Changelog
What we've shipped, and when
Every release, in the open. No quiet feature removals, no vague "performance improvements".
July 2026
3 releasesXero — corrected tax and account mapping
IntegrationPer-line tax now resolves to the right Xero tax type instead of a single default, inclusive and exclusive pricing are both handled, and a pre-flight check blocks a sync before it can post incomplete data to your books.
Invoices pushed to Xero now land in Awaiting Approval rather than posting as approved, so a human reviews before anything hits the ledger.
June 2026
9 releasesShopify integration
IntegrationConnect a Shopify store and stop overselling: stock levels push to Shopify every fifteen minutes, Shopify orders arrive as sales orders, and fulfilment and tracking numbers go back to the store on dispatch. Centra One warehouses map to Shopify locations, so multi-location sellers get the right number in the right place.
Xero sync reliability
IntegrationContacts, invoices and bills push to Xero far more reliably, and a missing mapping now surfaces as a clear, named error instead of failing silently. Xero remains a one-way push from Centra One — pulling changes back from Xero is not live yet, and we will say so here on the day it is.
Centra AI stopped being advice-only. It can draft purchase orders from reorder suggestions, update prices in bulk, raise draft quotes and stock transfers, and chase quote follow-ups — every action gated behind your explicit confirmation and written to an audit trail in Settings.
Sales orders, quotes, invoices and payments rebuilt around status buckets and fulfilment progress, so you can see what is stuck rather than scrolling a flat list. Adds quote pipeline, AR ageing and a sales overview.
The customer list now shows open orders, twelve-month spend, open balance and last order date at a glance, with full sales history on each customer — the questions a rep asks before picking up the phone.
Describe what you are looking for in plain English — "cables under $50 with low stock" — and Centra AI turns it into a filtered product list.
Move stock between warehouses through a draft → dispatched → received workflow with partial receipts and variance tracking, and build kits from components with bills of materials, assembly orders and FEFO-aware kit resolution at dispatch.
Sales Rep, Warehouse Staff, Accounts and Read Only roles with per-user overrides, and cost price and margin visibility gated by role — so you can give the warehouse a login without showing them your buy prices.
Products are classified A/B/C by stock value and counted on a rotating schedule, so inventory stays accurate without shutting the warehouse for a stocktake. Includes manager review of suggestions, a twelve-week accuracy trend and a recurring-variance report.
May 2026
6 releasesQuotes became documents the customer can work with: optional line items they tick on or off, either/or choice groups, and a total that updates live before they accept. Adds quote templates, per-line margin badges and an acceptance-rate dashboard.
Quotes are sent as a branded link and accepted online with no customer login, with view tracking, expiry dates, versioning and an internal approval step before anything goes out. No more PDF attachments and manual chasing.
Purchase orders reorganised into open, received and closed buckets with overdue flagging, plus a purchasing overview showing on-order value and what is due in this week.
Daily reorder suggestions based on projected stock including open POs, scored Critical to Low, grouped by supplier and turned into draft purchase orders with one click. The purchasing manager stops checking stock levels by hand every Monday.
Goods receipt improvements
ImprovedReceipting screens consolidated with discrepancy flagging, so a short delivery is caught at the dock rather than at invoice-matching time.
Product list cut back to the columns that matter, with server-side stock and margin sorting, low-stock filtering, and an overview carrying reorder and stock-value tiles.
April 2026
4 releasesOver twenty automated alerts covering inventory, purchasing, sales, financial and integration health — dead stock, margin erosion, overdue POs, customers going quiet. No configuration, they simply start arriving.
Full traceability from receipt to dispatch: batch lifecycle with quarantine and write-off, FEFO picking suggestions, use-by / best-before / retest expiry types, 7- and 30-day expiry alerts, and a shelf-life check at goods receipt. Serial numbers and warranty tracking ship alongside.
Know what imported stock actually cost you: four landed-cost allocation methods feeding average cost on receipt, multi-currency POs with payment schedules, planned-versus-actual FX variance and a blended rate across multiple payments.
Theme system
ImprovedMultiple visual themes with your preference remembered across sessions and devices.
March 2026
4 releasesThe first production release: products and inventory, purchase orders and goods receipt, sales orders with pick/pack/ship, customers and suppliers, multi-warehouse stock on hand, stocktake with a mobile counting screen, backorders, returns with credit notes, a stock movements ledger and a service desk. Enough to retire the spreadsheets on day one.
Customers place their own orders against their own pricing in a branded portal, with order history and document downloads — launched with the document designer for invoices and quotes.
Xero accounting integration
IntegrationContacts, invoices and bills push from Centra One into Xero so the books stay current without re-keying. Push only — Centra One is the system of record for orders and stock.
Playbook automation for repetitive operational work, and a guided onboarding wizard that gets products, customers and opening stock into the system in an afternoon.
