## 2026-11-12: Cardi makes changes you confirm, and buyers follow their shipments

- Your team can ask Cardi to change styles, lists, purchase orders, shipments and comments; each change shows a preview and nothing happens until you confirm.
- Confirm all of Cardi's changes or only the ones you pick, up to 2,000 records at a time, and every change is tagged via Cardi in the audit log.
- Ask Cardi what needs you, compare any two periods, or find styles by photo; an opt-in morning brief email arrives at 07:00 your time.
- Styles shown on a wishlist at a meeting now count as pitches, so Style Pitcher learns from what buyers were shown and what they ordered.
- Buyers can follow their own shipments once you switch it on for their company, and retailer intelligence now refreshes itself overnight.

## 2026-11-03: Select and act on every list, and order documents by stage

- Styles, orders, shipments, samples, customers, tasks and the other lists share one Select button and one bar of bulk actions.
- From the order list, set the category, create a shipment from the selected orders, or print their labels in one go.
- Each purchase order lists the documents due at its current stage, and a Missing documents filter finds the gaps.
- Styles and orders carry a category, and reports show sales, profit and margin by category to the roles allowed to see them.
- The Inbox tabs share one layout, and staff emails now say what happened in the subject line.

## 2026-10-23: Your 3PL warehouse gets its own receiving portal

- People at your outside warehouse get their own logins and see only the shipments bound for their warehouse, never prices or invoices.
- They find a shipment by container number and mark it received, or received with issues with a note and photos.
- Receiving alerts reach the people you choose, and each warehouse gets advance notice of shipments headed its way.
- Product photos now come from one Make photos flow, with a library of models and a run that fills missing shots in bulk.

## 2026-09-30: Task boards on every record, plus workstreams

- Tasks gain a board view with Open, In progress, Blocked and Done columns; drag a card to move it along.
- Styles, orders, sample requests, shipments, customers, factories and sample loans each open their own task board.
- Workstreams hold work that belongs to no single record, such as a launch, with an owner and a due date.
- An All boards page lists every board with open work, most urgent first.

## 2026-08-25: Photo brand safety and plus-size pricing

- Every product photo is checked for tech packs, hangtags, price labels and another retailer's brand, and admins review the flags on one screen.
- List pricing reads MSRP, margin, cost and landed price, set per list.
- Set a plus-size upcharge on a style and the plus price follows; buyers see the price, never the percentage.
- Style Finder's matching was rebuilt, and whiteboard frames now export as a multi-page PDF.

## 2026-08-23: Whiteboards become a design tool, and lists carry their own prices

- Whiteboards have their own place in the menu, and a board can start blank with the customer chosen later.
- Your team can ask Cardi from the board to add, arrange or analyse tiles while they watch.
- Personal boards give each person a private canvas for ideas that are not ready to show.
- Each list carries its own pricing, so one garment can be quoted two ways for two buyers; buyers see a price only when the list turns it on.

## 2026-08-17: Tasks arrive, attached to the work they are about

- Create, assign and track tasks on an order, style, sample request, customer or shipment, and see them on that record.
- Owners are suggested from your workflow stage owners, so a task lands with whoever owns that stage.
- Blocker chains release a task when the one before it is done, and checklist templates start a whole process in one click.
- Style Pitcher records a pitch when an order is committed and releases it if the order is cancelled, so win rates reflect real outcomes.

## 2026-08-06: Whiteboards on sample requests, and three ways to start one

- Every sample request has whiteboards for sketching, pinning and marking up a fit, worked on live by your team.
- Start a sample request from an existing style, a new design or a moodboard.
- Buyers can download a wishlist as a line-sheet PDF, with prices always off in their copy.

## 2026-06-30: One guided sample checkout, and division-level buyer access

- Requesting samples is one guided checkout (review, options, details, confirm) for buyers and your team alike.
- Pick a color, quantities by size and a note for each style before you submit.
- Buyers assigned to a division see only that division's styles, wishlists, sample requests, loans and inquiries.
- Search forgives plurals and small typos, and similar styles show why each one matched.

## 2026-06-15: A buyer home, draft purchase orders and warm-buyer alerts

- Record factory capacity, compliance audits and certifications, and see them together on one dashboard.
- Check samples in and out by scanning, and check many in at once.

## 2026-04-15: Sample tracking, a production dashboard and barcode scanning

- The production dashboard shows active orders, overdue, ready to ship and on-time delivery, with a stage pipeline and alerts.
- A time-and-action calendar lays each order's milestones on a Gantt timeline, so delays show early.
