    Create and manage ready-to-use catalog items

    Introducing the new Catalog feature — suppliers can now predefine items with key details and configurations. These catalog items are instantly available when creating quotes, speeding up workflows for both suppliers and clients.

    Simplify quoting with or without a file

    When creating a quote item, users can now select a catalog item, upload a new file, or continue without a file — a flexible quoting experience tailored to different customer needs.

    Suppliers can choose whether to enable the “quote without a file” option in their settings. Quote items can also now include images — ideal for catalog entries or showcasing a finished product even when a file is available.

    Visual support for all your items

    You can now attach images to both catalog and quote items — whether or not they include a file. This is especially useful when you want to show a real-world photo of a finished part or provide visual context to your team or clients.

    This added flexibility helps improve communication, particularly for standard or frequently quoted items.

    A Clearer View of Your Manufacturing Steps

    Improved process category drawer

    We’ve redesigned the process category drawer to be more informative and user-friendly. You’ll now see more contextual data and a cleaner layout when reviewing manufacturing steps for an item.

    This makes it easier to understand each category's role in production, reducing errors and saving time.

    Easier navigation in manufacturing

    When managing an order item’s manufacturing steps, the active process category is now automatically highlighted and scrolled into view.

    You can also filter which categories appear — a major benefit for suppliers managing many categories and processes. This keeps your interface clean and focused.

    Click into production from the order view

    The circles representing processes in the order view are now clickable. Clicking a process takes you straight to its manufacturing page, so you can quickly create or manage batches — no more backtracking or extra clicks.

    This small improvement goes a long way in speeding up your day-to-day production management.
