📦 Inventory Physical Count (True-Up)
Conduct accurate physical inventory counts with a streamlined session-based workflow. Start a counting session, scan or search for items, and let CloudBridal identify discrepancies between your recorded and actual stock levels.
What's New:
- Flexible Item Entry: Search for items by name or scan barcodes for fast counting — with audio feedback confirming each scan
- Session Management: Start a counting session, leave and come back later — your progress is saved and ready to pick up where you left off
- Discrepancy Detection: Automatically identifies variances between your system quantities and physical counts
- Finalization Summary: Review a complete breakdown of stock adjustments — units added, removed, and net cost impact — before committing changes
- Post-Count Disposal: Immediately mark zero-stock items for disposal after completing your count
Key Benefits:
- Maintain accurate inventory records with regular physical counts
- Reduce shrinkage and identify discrepancies early
- Save time with barcode scanning instead of manual data entry
How to Access:
- Navigate to Inventory and select Physical Count from the tools menu
- Requires the Inventory: Manage permission

🔧 Inventory Management Tools
A new suite of analytical tools to help you keep your inventory clean, profitable, and well-organized.
What's New:
- Disposal Candidates: Identify items with zero stock across all variants — perfect for cleaning up items that are no longer available
- Discontinued with Stock: Find discontinued items that still have remaining stock, making it easy to plan clearance or disposal
- Slow Movers: Analyze sales velocity to spot items with low turnover, including days available, sales per month, and cost value on hand
- Missing Wholesale Prices: Quickly find and update variants that are missing wholesale cost data, with inline editing
- Bulk Price Update: Update retail, wholesale, and sale prices for all items from a specific vendor in one view (admin only)
Key Benefits:
- Keep your inventory lean by identifying and removing dead stock
- Make informed pricing decisions with sales velocity data
- Ensure wholesale pricing is complete for accurate margin calculations
How to Access:
- Navigate to Inventory and select any tool from the Tools menu
🎨 Consolidated Branding Settings
All of your brand customization options — previously spread across different settings areas — are now consolidated into a single Branding page.
What's New:
- Global Brand Colors: Set your primary color, page background, accent color, and navigation bar color once, and they apply across all customer-facing areas (appointment scheduler, client portal)
- Per-Area Overrides: Still need different colors for the scheduler vs. the portal? Optional overrides let you customize each area independently while inheriting your global defaults
- Font Selection: Choose from a curated list of Google Fonts with a live preview — applied to all customer-facing pages
Key Benefits:
- Set your brand colors once instead of configuring each area separately
- Ensure a consistent look across all customer touchpoints with less effort
- Fine-tune individual areas when needed with optional overrides
📋 Enhanced Document Signing Visibility
E-signed documents now surface more detail about the signing process, making it easier to track activity and follow up.
What's New:
- Signing Channel: See whether a document was signed in-store, via email, or through a direct link
- Printable Audit Summary: Print a summary sheet showing key document events — creation, sending, viewing, and signing — with timestamps
- View Tracking: See when emailed documents were first opened by the customer
Key Benefits:
- Quickly see the status and history of any signed document
- Follow up with customers who have received but not yet signed their documents
📊 Client Portal Order Progress
Customers can now see a visual progress tracker for their orders in the client portal, giving them a clear sense of where things stand.
What's New:
- Progress Timeline: A clean, animated step indicator showing Ordered → In Progress → Complete
- Estimated Arrival Dates (Opt-In): Optionally show customers when their items are expected to arrive. This is off by default — you choose whether to share arrival estimates. When enabled, you can add buffer days so the dates shown to customers are comfortably padded
- Enable in Settings: Turn on in your Client Portal Settings
Key Benefits:
- Give customers visibility into their order status without fielding phone calls
- Full control over what date information is shared — nothing is shown unless you enable it
🗓️ Additional Improvements
Custom Appointment Booking Messages:
- Customize the success message shown to customers after booking, with separate messages for confirmed, pending, and waitlisted appointments. Configure per appointment type in Appointment Settings.
Appointment Policy Acknowledgment:
- When an appointment involves a payment or saved card, customers are now asked to acknowledge your cancellation, no-show, or payment policy before completing their booking. A printable acknowledgment record is available via View Policy Acknowledgment in the appointment's actions menu.
Monthly Appointment Availability:
- The public appointment scheduler now pre-loads which dates have available slots, making it faster for customers to find and book appointments.
Staff Schedule Enhancements:
- The staff schedule now displays the number of appointments booked per day and shows a visual indicator when the store is closed.
Showcase Discontinued Items:
- Choose to include discontinued items that still have inventory in your Inventory Showcase, so customers can still browse items available for purchase.
