BlueTrace Distributor

Version 7.2 of the BlueTrace distributor app includes an enhancement to Traceability lot code, and updates related to the Inventory feature available in the BlueTrace web app. We've also fixed some bugs related to inventory calculation.

Improvements to inventory calculation, bilingual French tags

Bug fixes and enhancements to the back end. Optionally, you can manage the items you carry, your customers and vendors in our new web application.

Most users will notice a new field called "habitat/production method" used to specify if the lot of seafood you're handling was farm raised or wild caught. Reach out if you'd like to use this field while printing tags.

Fix for an issue on the TSC mobile printers. After calibration, the print offset was set so the paper was oriented under the tear bar. We've increased this offset so the perforation is now level with the tear bar. Calibrate and print 1 tag to see it in action.

Version 6.10.5 includes some changes to how we interface with our printers. This attempts to fix an issue where sometimes a job is sent to the printer and a blank comes out of the printer, but it looks like it should have printed.

Routine maintenance to improve visibility into printing.

Minor enhancement to shipping labels.

• Bug fix related to generating tag image attachments to customer emails when tags haven't been printed
• Bug fix related to cleaning up images in temporary device store more aggressively to ensure there's enough space to send images to the printer (solves issue with blank tags being spit out during print jobs).

• Expanded how we handle the CA prop 65 consumer warning - new setting added
• Expanded functionality for shellstock dealers who are certified to perform depuration

• Improved viewing of attached images inside the app
• Adjustment to the sequence of printed tags - matches the sequence of lots added to an order
• Bug fixes and back-end maintenance

In this version we have a few high impact changes:

• We made a big improvement to how we send tag and label information from the app to the printer. The most noticeable change for most folks will be the fonts and spacing on the tags are updated. Tags can have a 2 column layout instead of 1, and can have a "highlight" added to make something stand out (reach out to get this setup). These changes are not available on some older mobile printers.
• We're now offering a smaller format tag (industrial printers only) - 5.5" x 2.625"
• The advance shipping notice email you can send from the app to your customer can now be sent to more than 1 email address AND include images of your tags as attachments.
• If you have a TSC industrial printer with a cutter attachment, it now can support all the types of tags we offer.

In version 6.8.4 you'll see the following changes:
1. Disable the "Gross quantities" in settings. Most folks should use "Favorite" quantities, not gross. Email Cat or your rep if you have questions about quantity.
2. When you enter a number of containers, we'll auto-fill in the tag count as well - you can turn this off in settings
3. Export a PDF for one Receive log item at a time. Tap on any entry in your receive log, then tap export to check it out.
4. When you are the original shipper of an item, you'll see the "original shipper(if other than above)" label print out, but no shipper listed, inspectors say it helps them understand that YOU are the original shipper and it's not a mistake.
5. Bug Fix: scanning consecutive inventory labels now works to build an order via scanning inventory labels
6. Bug Fix: fixed an issue with icing/refrigeration date when you copy an item in the receive log

A change to the shipping label for a customer.
