Dear Customer,
This includes new product feature release notes and updates for the Hopstack Platform.
We have also included relevant support materials to help you navigate the new changes to the platform. Please click the Support Resources hyperlink under the relevant topic headers to open the support materials.
Discontinuation of Blind Receiving
After careful consideration and analysis, we have decided to discontinue the Blind Receiving feature within the Hopstack platform.
This decision comes as a result of the challenges we have encountered with blind receiving, particularly in relation to inventory management and audit processes.
The lack of a specific consignment association has led to inventory discrepancies and confusion during audits, ultimately impacting our operational efficiency.
Effective immediately, blind receiving will no longer be available on the platform. We understand that this change may require some adjustments to your current workflow, but we believe it is necessary to ensure the accuracy and reliability of our inventory data.
Moving forward, all receiving processes must be associated with a specific consignment and tracked accordingly.
