The biggest release we have shipped
It has been quiet since January. That was deliberate — we spent this year rebuilding the core of Brahmin Solutions rather than shipping small changes month by month, so the pieces work together properly instead of being improved one at a time.
It is all live now, and nothing needs turning on:
Purchasing rebuilt — orders, receiving, bills, vendors and returns
Sales and shipping rebuilt, including partial shipments and drop shipping
New calendar views for purchase and sales orders — drag an order to reschedule it
Reports, settings and reordering rebuilt
Shopify, QuickBooks and Xero updated
ShipStation rebuilt — ⚠️ existing users, see below
Still to come this year: a redesigned Manufacturing module, new dashboards, a rebuilt Permissions module, and brand new import tools.
Everything in detail below.
Purchasing, rebuilt
The whole purchasing side has been reworked — orders, receiving, bills, vendors and returns.
Purchase orders — redesigned create and detail screens, with line items you can edit inline
Receiving — a clearer receive form, and tracking fields that unlock as soon as you enter a
quantity and locationBills — create several bills against one order, with a billing progress bar so you can see
what is left to billVendors — a new vendor screen, bulk actions for price lists, payment terms, tags and status
Purchase returns — rebuilt end to end

New — purchase order calendar
See everything you have on order laid out on the days it is due to arrive.
Orders sit on their expected date, so you can see what is landing this week
Drag an order to a new day to reschedule it
Once an order is fulfilled it moves to the day it actually arrived and locks — so the calendar
shows your plan while an order is open, and what really happened once it closesMonth, week, day and year views
📘 Learn more: Use the purchase calendar
New — purchase order line items view
A dedicated view of every line across all your purchase orders, rather than order by order. Useful when you want to know what is on order for one product without opening a dozen documents.
Sales and shipping, rebuilt
Sales orders — redesigned create and detail screens
Shipments — a clearer four-stage flow with an explanation at every stage, and undo at each one
Partial shipments — type a quantity per location to ship what you have and leave the rest
outstandingSales returns — rebuilt, including the per-line Restock setting that decides whether
returned goods go back into sellable stockDrop shipping — a dedicated Dropshipment tab on any order with drop-ship lines

The sales calendar now works the same way as the new purchase one.

Reports, rebuilt
Sales reports — rebuilt across every breakdown, including sales by product variation
Invoice reports — rebuilt
Filters, saved views and period comparison across the report family
Settings, rebuilt
Settings has been reworked throughout — warehouses and locations, units of measure, tax rates, payment and shipping terms, price lists, currencies, categories, brands and tracking fields.
Integrations
⚠️ ShipStation — rebuilt
The ShipStation integration has been rebuilt. The connection works the same way — a Username, Password and URL you paste into ShipStation as a Custom Store — but the screen around it is new: copy buttons on every credential, a status line telling you whether ShipStation has connected, and a Logs tab so you can see why a shipment did not arrive instead of guessing.
If you already use ShipStation, check your connection. Go to Settings → Add-Ons → Integrations → ShipStation and look at the status at the top.

created

Still to come this year
The rebuild is not quite finished. Four more pieces land before the year is out:
Manufacturing — redesigned, bringing it in line with the rest of the product
Dashboards — new
Permissions — a rebuilt module, so you can control who sees and does what with more precision
Imports — brand new import tools
Plus the smaller things that come with them.
And the documentation
The help centre has been rewritten alongside the product. Roughly 60 new and rewritten articles covering purchasing, receiving, shipping, drop shipping, reordering, returns and inventory costing — each one written against the screens as they are today.
