Changelog

A new page — in preview — that turns twelve months of purchasing history into a concrete negotiation plan.

• Identified potential, three assumptions — prudent (back to the median price), realistic (increases above 3% challenged), optimistic (price fixed at the best paid price), each shown in value and as a share of your audited purchases.
• A working list that ends in signatures — top suppliers and top 250 products ranked by overcost, with a negotiation status, an owner and a target price per product; “ignore” a line when the increase is justified.
• Savings achieved, verified monthly — once a negotiated price is fixed, green/red monthly bars track the real gains; red means the supplier is drifting again.
• Saved views, category filters & comments — private or shared views, fine-grained category inclusion/exclusion, and a comment thread on every product line.

The Price Trends widget was rebuilt around one question: how much is this actually costing us?

• Overpaid, in value — products are now ranked by cumulative extra cost over the period, not just by percentage, and the widget shows the total at a glance.
• A lookback window — compare today’s price to the price 3, 6, 12 or 24 months back, with the real dates of both prices in the tooltips.
• Price per kilo where it belongs — a per-product price basis neutralises packaging switches that used to masquerade as +500% spikes.
• Pin a category — or a Cost Control view — every widget instance can follow its own category or a saved Cost Control view, and “See all increases” jumps straight into the full report.

Watching prices shouldn’t require logging in. Email reports send your dashboard widgets on your schedule — and you compose the email as the email.

• Widget sections, mirrored from your dashboards — price spikes, price trends, unauthorized origins, fixed-price gaps, non-recommended suppliers; drag to reorder, size each section.
• A live preview on your real data — the editor renders the actual email, and “Send me a test” delivers it to you right now.
• Scheduled and considerate — frequency, day and hour, team recipients with self-service unsubscribe, and “only send when there is something new”.
• Deep links — every section links back to the exact widget on the exact period, highlighted on arrival.

A polish pass across the app.

• Supplier drawer: Products and Orders tabs — a supplier’s orders are now one tab away from its products, searchable, and each row opens the delivery note.
• The Products page loads faster — fewer requests and smarter caching on the heaviest page of the app.
• Five languages, no gaps — about 270 missing interface translations were filled in across English, French, Spanish, German and Arabic.

A batch of upgrades for the people who run the account.

• Invite, re-invite, import — resend invitations to teammates who never signed in (one by one or in bulk), import users from an Excel template, and manage permission groups.
• Delete an entity without losing history — an impact report lists everything attached first (documents, order lines, users, import rules…); when data is attached, deletion becomes an explicit merge into the entity you choose. Nothing is lost.
• Know your usage — a new Usage tab shows the pages scanned this calendar year against your plan’s quota.

Purchasing policies only work if the tool enforces them. Two guardrails now live on the supplier sheet.

• Allowed origins — tick the origins a supplier may deliver; any delivery imported from outside the list is flagged in a dedicated “unauthorized origins” dashboard widget.
• Non-recommended suppliers — flag a supplier you are phasing out; a dashboard widget lists the orders still being placed with them, with amounts and last order date.
• Neutral by default — both guardrails are opt-in, supplier by supplier; nothing changes until you set them.

Eqolux already knows your purchasing costs. Feed it your revenue and it watches the number every F&B director runs on. Rolling out in beta, enabled on request.

• Monthly revenue entry per entity — a flat, fast input list; groups roll up automatically.
• Ratio by property and for the group — scope it with the header’s entity checkboxes, pick any period; partially covered months are prorated.
• A six-month trend — see the ratio drift before it becomes a quarter problem.
• Dashboard widgets — revenue over the period and a per-property breakdown, scoped like the rest of your dashboard.

When the same document arrives scanned across several pages — or two documents get stitched into one — you can now repair it without leaving Eqolux.

• Merge / split mode on document duplicates, so multi-page scans become a single clean document.
• Plan preview with thumbnail zoom — see exactly what will be kept, merged or split before you commit.
• Part of the new Anomalies V2 workspaces, at both the invoice and line level (V1 has been retired).

International groups share one category taxonomy — but not one language. Now they don’t have to.

• Translated display: every user sees category names in their own interface language.
• Name & translation editor: manage a category’s canonical name and its translations from one place.

Julia, the built-in AI data analyst, becomes something you can actually hand around.

• Exportable artefacts — the charts and tables Julia builds from your data can be exported and reused.
• Message authorship — every message and comment now shows who (or what) wrote it, so a thread stays readable.
• Answers link straight to the underlying products, suppliers and documents.

The Reports page grew up into a proper analysis tool.

• Multi-entity filter — combine several properties (or your whole group) in one report.
• Selectable period with monthly detail: quantity, number of orders and unit price, month by month.
• One-click Excel export of the full table.
• A dedicated app header (points of sale + global period) and a table options bar to shape the view.

Two quality-of-life upgrades for the daily document routine.

• Bulk approval: select several delivery notes on the Latest tab and approve them in one action.
• Credit notes shown as negatives across product views, so line totals and supplier totals finally read the way your accountant expects.

Delivery notes and invoices are now much easier to check against their source.

• Reader ↔ original PDF toggle — flip between Eqolux’s clean extraction and the raw document instantly.
• Locate & highlight a line on the PDF from the extracted data.
• Multi-number editing — BL, invoice, credit-note and order numbers stored as arrays, editable together.
• Credit notes (avoirs) now display in negative, so totals reflect reality.

Anomaly review becomes a real workflow instead of a to-do list.

