New & coming features: February '26 highlights
February '26 across the Slize platform: released self-service and basket-threshold work, plus AI order parsing, expanded service options and the new admin panel in progress.
This is the February '26 view of what shipped and what is close. The themes are consistent: less manual clarification on the way into an order, more discipline on the way out, and more that a customer or a client's own team can do without calling anyone.
All of it is aimed at ERP-connected wholesale environments, where the cost of a transaction and the discipline of a price are operational facts rather than preferences. Nothing here asks you to give up control to get self-service.
Released
Five pieces are live. Three of them make repeat ordering faster; two of them make the commercial rules visible at the moment they apply, rather than in a conversation afterwards.
A basket can be saved with a name and an optional description, then restored into an active order later. Useful for the recurring order that is nearly, but not quite, the same every time.
Products can be marked with a favourite icon and reached again from a dedicated Favourites area in the company account.
Minimum thresholds are now enforced at both line and basket level. Where a minimum is not met the system applies the charge and shows what it would take to avoid it.
Leftover short-length pieces are selectable directly from the product card and can be added to an order as a specific leftover item.
Where the item configuration supports it, a certificate option can be selected on the product, with its identifying fields attached.
One caveat worth stating plainly rather than in a footnote: certificate selection is a paid option, and the scope of certificate preview before purchase is still being confirmed. Treat the preview as under clarification rather than as a committed capability.
Coming soon
Three larger pieces are in progress. Each one takes work that currently happens in an inbox, a phone call or an internal support ticket, and puts it in the product.
A customer's own structured document, typically a PDF, is uploaded, parsed by AI and converted into a working basket. The basket interface has been redesigned around reviewing and correcting that result.
Additional product services have been expanded and restructured, so they can be selected, configured and read clearly in both the product and the basket view.
Work on the admin panel has restarted with a wider goal: make it usable by clients as well as the internal team, focused on self-service diagnostics and visibility.
AI Order is the one that changes a workflow rather than improving a screen. The path from a customer's document to a confirmed order becomes reviewable at every step:
- UploadThe customer's structured document goes into the basket as-is.
- ParseAI extracts line items and matches them to the catalog.
- CorrectAnything unmatched is replaced by search or by a suggested similar item, with the original document alongside for reference.
- Price and placeShadow Mode exposes margin and history, customer-specific rules apply, and the basket becomes an order.
The common thread across the released and the coming work is that automation and control are not traded against each other. The parsing is automatic and the correction is human; the thresholds apply automatically and the reason is on screen; the diagnostics are self-service and the data behind them is the real thing.
