Enterprise release 20230130 introduces a whole new way to manage products & services.
The IDEXX Enterprise Team has been working in the second half of 2022 until today on a completely new way to manage products and services and deliver bulk changes into Animana and Cornerstone Practice Management Systems. There is more to come, but below is an outline of the key enhancements included in this commercial release.
A New Way to Product {beta}
Now for participating corporate groups, Products and Services across all connected practices are even easier to search, compare, update, and create.
Search at Scale
We introduced best in class search powered by AWS' OpenSearch and Material UI Grid. The combined technology enables us to deliver for the first time a scalable way to search thousands of products across an entire groups at lighting speed.
Our Autocomplete feature allows customers to pinpoint their products with just a few characters and zero clicks. Finally we simplified our search bar so that users don't have to configure their search, we use the power of OpenSearch to anticipate their needs.
Better Results
We listened to our Customers and we revolutionized the way we display results so that users can see variation in product and service setup and price at a glance. No more cumbersome paging through variant tabs to see variations in active status or price.
Finally, we gave them complete control over columns they want to see, filter, and sort.
Changes Big and Small
Standardizing products through Enterprise has never been easier. Now users can push products from an HQ clinic or Master Clinic
in bulk, for all practices, a specific region, or specific practices. Users can simply search for their collection of products, select the products they want to distribute, and push.
Users can also now make targeted changes to a single clinic with fewer clicks. They can access a single clinic directly from their search results, make a change, and publish.
Coming Soon
Optimized Updates
We are in the final stages of releasing our queuing system to enable updates to be throttled by organization to ensure maximum efficiency and zero timeouts.
Improved Import
We are working to leverage the power of OpenSearch to enable our price Import feature to scale and not overwhelm the practice management systems. This will allow groups import larger price change sheets with a few clicks.
Moving Products
We are completing the swing on bulk changes to allow users to easily move products from one product category to another, or standardize the names of products across practices in just a few clicks
Supplier Code Support
Customers want the ability to be able to easily find, manage, and import products by using the supplier code to identify products across clinics. We are introducing Supplier Code into search, Import, and edit.
User Preferences
We will be adding support to remember user search result preferences so they won't need to reconfigure their results each time they search.
