Enhanced Inventory Management
Managing inventory just got a whole lot easier and more secure. With new permission settings, AutoLeap allows you to control who can create and edit inventory purchase orders. This ensures only authorized team members can manage stock replenishment while others have read-only access, improving accountability and reducing errors.
AutoLeap has also upgraded its Inventory Activity Reporting to include sale events, giving you a clearer picture of inventory movement. Whether you’re tracking additions or sales, this enhanced visibility helps you better understand inventory trends. Plus, updates to item activity logs now track adjustments between inventory and non-inventory classifications, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.

A new permission setting allows only designated users to create and edit inventory purchase orders, helping to streamline stock replenishment.

Inventory Activity Report has been improved to now include sale events. Previously, only the addition of inventory items was logged, but now sales of inventory items are also captured for better tracking and visibility.

Item activity logs now track adjustments in inventory type, capturing when items change classifications between inventory and non-inventory.
Sublet Service Tracking
Tracking sublet services is now effortless with AutoLeap’s new features. Sublet services—outsourced work like specialty repairs or vendor-provided maintenance—can now be added directly to service lines in ROs.
Why does this matter? You gain full visibility into the costs, revenue, and profitability of these services, empowering you to set appropriate pricing with confidence. AutoLeap even allows you to assign sublet suppliers, track their progress, and sync these payables with QuickBooks Online. This eliminates manual accounting entries and ensures smooth vendor payment management.
By setting your desired profit margins in AutoLeap’s pricing settings, the system will automatically calculate customer pricing based on the cost of sublet services, helping you maintain profitability without the guesswork.
Charge Accounts (Coming Soon)
Get ready to streamline customer invoicing with AutoLeap’s upcoming Charge Accounts feature. This allows you to set and manage customer credit limits with built-in safeguards for accounts that exceed their limits.
This update gives you the flexibility to confidently invoice customers based on their credit situation while keeping your cash flow in check. Charge Accounts not only improve billing accuracy but also reduce risk by helping you track customer balances and enforce limits automatically.