• Grouped actions — fix or dismiss dozens of anomalies at once.
• Risk score to triage what actually matters first.
• Rule-based detection: unit price vs default price, inconsistent totals, suspicious kg quantities, missing document discounts, and more.
• Impact preview before applying — and the option to apply a rule retroactively.
• URL-persisted filters so your view survives a refresh.

Purchasing decisions now have a place to happen — right next to the data.

• Universal comments on documents, products and suppliers, labelled with supplier, invoice date and amount for context.
• @mentions that trigger a localized email notification (via Postmark).
• A new sidebar with Home / Julia / Inbox tabs, gathering comment mentions and your Julia history in one place.

The whole app got a coherence pass.

• New UI primitives — buttons, inputs, toggles, menus and tokens, aligned to a modern component library.
• Redesigned data grids (ag-Grid v33 theming) — the tables you live in are crisper and quicker.
• A shared component gallery keeps every screen visually consistent.

Dashboards are now yours to shape and share.

• Save & name as many dashboards as you like, and switch between them from the sidebar.
• Drag & drop, resize widgets on a customizable grid, with layouts remembered per scope.
• Shareable URL for any board, and an organisation default the owner can set.
• Layout auto-saves — the Save button is gone.

The add-widget gallery got a serious upgrade.

• World map of origins and top products by origin — see where your food actually comes from.
• Seasonality widget and a products seasonality column.
• Price spikes (period-independent, ±50% two-sided filter) and fixed-price gaps to catch drift fast.
• Top tags with clickable tags and product counts.

Negotiated a price? Hold your suppliers to it.

• Supplier fixed prices — enter them in the drawer, review and edit them inline on the supplier profile.
• A rules engine compares each imported line against the fixed price and raises an anomaly when it drifts.
• Impact preview at rule creation and create-and-apply retroactively across past documents.
• Comparison-period data added to the supplier drawer.

Messy supplier data gets cleaned up as it lands.

• Duplicate products review tab with a match score and merge decisions (same product / to review / distinct).
• Delivery-note duplicate detection with a merge mode.
• Configurable dedup rules and server-side decisions, so cleanup scales.
• A new Anomalies tab with rules, filters, grouping and side-effect previews.

Sustainability now has its own home in Eqolux.

• New Impact menu with three sub-pages: Food & Beverage, Energy & Water and Waste.
• Carbon footprint estimated from your products via Agribalyse integration.
• Localized in 5 languages, with sample data so the story is clear from day one.

Stop re-arranging the same columns every morning.

• Save your column layout on any grid — order, width, visibility.
• Personal or shared: keep a view for yourself, or save it for the whole organisation.
• Your date range is remembered between visits, and a one-click reset brings back the defaults.

Purchasing across borders no longer means mental math.

• User-selectable display currency applied across dashboards, drawers and reports.
• Year-end rebates respect the chosen display currency too.
• Pairs with saved column layouts and auto-saved date ranges, so your working view stays put.

Tags are how you fold your own knowledge into the data — organic, local, contract, to-review. They just became first-class citizens.

• Colour-coded pills so a glance is enough to read a grid row.
• Quick picker: add or create a tag from anywhere, in two clicks.
• Tag filters in every grid, plus quick actions on supplier profiles.
• Tags display exactly as you wrote them — no forced capitalisation.

Two building blocks for a full purchasing loop.

• Orders page with a purchase-order creation drawer — pick a supplier, add lines, send.
• Structured importation rules with an AND/OR builder, so document parsing follows your logic.
• Rules tab on the Importations page with an editable drawer, localized end to end.

For hotel and restaurant groups, “which sites am I looking at?” is the first question on every screen. The selector now answers it properly.

• Multi-select: combine any set of entities — a whole brand, one country, or a single site.
• Search with auto-expansion: type a name and the matching branches open themselves.
• Clearer hierarchy, with initials badges for every site and collapsed groups by default.

Year-end rebates (RFA) are real money — and usually tracked in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. Not anymore.

• One agreement per supplier, with its tiered thresholds and rates.
• Live progress: your purchase volume against each tier, updated as invoices come in.
• Amounts due computed to the cent, ready for the year-end negotiation.

Purchasing data is sensitive — who sees what should be easy to control.

• Permission groups: define a set of rights once, assign it to many users.
• Per-site access: each role sees exactly the entities and data it should.
• A redesigned users area in Settings: invite, assign and update your team in bulk.

The Products area — where most purchasing questions start — received continuous improvements throughout March.

• A richer product drawer, with more context around each product and its orders.
• Clearer price information across the grid and charts.
• General polish: smoother navigation, fresher data and many small fixes.

Your purchasing data already knows what every dish costs — now it tells you what your menu earns.

• Recipe builder connected to your real purchase prices, ingredient by ingredient.
• Menu engineering dashboard: dishes plotted by cost and performance, so stars and low performers stand out immediately.
• Spot the dishes that deserve a price change, a rework — or a bigger spot on the menu.

Purchasing categories are the backbone of your analytics — they now look the part.

• Pick an icon and a colour for every category, from a curated icon library.
• Your choices carry through everywhere: dashboards, filters, product grids and drawers.

Getting started with Eqolux is now a guided experience — and signing in fits your company’s security setup.

• Three-step onboarding walks every new account through its sites, suppliers and first data imports.
• Single sign-on (SSO) — sign in with your company identity provider; access stays centralised and secure.
