EasyTRC Version 2.9 Goes Live. New 3.0 Design in the Works. Want a Peek?

First and foremost, we’re excited to share that the number of chambers of commerce using EasyTRC has quadrupled so far this year!

Version 2.9 Released

It's now very easy to hide the campaign total so you can keep it a secret for the "big reveal"

We’re also happy to announce that several new features and tweaks have been made to the system in the past few months. Here are some highlights of 2.9 build 21725
1)    The most requested item is the ability to HIDE THE CAMPAIGN TOTAL from salespeople when you get near the end of your campaign. This option can be found in the CAMPAIGNS area on the Admin side.
2)    We’ve moved the menu in the admin area to the left hand side – this gets rid of the issues some people were having in the reports section.
3)    We’ve added a “weekly sales report” to help get an accurate account of sales.
4)    We added division goals to the system.
5)    You can now send an initial email blast to all users at the beginning of your campaign that tells them their username and provides a link for them to change their password
6)    LOTS of speed improvements. Need more? Let us know.
7)    A bug in an update of Internet  Explorer 9 broke sales splitting, so we fixed it.
8)    Admin Area: User can now search for contracts using more fields including number, status, buyer, salesperson, and product name
9)    Selling a new membership is now ridiculously easier
10)  Added a new contract status: PENDING PAYMENT

Plus, you can display it with the styling that comes with EasyTRC or a “skinnable” version that just exports the data and takes on any styling you wish to use. This “skinnable” version means that EasyTRC now allows you to embed your Total Resource Campaign leaderboard directly into your Chamber’s website or your TRC campaign website.

You can provide links to specific weeks or the very latest leaderboard.

How Do I Do This?

Load up the leaderboard in your browser. Now just add “&public=skinnable” to the end of the web address. This is the link you can include anywhere.

To point people to a specific week’s leaderboard example: http://demo.easytrc.com/2010-trc-2/campaign-leaderboard?id=17&public=skinnable .

To point people to the latest week’s leaderboard, just drop off the “id=” part. So the address becomes: http://demo.easytrc.com/2010-trc-2/campaign-leaderboard?public=skinnable

This works great for WordPress pages!

What is changed in v2.6.2?

Example of the new split sale highlighting feature in the  Salesperson Incentive and Sales Credit report
Example of the new split sale highlighting feature in the Salesperson Incentive and Sales Credit report

We found an issue in the Leaderboard that we’ve fixed. Previously, the Top Individual producers in the campaign to date section was reporting an incorrect number of contracts and sales credit. Sorry about that.

Additionally, we’ve added row coloring to the Salesperson Incentive and Sales Credit Report so you can more easily see reports that have a split sales credit.

v2.6 is Now Live

You may have noticed some improvements to the system lately. We just wanted to detail them here. We hope this helps and thank you for using EasyTRC!

One of the most important things is a naming standardization across the site which is most obvious on the “My Sales” tab.

TERMINOLOGY NOTES

  • Sale Credit counts towards Team Goal and counts on the Leaderboard;
  • Incentive Credit counts towards Incentive Awards;
  • Contract Total counts towards campaign total and specific campaign goals. This is the amount shown to the buyer and is used on the contract.

v2.6 Improvements

  1. A campaign summary is now directly on the login page. Page features a much bigger campaign graphic too; you worked hard on that logo – now EasyTRC shows it off. Example: http://demo.easytrc.com/login
  2. The “My Sales” tab now has a box on the top that lets you view the “My Sales” tab of sales and incentive level progress of other people. If you login as an admin, you can see anyone’s info. If you login as a team leader, you can view all the members of your team. [User Requested Improvement]
  3. New Reports – these are available on the Reports tab and in the Reporting section on the admin side.  Salespeople are now able see some of these reports directly in the Reports tab. [User Requested Improvement]
  4. More contract details included on the status update emails including the product being purchased, the authorized buyer’s contact info, the buyer’s company name, and more. [User Requested Improvement]
  5. Search screen simplified. There used to be 2 search boxes – one for text and one for product number. We noticed people were putting text in the product number search and crashing it. Nobody was searching by product number anyhoo, so we removed the boxed. [User Requested Improvement]
  6. Leaderboard team summary totals were misreporting sales [Bug Fix]

Previous improvements we didn’t announce:

v2.5.19 Improvements

  1. Major optimization of the Pending Payments section of the admin.  [Performance Improvement]
  2. Clicking on some table column titles to sort by that column was sometimes crashing. [Bug Fix]

v2.5.18

  1. New report that shows the history of incentive payments already made.  This is also displayed at the bottom of the pending payments section now. [User Requested Feature Addition]

v2.5.17

  1. My sales now helps with important TRC terminology and concepts. [User Requested Improvement]
  2. My sales now includes additional sales and incentive totals to make it easier to understand a salesperson’s progress at a glance. [User Requested Improvement]
  3. The campaign leaderboard has received numerous updates to make it consistent and easier to understand. [User Requested Improvement]
  4. There are numerous improvements to the contract editing tools available to campaign administrators, which make important Total Resource Campaign concepts easier to understand and automatically assign appropriate amounts of sales and incentive credit in common cases. [User Requested Improvement]
  5. Contracts can be viewed online by the buyer without having to login. However, they were able to see all the contract status messages and sales split information. They don’t need to see that info, so we hid it. In other words, The contract display intended for unauthenticated use by people purchasing products from the system has been streamlined so that it doesn’t include information relevant only to chamber staff and campaign volunteers. [User Requested Improvement]
  6. A new report has been added that makes it easy to find contracts where the total amount on the contract is not equal to the amount of sales credit assigned to salespeople. [Admin Improvement]
