New release: Marello 3

We are excited to announce a brand new release: Marello 3! Along with many new powerful features, this new release includes a new version of the OroPlatform, making it even more future-ready.

New Features in Marello 3

Marello 3 includes powerful new tools to help businesses fuel their success, including new inventory capabilities and automatic PDF creation.

Inventory Batches

Marello 3 now supports working with inventory batches. Inventory batches represent a number of inventory items that are received on a specific date. For purposes of inventory strategies such as LIFO or FIFO, or for keeping track of expiry dates, a batch record is created for every new purchase order. By defining rules in workflows, Marello calculates with inventory items should be used for the fulfillment of incoming orders. The available quantity of a batch is tracked as items are added or removed in real-time. After the available quantity reaches zero or reaches the expiration date, the batch is retired. Read more about this new feature in our blog about inventory batches.

Inventory Batch Management in multiple warehouses — Set inventory batches for multiple warehouses.

Inventory batches with an expiry date — Set batches and assign expiry dates.

PDF Generator

The new PDF generator enables the easy creation of invoices and credit memos. Create separate branding for your sales channels, and include sending PDFs to customers as an automated step in your order workflows. Marello 3 fills in the right information at the right place and sets the language and formatting according to the locale of the channel the PDF is created for. The new PDF generator avoids manual work, saves time and ensures a great user experience.
