June 2026 platform updates

"While we're continually improving the platform through updates like those featured this month, we're equally focused on understanding what comes next.

"We're exploring how fulfilmentcrowd can do more than simply present information – helping brands surface insights, answer questions and make better operational decisions. The survey further down this blog post is an important part of that process, and I'd encourage you to share your thoughts. Your feedback will directly influence where we invest our time and effort next."

Improved search for Activities

When you're investigating stock movements or reviewing fulfilment activity, finding the right information quickly matters.

To make this easier, we've enhanced the Activities search functionality within the platform.

Previously, users could only search using an activity reference. Now, you can also search using a product code or product description.

This gives teams more flexibility when looking for information and removes the need to have exact activity references to hand before starting a search.

Whether you're investigating a specific SKU, checking recent inventory activity or reviewing fulfilment events linked to a particular product, the new search functionality helps you get to the information you need faster.

It's a simple improvement, but one that can save valuable time when managing large product catalogues or high volumes of operational activity.

 

Inventory transfers now support EANs

We've also introduced an enhancement to inventory transfer uploads that makes stock management more straightforward for businesses working primarily with barcode data.

Previously, inventory transfer files required a product's unique product code when creating transfer lines.

With this update, users can now provide a valid EAN within the Product Code field instead.

The platform will automatically recognise the EAN and match it to the corresponding product in your catalogue.

For many businesses, EANs are the identifier most commonly used across purchasing, warehousing and inventory management processes. Supporting EANs directly within inventory transfer uploads removes an unnecessary step and makes transfer preparation quicker and easier.

It's another small improvement that helps reduce manual effort while improving flexibility across inventory workflows.

 

Greater flexibility with quarantine stores

We've introduced a new enhancement to manual order creation that gives users greater control over how inventory is allocated.

When creating Sales Orders or Custom Orders, users can now select a Quarantine Store directly within the order creation process.

In some situations, stock held in quarantine still needs to be allocated to specific orders for testing, inspection, rework or other controlled fulfilment activities.

Previously, this often required additional stock movements or inventory management steps before an order could be created.

By allowing users to select a Quarantine Store directly during order entry, operational teams can manage these scenarios more efficiently while maintaining visibility and control over stock allocation.

Available quarantine stores will vary depending on account configuration.

 

Keep address data clean with delivery address deletion

Accurate data plays an important role in keeping fulfilment operations running smoothly. That's why we've introduced the ability to delete delivery addresses directly within the platform.

The feature allows users to remove addresses containing incorrect or outdated information, helping to keep address searches more organised and easier to manage.

Whether it's an invalid postcode, duplicate record or outdated customer information, users can now quickly remove unwanted addresses without needing to retain unnecessary data within the system.

While relatively minor, improvements like this help reduce clutter and support better data quality across everyday operations.

 

What's coming next?

Alongside recent releases, we're continuing work on several enhancements designed to support more advanced inventory management and product launch workflows.

Batch and serial number control via product uploads

We're continuing development of enhanced batch-control functionality within the platform.

As part of this work, users will soon be able to configure products as batch-controlled or serial-number tracked directly through product uploads.

For businesses managing products that require greater traceability, this will make setup and maintenance significantly easier.

The enhancement will support a wider range of inventory management requirements while reducing manual administration when onboarding or updating products.

Pre-release dates for product launches

We're also working on functionality that will allow brands to set pre-release dates for products within the platform.

This means products and orders can be loaded into the system ahead of launch, while fulfilment is automatically held until the specified release date has been reached.

For brands running product launches, pre-orders, limited-edition drops or coordinated release campaigns, this functionality will provide much greater control over fulfilment timing.

The goal is to simplify launch planning while ensuring customers receive products exactly when intended.

 

🔦 Feature spotlight: Product Data Health

This month's feature spotlight focuses on Product Data Health – a feature designed to help you maintain complete product information and keep orders moving without interruption.

Incomplete product data can create delays, compliance issues and operational challenges further down the line.

Product Data Health provides an at-a-glance view of how complete your product information is, making it easy to identify products that require attention before they become a problem.

Each product is assigned a health rating.

🔴 Poor: Missing an EAN code

🟠 OK: EAN code present, but one or more key fields are missing, including weight, dimensions, country of origin or harmonised code

🟢 Good: All essential fields have been completed

You'll see the health rating directly within your product listing page, allowing you to quickly identify products that need updating.

Clicking into a product reveals a dedicated Product Data Health section, highlighting any missing information and explaining exactly what's required.

Each field includes a convenient 'View' button that takes you directly to the area of the product record that needs updating.

The result is cleaner product data, fewer fulfilment issues and greater confidence that products are ready to move through your operation without unnecessary delays.

 

Help shape the future of fulfilmentcrowd

We're also looking beyond today's updates.

As we continue exploring new opportunities around automation, AI and operational intelligence, we're keen to understand how customers work today and where fulfilmentcrowd can add the most value in the future.

We're particularly interested in learning:

  • Which applications you spend most of your day using
  • How fulfilmentcrowd fits into your workflow
  • What fulfilment questions you regularly need answering
  • Where better automation or AI could save you time

Your feedback will help shape future development priorities and influence how fulfilmentcrowd evolves over the coming months and years.

If you'd like to contribute, we'd love to hear from you.

 

Want to discuss anything with the team?

Reach out to your account manager or raise a support ticket. We're always open to hearing your feedback – it's your daily experiences that help us create a better platform.

We'll continue sharing detailed updates as new features move from roadmap to release.
