🚀 New Features
🎉 Apparel Purchase Orders Are Here!
Our first-ever PO experience built specifically for fashion brands.
What’s new:
Matrix view: Enter quantities in a size × color grid instead of endless rows
Product-family grouping: Manage entire styles (parent items) + all variants in one place
Style # / Item Code support: Searchable codes in Catalog & Inventory screens

Impact:
✅ Faster PO creation for large assortments
✅ Easier for factories to read
✅ Unlocks a segment driving 35% of lost deals today

🔍 Search for Catalog Items Needing Review
Problem: Customers with large catalogs (up to 15k SKUs) had to manually Command+F through paginated lists when reviewing synced SKUs.
Solution: Added search to the “Needs Review from Sync” view—find SKUs instantly without scrolling page by page.
Why it matters:
✅ Big time-saver for implementations
✅ Easier catalog cleanup for large merchants
✨ QBO Bill Sync Improvements
Problem: Customers syncing Bills without syncing Catalog items hit errors—QBO couldn’t match line items with missing item details.
Solution:
Bills now sync seamlessly by category
Catalog Item passed as line item description
Sync logic adapts if Catalog sync is enabled later
Impact:
✅ No more manual error resolution
✅ Reliable Bill sync even if Catalog/PO sync is disabled
✅ Simpler customer experience
🎉 Introducing Settle Insights
Problem: CPG brands struggle with fragmented data across Shopify, WMS, and accounting tools—making decisions without a single source of truth.
Solution:
Embedded dashboards powered by Metabase, now live inside Settle
First two dashboards:
CFO Dashboard: Core financial metrics every brand should track
Sales Analysis: Top-selling SKUs so you can double down on winners
Impact:
✅ Essential financial + sales insights, all in one place
✅ Live today for all customers
✨ CSV Uploads for Catalog Items & Baseline Costs
Problem: Smaller brands often keep data in spreadsheets, slowing onboarding.
Solution:
Upload Catalog Items and Baseline Costs via CSV directly in the UI
Self-serve onboarding without manual entry
Impact:
✅ Faster time-to-value
✅ Increased self-service adoption
✅ Roadmap: bulk updates for catalog items coming soon
📈 Purchase Orders Line Items CSV Export
Problem: PO exports only included partial header information, leaving gaps for merchants.
Solution:
Extended CSV export with more PO header data.
Added full PO Line Items export, including:
All line item details
Shipments and delivery info (multi-shipment supported—items appear once per shipment line)
Matches PO PDFs for accuracy
Impact:
✅ Easier data sharing with vendors and teams
✅ Complete visibility into shipments
✨ Additional Enhancements
Streamlined PDF view toggles for additional expenses (paired with landed cost improvements)
