Public roadmap

What's coming next to Ardent Seller

Ardent Seller is tracking 34 upcoming features across three priority levels — in active development, planned, and under consideration.

Every roadmap item below is pulled from the same feature catalog that drives our features page and competitor comparisons. Items move between Coming soon, Planned, and Under consideration as work progresses — and into the features page once they ship.

Last updated

Coming soon (1)

Active development — we expect these to ship within the next release cycle. Designs are in hand and at least part of the work is on the branch.

Customers & Vendors

·1 item

Customer Purchase History & Insights

Coming soon

See what each customer has bought, how often they order, and which products they love most — helping you build stronger relationships and personalize your service.

Planned scope: Automatic calculation of customer lifetime value (CLV) and average order value (AOV); identify VIP customers and repeat buyers; see purchase frequency trends

Planned (6)

Committed and on the roadmap. Scope and design are mostly settled, but coding work has not started or is still early. Timing depends on what's already in flight.

Recipes & Production

·2 items

Product Disassembly

Planned

Recover ingredients from unsold inventory — break down overstock, seasonal items, or discontinued products to reclaim components for new uses.

Planned scope: Reverse production transactions for unsold finished goods; recover full or partial component quantities back to inventory

Production Scheduling

Planned

Stay on top of orders with scheduled production runs that ensure you have the right products ready at the right time without overproducing.

Planned scope: Calendar-based scheduling shows what to make and when. Identify missing ingredients before you start a batch — no more discovering you're out of vanilla mid-recipe

Customers & Vendors

·1 item

Vendor Price History

Planned

See how vendor prices have changed over time to spot trends, forecast future costs, and strengthen your negotiating position.

Planned scope: Wholesale orders automatically imported with retailer details; inventory synced to prevent selling wholesale stock you don't have

Shopify Integration

Planned

Link your Shopify store to automatically import sales, customer data, and sync inventory levels across both platforms.

Planned

Protect your account with an extra security layer requiring a verification code from your phone in addition to your password.

Planned scope: Supports authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy); optional or required enforcement per account; backup codes for recovery

Under consideration (27)

On our radar but not yet committed. We're collecting demand, validating the design, and weighing it against everything else. Customer feedback moves things up this list.

Know Your True Costs

Planned scope: Pricing recommendations based on costs, margins, and competitive positioning. Compare scenarios and identify margin leaders across sales channels

Track Everything You Make & Sell

·2 items

Custom Fields

Considering

Track business-specific attributes across your entire operation — inventory details like scent profiles and color finishes, customer preferences like allergen restrictions and favorite flavors, vendor lead times, and more. Filter and organize based on what matters to your unique business.

Planned scope: Define custom fields for inventory (each category can have unique fields), customers (preferences, tags like "Local"/"Wholesale"), and vendors (certifications, specialties). Filter lists by custom field values; structured fields for common needs

Labels & Tags

Considering

Organize items across categories with flexible tags: mark seasonal items, bestsellers, promotional products, or supplier-specific inventory. Apply multiple tags to create cross-cutting organization systems that standard categories can't provide.

Planned scope: Apply color-coded tags to inventory, transactions, and procedures. Filter by single or multiple tags simultaneously. Create and manage unlimited tags across all data types

Recipes & Production

·1 item

Reduce costs without sacrificing quality with AI-powered ingredient suggestions — find substitutions when materials run low or prices spike, while maintaining your product standards.

Planned scope: Smart alternatives based on inventory levels and pricing; respects allergen and dietary constraints; baker's percentage awareness

Sell Anywhere

·1 item

Order Boards

Considering

Visualize work in progress on drag-and-drop boards — manage purchase orders, production runs, and sales orders by moving cards through your custom workflow stages.

Customers & Vendors

·4 items

Customer Groups & Segmentation

Considering

Planned scope: Track customer acquisition sources and run reports on customer count and revenue by source for marketing ROI analysis

Payment Terms & Credit Management

Considering

Manage wholesale customer credit limits and payment terms (net 30/60/90) while monitoring outstanding balances for better cash flow control.

Planned scope: Set payment terms for wholesale accounts (like local boutiques or gift shops). Track who owes you money and for how long — helpful when shops pay on consignment or after selling your products

Vendor Lead Times & Minimums

Considering

Know how long each vendor takes to deliver and their minimum order requirements — so you can plan purchases and avoid stockouts.

Planned scope: Set default lead time per vendor (e.g., "5 business days"); specify minimum order quantities (MOQ) and preferred batch sizes; system factors lead times into reorder alerts

How this roadmap works

A short, honest read so you know what to expect.

Where does this list come from?

Every item on this page is drawn from the same feature catalog that powers our pricing, features, and competitor comparison pages. When an item ships, its status flips from "Coming soon" to "Included" and it leaves this page automatically. Nothing here is hand-curated marketing copy — it is the live engineering backlog as we are willing to share it.

What do the three statuses mean?

"Coming soon" means active development — designs are in hand and code is in flight. "Planned" means committed work that has not yet started or is very early. "Under consideration" means we are still validating the design and weighing it against everything else; it is the bucket most influenced by customer feedback.

When will a specific item ship?

We do not publish target dates on individual items because every honest roadmap that ships dates ends up apologising for them. The order within each bucket roughly reflects priority, and items move up the list when paying customers ask for them.

How do I influence what's prioritised?

The single most effective thing you can do is tell us via the contact form which item is blocking you and why. We weight requests from active customers heavily — both flat-rate and pay-as-you-go — and we re-rank "Under consideration" every release cycle.

Will roadmap features cost extra when they ship?

No. Ardent Seller ships every feature on every plan, including the free plan. That commitment applies to roadmap items too — when a feature graduates from this page to the live product, it is available on every tier (subject only to the same plan-level limits on transactions, users, locations, and storage that already apply today).

Why are some integrations only "under consideration"?

Marketplace connectors are expensive to build and maintain. We promote them up the roadmap based on the size of the audience that asks for them and on each marketplace's API quality. See the cards above for the current status of each connector — they move up the list when we hear consistent demand.

Tell us what to build next

Customer feedback is the single biggest driver of what moves from considering to planned to coming soon. If a missing feature is blocking you — or you have a sharper version of one of the items above — let us know.
