Customer Accounts, Admin Notes, CAPTCHA and ...

Early January 2025

Oh so many big and little things to go over here....where to start!

CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS This release is a huge step towards our (much larger) goal of unlocking much-requested "contractor tools". While we continue to baby-step through the development there, this particular detail really helps sets the stage. With this release, anyone who has ordered from your BDP-powered site can now log in and see past orders, as well as easily re-order. If you squint your eyes, you'll see how this functionality is critically important to contractors being able to (soon) log in and manage their own orders alongside many other pro-level details.

PUBLIC NAVIGATION Thanks to some great feedback, we realized that the (simple) volume calculator we provide for embedding should be able to be found as part of the published BDP (public) pages. Links to this, and your delivery zones, can now be found in the upper (hamburger) navigation on all public BDP pages. REVENUE PENDING One of our newest customers let us know that their controlling and accounting teams needed to know, at any moment the value of product sales that had not yet been fulfilled/delivered. We already provide "Pending" values for the units of measuer on these sales, so it made sense to weave in the actual monetary value as well.

ADMIN NOTES BDP has always made it possible for customers to leave "Delivery Instructions" with their orders, and that information is pushed right to the hands of those a cna't wait ctually performing the deliveries. This works really well, but there's also a need for administrators to add their own notes albeit for a specific delivery, or attached to a customer. With this release, BDP staff can now leave these kinds of notes and know that they'll appear alongside the customer-provided instructions, but will not be viewable by customers. We can't wait to see how you all use this new functionality.
