Kryptronic Software Support Forum

The Amazon and eBay integrations are each delivered as an extension module which you can plug into the core.  The channel interface is part of the core, but the channels themselves are added on.

Before a date is posted, let me butt in.

Although the Amazon & eBay modules are reliable & functioning, I think a couple of small tweaks remain before it is ready for prime time. 

There are a lot of things I don't use that may be tested by others like WP & Vanilla Forum skins.

The shipping management has not been installed and several of my sites are awaiting multisite integration.

I keep finding little "Easter Eggs," small changes here and there to the core and modules.  Sometimes I'm told that an update is coming in the next few "days," sometimes it just happens.

I'm not privy to any changes on the internal code, but I'm pretty sure it is happening.

Now, as I've said before, I'm not even the messenger- more like a passenger- so don't shoot.  Like everyone else here, I cannot believe how long it is taking.

Agreed.  No more dates.  We've been thrown a few curve balls here over the past month or two as lgt alluded to.  Clients have been requesting meaningful additions to the software which have been going in.  I expect the last round of updates any day now, and have been saying that for a week.  Those include all the changes to the final batch shipping interface and the accounting integrations, which have been tested in various forms or another and are ready to be put into production.  That wraps it up then as far as software.  We've been working on the new Kryptronic site and documentation as well and that's all nearly ready to go too.  It seems like everything is wrapping up very quickly and nicely on this given how much time and effort has gone into everything.   This is one hell of a software package that doesn't resemble anything we've done before (or anyone else from what I'm told).

Sage and Peachtree are both CSV/File exports to those accounting systems.  Fairly basic without many changes.  Most of the heavy accounting changes were done on the Quickbooks side.  We'd be open to expanding the functionality of Peachtree and Sage as custom shop jobs for clients after release.

Hi Nick
So they're extensions you have to buy separately from from the core product?
And also how much longer now?

and it's all gone quiet over there.......................................................

I am wondering why these new features you have been trying to cram in haven't been left until further incremental updates, surely this would have been better? Less frustrated customers and you could have had it out there in the field already as surely there will be bugs etc that you would have come across by now...

re the release schedule, where was the option to pre order in June/July?
or do you mean January, as you told me "you're at the top of my queue listed as needing an install package and key" in January.

@zanart:  I may have you confused with another client, however I think we had a job pending for you which we were ultimately doing/including the coding in V9, however due to scheduling we implemented in V8 for you (the code also made it over to V9).  I believe at that time you indicated you were OK waiting for the production V9 release.  I could be completely mistaken, and if so, I apologize.

@GlennMUK and @zanart: I've sent you both a PM with a link to the V9 quote request form.  We already have a larger number of clients on the pre-order list than I'd like, and we're trying to keep it small.  Submitting the quote request will start the process needed to grab a full version next week.  We're starting to roll them out on Monday.

I'm not posting the request link here in the forum in hopes that other clients will hold off until the public release.  There is the possibility of a final update to V9 being required at the end of August for pre-order installations, so anyone pre-ordering now is typically expecting to update the software in August, and is generally setting up a new site and working on items like new display skins and catalog setup during August, and not going live until V9 does.

Trials are V8 until V9 is released.

Oh please,please,please, don't ask about release dates.  It breaks my heart.

For those who don't know, Kryptronic has an indeterminate rotation and orbit.  This makes time relative to Earth incalculable.

In my limited personal observations, a Kryptronic week varies between 10 days and 5.5 months, although I'm noticing a further slow down based on higher anticipation.

Over the past two to three weeks there have been a number of additions and changes to the module offerings for V9.  All of these were the result of client requests that made sense to do pre-release.  Of note, the batch shipping module is ODBC and CSV compatible at the same time, and contains all shipper modules (UPS, UPS Freight, FedEx, USPS Stamps.com) without the need to add them on.   Also added were Inventory Uploader, Inventory Predictor (with Mojo factor), Inventory Lookup and Stock Report, Rep/Affiliate Profitability Report, Customer View with Overview, Order History and Profitability Report.  Quickbooks IIF was dropped and XML support was greatly expanded through the web connector.

Good news:  We just tested batch shipping management on location for client zero yesterday, and average time from packing list scan into WorldShip and ShipManager to the label being printed via thermal printer was under 4 seconds.  The warehouse manager is thrilled.

Bad news: The release date is being pushed one final time, to Sept 12, 2016.  More time is needed to package this last set of modules and provide proper documentation and references in existing documentation.  V9 will release Sept 12, 2016.  I repeat V9 will release Sept 12, 2016.
