Client warehouses despatching goods such as PPE and medications are offered extra shipping software licences to boost distribution free of charge. MD calls it "a no brainer".

We've added support for extended properties at the item level (used to be only at Sales Order level), meaning we can bring in bespoke fields for each item in the Linnworks inventory (e.g. colour, size, etc..). We've also added support for complex dynamic filtering of Sales Orders, empowering you to set clear criteria around when orders pass into PVX.

Our fastest Integration build yet – Thanks to our sophisticated infrastructure and a glorious courier API...

We've added automatic service code filtering for DHL. If you're confused between your U's and your P's, don't worry, just send us any code in the right class (express/economy) and we'll automatically send the correct code onto DHL.

In fashion, customers are ditching bras for pyjamas (Adore Me’s new best selling item) and swimwear for loungewear. Customers seem to be putting off buying Spring-Summer collections, delaying the bikini and buying into comfort.

We've added 5 more countries to our advanced postcode formatting and validation code. We'll now detect and report faults with most international postcodes, and apply formatting where no fault is detected.

Our integration with Polar Speed is worth special mention because this is our first temperature-controlled supplier...

In 2019, we found ourselves implementing automatic postcode corrections for a few clients who wanted to cut down the time it takes to check and correct manually. Due to its popularity and effectiveness, we plan to roll this out as a feature for everyone in 2020.

Here are the trendiest custom shipping rules of 2019 – ideas that have seen many of our clients through a fantastic year of growth for not a penny more. Perhaps there’s something that can be adapted for your warehouse in 2020!

We've added the new comparison method "any", to be added to the existing "and" and "or". This means you don't need 100% matching between conditions, you only need each condition to match once.
