We added a few nice tweaks based on recent feedback including:

• Sort the Approvals page to quickly find the most recent (or oldest) approvals
• Request a quote and pay for your quote items with your PCard using Stripe. 
• Report on blanket order funds available and product tags with our updates to the Order Export. 
• The Guided Buying tiles can now be reorganized into your community's preferred order.
• When managing Remittance Addresses, we now pre-fill the Supplier's Name as the name of the address.

Available Now

Available 6th August 2022

Over the past few months we have steadily rolled out the new marketplace to eager customers with the large majority now using the improved functionality. Feedback has been fantastic and we've taken suggestions and made a few updates along the way. 

It's now time to flick the switch for all remaining customers so that we can ensure everyone is getting the best possible experience. We will complete the full marketplace change-over on Monday August 15th.

If you have any concerns or reasons you feel you cannot transition please contact your account manager.  

Orders that are fully invoiced can annoyingly hang about in an Open state for a long time making it hard to understand which orders are 'complete' and no longer a financial commitment. 

Our new auto-close feature for completed orders helps you ensure your commitments are accurate by automatically closing all your orders that are fully invoiced and finalized. To ensure this does not happen too soon you can also set a time delay to allow for late credits and other scenarios. 

Help to setup this feature can be found here.

For customers that have not opted to integrate using our APIs, the only option we have offered in the past is a manual upload via the application. That is all about to change!

We have introduced a new integration option which allows flat files such as a CSV to be automatically loaded into Unimarket via secure FTP making it easy to keep your data up to date and saving you time.

As a starting point the new integration option can be enabled for Users, and Approval Groups, Approval Chains and Rulesets. We hope to add further file upload options in the future. 

If you are interested in enabling this option please notify your Account Manager.

Our new Contracts Export is now available from the main contracts menu. This will download a summary of all contracts you have currently filtered. It includes key information such as who all of the current members are and will help you easily manage changes to these key documents.

The existing export is still available for specific contract types, we've just renamed this to Contract Details Export.

Help can be found here.

A new Create button at the top of the marketplace home screen lets users create non-catalog orders, blanket orders, and RFQs more quickly and easily. You will also find the Create button on the supplier page if you prefer selecting a supplier first.

Users can now easily set suppliers as favorites, making it quicker to make repeat purchases from the same suppliers. Buyers simply click the Favorites Only switch to instantly view their favorites.

The home screen Community Messages section is now clearer and more prominent so you will never miss another important message or notification.

Once closed, messages can be viewed at any time from the Learning Center.

We now display the most frequently used catalogs on the marketplace supplier tiles, saving buyers time and effort. Simply click the catalogue directly from the home screen or supplier search results screen.

A new home screen Guided Buying section lets you direct users to your tagged suppliers, catalogs, and more. 

Community supplier tags will appear in the Guided Buying section so buyers can quickly filter suppliers by the selected tag. In future releases we will offer further configuration around the Guided Buying section so it can be tailored to your needs.
