Unleashed released an update in December that does a few more cool things to their warehouse management software. Here’s a couple of features that we know our customers will particularly appreciate:
Product Image
Unleashed now allows you to upload a picture as part of your product information: just the ticket if, for example, you need to be able to easily differentiate between very similar sounding product codes or if you’re a visual learner (like me). Here’s how it looks in practice:
That should make things a lot easier when you have a lot of similar product codes and need a visual cue.
The Product Image function supports the following image formats:
· JPEG
· JPG
· PNG
· GIF
Here’s a useful video tutorial from the people at Unleashed to show you just how to do it:

They've also updated the Date Format, allowing users more options in how to present a date, great if you're dealing with international clients or suppliers. By default, the format is dd/MM/yyyy (eg 30/01/2014) but there is now the option in the "Date Format" function to use international date formats (eg 01/30/2014 or 01/JAN/2014). Once you select which format you want from the drop down menu then Unleashed will update all date references across the system, You access the "Date Format" function via the Settings | Company Settings menu.
Coming up in 2014
Unleashed have also announced some more features to be released in the first quarter of 2014:
· Drop ship
· Product price mark-ups
· Purchase re-costing
· Sales allocate/deallocate
We'll be watching with interest: we're looking forward to seeing these enhancements and helping our customers implement them in their own Unleashed setups.
