Short description

We've launched a new feature in the Kanpla Admin homescreen tool, a shortcuts builder, allowing caterers to easily set up direct links to the app's most pertinent features and workflows for their users. This update also includes enhancements to the user interface and user experience for all standard system actions initiated by the shortcuts.

Why does it matter

The Kanpla app should be part of a users daily workflow, whether they are using it in the office or at home for a child. This feature aims to reduce time to task and percived effort for key jobs to be done, such as topping up your balance, accessing support or checking your order history by reducing the number of clicks required by up to 75%.

What’s new?

  • Balance Shortcut: with improved auto top-up UX and copy

  • Orders Shortcut: Keepiung the same component for now, with improvements coming in the future

  • Support Shortcut: Creating a clear decision for users between technical and food related support in simple more “human” language

  • QR Code Shortcut: Smoother loading and an improved UI

  • Module Shortcut: A new feature which takes the module icon with a custom name
