Enhanced dashboards and innovative features for smarter partnerships

We're thrilled to announce sweeping enhancements to Enable, set to revolutionize your interaction with the platform. From a new price list support mechanism Special Pricing Agreements to simplifying the process of creating deals with multiple trading partners, we have something for everyone. These advancements, released on our UAT channels on February 24th, 2023, will go to your live channels on April 1, 2023, marking a significant leap in the versatility and functionality of our platform. Prepare to experience a whole new level of productivity and convenience!

Executive dashboard gets smarter

Diving deeper into the Executive Dashboard, you'll notice the brand-new trading partner filter. As if that weren't exciting enough, we've also introduced the ability to customize the way you sort the opportunities that show within the Executive dashboard. This can then be saved and used within Progress Tracker to ensure that you are able to see the same opportunities and gain further insight into their performance, helping you make better-informed decisions.

Partner dashboard’s capabilities expanded

The first additional thing that strikes you within the Partner dashboard is the added support for evergreen programs. You'll notice these program lines don't have end dates, enhancing the visibility of your ongoing programs. With this release, you can also say goodbye to the 20-character limit for trading partner references—we've bumped up that limit to accommodate more detailed references. And there's more! Our developers have been hard at work carrying out numerous performance optimizations and testing improvements to ensure an even smoother, more responsive user experience.

Though we've made some strides, there's always room for improvement. With this release, we've taken our first steps towards supporting separate target and earnings functionality. Full support, including mechanisms for discounts, deductions, G&I targets, etc., will come with our next release, so stay tuned!

Trading programs - now more versatile

We've made it easier than ever to manage your trading relationships with the introduction of copying proposal trading programs across trading partners. This fantastic feature allows you to copy a basic trading program to different trading partners, significantly simplifying the creation of your deals that are similar across  And this is just the beginning! Our development team is already working on enhancing this feature to support more complex trading programs.

Special pricing agreements (SPAs) - user experience refined

Last but not least, we've introduced several exciting improvements to SPAs. Leading us off we’ve unveiled a new percent of price list support mechanism. This allows for the application of a support rate to the “into stock” price. For instance, an “into stock” price of $10 with a 10% support rate provides a support of $1. Furthermore, you can now add notes to templates that automatically flow into the notes section and PDFs of child Special Pricing Agreements, saving you time and effort. So now for example you could include your terms and conditions in the template and those would be shown on the PDF of the SPA.

Next up is a new feature we’ve added that allows you to specify the number of days a SPA should accept transactions for support after its end date. This provides you with more control and ensures timely SPA claims. Also, we've streamlined the SPA creation process by eliminating the Distributor Support Contract (DSC) configuration step. This means that you now select your price list in the DSC. This makes the contract creation process more consistent and efficient. In addition to making SPAs easier to create, we’ve also made them easier to understand. Now all product categories or groups shown on PDFs display a mechanism value, providing greater clarity and promoting transparency on agreement terms.

What’s coming up?

In line with Enable’s commitment to release product updates on a regular cadence, we have numerous other new features under development that will be ready for you to view in your UAT environment on April 7, 2023. Deployment of this next set of features to your live environment will take place on May 13, 2023.

Included in the next update we are looking to add:

  • You will be able to skip making a during Special Pricing Agreement creation if you don’t want to specify an end customer.
  • Updates to the Executive Dashboard will allow you to configure your view and provide a sidebar to free up space to see more of what you want to see.
  • The ability to select up to 10 trading partners and replicate the trading program with all of them at the same time.

These updates mark significant milestones in our journey to provide you with the most comprehensive, user-friendly platform possible. But rest assured, we're not done yet. With more exciting enhancements and features in the pipeline, we remain committed to improving your experience with our platform.
