Appliance.io Updates & Improvements (December 15th, 2025)


πŸ“’ SEO Settings Update β€” Meta Keywords Column Removal

We would like to inform you that the Meta Keywords columnΒ will beΒ removed from theΒ SEO settings across the platform.

As modern search engines no longer use meta keywords for ranking, this update helps reduce confusion, eliminate unnecessary effort, and align our SEO tools with current best practices. The result is a cleaner, more reliable, and more trustworthy SEO interface.

✨ Feature Update

🏬 Location Settings – Assign Warehouses to Locations

Locations can now be explicitly linked to one or more assigned warehouses, ensuring orders only pull inventory from the correct locations. Admins can manage these assignments directly in Location Settings, preventing cross-location inventory mix-ups, improving reporting accuracy, and enforcing clear fulfillment rules like β€œthis store pulls only from this warehouse.”

πŸ”„ Brand Cleanup – Merge Parts Brands into Main Brands (Phase 2: GE)

All SKUs from β€œParts” brands (Phase 2: GE) are being migrated into their main brand counterparts to remove duplication and align AIO with the updated Skulytics hierarchy, preserving all product data and ensuring cleaner, unified brand organization.

πŸ“£ Marketing Settings – Customizable β€œHow Did You Hear About Us?” Options

A new Marketing Settings tab lets admins fully customize the β€œHow did you hear about us?” dropdown by adding, reordering, archiving, and restoring lead sources. Each lead source can include up to three conditional custom fields that appear dynamically during customer creation, improving lead attribution without losing historical data.

🚚 Website ETA – Standardized DMI & ADC Display Logic

Delivery ETAs for DMI and ADC products are now shown using a single exact-date format for consistency. When a product has never been sold by DMI or ADC, its stock data is ignored entirely, ensuring ETAs fall back correctly to the company’s own warehouse rules.


πŸ“Š Data Update

✨ Data Improvements

Brand Merge Update for GE Parts

We’ve merged all GE Parts SKUs into the main GE brand. This update removes the separate GE Parts brand and ensures a cleaner, more consistent brand structure across Skulytics.

Syncing System Reliability & Performance Improvement

We’ve redesigned the syncing system to improve speed, stability, and reliability, ensuring product data and images/documents stay accurate and up to date. The syncing process is now centralized and optimized to reduce delays and prevent disruptions to other processes.

Brand Scraping Reliability & Monitoring Improvement

We’ve enhanced the brand scraping system to improve reliability, visibility, and automatic issue detection across supported brands. This update introduces improved scheduling, execution-time tracking, health checks, and automated alerts to quickly identify scraping failures and missing data, providing better transparency and faster response when issues occur.

Product Link Accuracy Fix

Product links for the listed brands have been cleaned and validated across scraping and live systems. This update removes outdated or mismatched URLs and ensures each SKU now correctly points to its official product page.Β 

Category Specs Standardized:

Specifications across selected categories have been standardized using AJM as the reference model, with AI-assisted.

Filter Coverage Improvement (Whirlpool)

We’ve improved filter coverage for Whirlpool products through an enhanced process to ensure accuracy and consistency. Filters are now more complete and reliable across Whirlpool listings, making it easier to find and compare products.

Appliance.io Updates & Improvements (November 17th, 2025)


πŸ“’Update: Home Depot Pricing Data Issue

We are notifying you of a recent issue impacting Home Depot pricing data within Skulytics.
Home Depot has added new website protections, which currently prevent us from retrieving their pricing in real time. As a result, Skulytics temporarily sets the price to $0 until updated data is available.

Actions Taken by Skulytics
We’re also actively working on retrieving LAP and LCP data from Home Depot again. We will keep exploring every possible solution.
No action is required on your end.

✨ Feature Update

πŸ“¦ CSV Import – Smarter Model # Recognition

CSV imports for Inventory and Brand Cost now use the same smart recognition logic as Bulk Scan In. The system automatically cleans and normalizes scanned model numbers (extra characters, spaces, separators, scanner artifacts) before validation. Recognized models show a green check (βœ…), while unrecognized ones keep the existing warning (⚠️). This reduces failed imports and cuts down manual cleanup.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about CSV Import.

πŸ“† Website Delivery ETA – Show Exact Dates

The website now displays precise delivery dates such as β€œEstimated Delivery Thu, Oct 30” instead of vague ranges like β€œ5–10 days,” giving customers clearer expectations across both DMI and ADC sites.

πŸ›οΈ Marketing Feed – Automated Product Data Feed (JSON)

Stores with an active e-commerce website now receive a daily-updating JSON product data feed that integrates directly with marketing tools, eliminating manual exports and ensuring accurate, real-time product information. A new Data Feed integration card shows the secure URL, last updated time, and a preview example.

πŸ“… Purchase Orders – Needed By Date Range Filter

The Requested PO page now includes a date range picker, allowing users to filter purchase orders by a specific week or month for clearer planning and prioritization, while still keeping existing quick filters for convenience.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about Purchase Order.

πŸ› οΈ Purchase Orders – Bulk Edit Requested Date

Users can now select multiple PO items and update all their Requested Dates in one action, complete with a confirmation step and success summary, removing the need to edit items individually.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about Purchase Order.

🏬 Multi-Warehouse – Unified Website & Platform Logic

Warehouse selection and inventory behavior are now consistent across the website and platform, showing stock from the nearest warehouse, updating ETAs immediately when addresses change, and following unified reassignment rules to create a predictable and transparent experience for both staff and customers.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about Warehouse.

πŸ’² Product Pricing – Suggested Price Rule Guidance

The Edit Price Rule modal now displays a contextual β€œSuggested Rule” banner that indicates whether a brand uses MSRP, MAP, or UMRP pricing, helping users configure pricing correctly without needing additional support.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about Product Pricing.

πŸ›‘οΈ CPS Protection Plans – Filter by Product Category

Protection plans can now be assigned to specific categories such as Appliances, Furniture, or Electronics, ensuring only relevant plans appear in POS and on the website, supported by new fields for category and brand in the Protection Plan settings.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about Protection Plans.

🚚 Order Page – Reschedule Deliveries While In-Transit

Orders marked as In-Transit can now be rescheduled immediately through single or bulk actions right from the Order Page, removing delays and improving communication, with drivers receiving automatic in-app notifications if an active stop gets rescheduled.
πŸ‘‰ Click here to learn more about Orders.

πŸ’³ Payments – Add Custom Payment Methods

You can now create your own custom payment methods directly in Settings β†’ Payments β†’ Payment Methods, allowing you to record payments that don’t fit standard tender types. Admins can add a custom method name, description, an icon, and up to three optional custom field labels such as β€œReference #” or β€œAccount ID.” These methods appear only in the POS payment modalβ€”never in online checkoutβ€”and include the standard Date and Amount fields plus any custom fields defined. All custom payment methods save as their own tender types in reporting, giving you clean, accurate reconciliation without workarounds or manual adjustments.
