PLATFORM UPDATES

Customer Organizations
To expand on Pelcro's CRM functionalities, we're introducing the "Organizations" object. You can use the organization property to store information about businesses and organizations which are tied to your customers. This helps you to upscale tracking all the different organizations you work with, and be able get a sense of industries which are interested in your products and services, so that you can cater to your right markets.

Exporting Products & Plans
You can now export products and plans information directly from the platform in the same way you export other objects to CSV format for all of your business operational and reporting needs.

Deferred Revenue Export
You can now export your deferred revenue balance per customer so that you can show it to the auditor from the Accounting module on the Pelcro platform if you click on the 'Download Total Deferred Revenue' button.

Uncollectible Invoice Status
The 'uncollectible' invoice status is now a terminal state for any given invoice. Meaning that if an invoice's status is 'uncollectible', then it cannot be changed to any other state such as 'void' or 'past due'.
