated
The Partners API is here with a new App Store! Install apps with new functionalities.
(The old App Store is now called Plugin Store.)
Warehouse Visibility – For Inventory Locations
Inventory locations now display their associated warehouse. Clarity where it counts.
Fulfillment Clients – Global Inventory Custom Fields Access
Fulfillment clients can now view and update global inventory custom fields. More transparency, more control.
Sales Channel Info – Now on Packing Terminal
Sales channel name, platform icon, and URL are now shown on the Packing Terminal — giving packers clearer context.
Parentheses in SKUs – Now Supported
Inventory SKUs can now include ( ). More flexibility for naming.
Name & Postcode Sorting – Reintroduced
Sorting by name and postcode is back! Toggle it on via General Settings.
Custom Field Deletion – Issues Fixed
Deleting custom fields? Now works smoothly without leftover quirks.
Multi-Line Descriptions – Order Imports Fixed
Multi-line descriptions in order imports no longer cause errors.
UI Tweaks – Helm Rebranding Adjustments
Cleaned up a few UI inconsistencies from the HELM rebrand.
System Maintenance – Performance Boosted
General system speed and performance improvements applied.
Verify Product Overflow – Fixed in Packing Terminal
High-inventory orders won’t overflow off-screen during product verification anymore.
Merge Order Filter – Order Counts Fixed
Order counts now display correctly when using the Merge Order filter.
Dashboard Warehouse Filter – Hidden for Single-Warehouse Setups
Got one warehouse? The Dashboard filter is now hidden for simpler views.
Auto-updating, auto-archiving, and auto-allocating — HELM just got a whole lot smarter 🚀
