Scheduling of "go live" processes

When we have product launches, sales events etc it would be really useful to be able to schedule:
- Product "go live" time
- Banner "go live" time
There is already a Canny request for banners so this request is only really to highlight the need for scheduling of products. Brand launches are getting more and more structured and a lot of the time have a specific launch time. This could be midnight, Saturday lunch time etc, these times are not always convenient for our team to be ready at their desks.
This feature would therefore go hand in hand with Banners for product launches and sale events like Black Friday.

These are seperate Canny's for each of these and I'll looking at our roadmap for the rest of the year now our checkout is nearing completion. Both of these are on my list to explore,

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime Great. Please can it handle the ability to set items in a colour group before being activated. This is a part of launch days that adds to the pain of not being able to schedule. So if we have an 8am launch not only do the team need to activate as many as a 100+ items around that time they also have to wait until then to add items in to colour groups which slows down the process of activating items. Then add in changing banners etc and the whole process gets quite overwhelming (and you can get in trouble with a brand for launching too early!).

Ben This is on the list already, I'm creating a roadmap for the rest of this year. You'll be pleased to know that overhauling collections is on the horizon as well.

We have plans to allow Banners to be scheduled, we have major investments coming for the ecommerce frontend it 2025 and this is part of this piece of work.
We have no plans to allow the scheduled launch time on specific products, but this is however a cool idea, I shall think on that one as I cannot see a simple way to make this work effectively.

Neil McQuillan - CEO Citrus-Lime: Hi Neil, I also wondered if you had any further thoughts on this? We regularly have products launching on a Saturday, so it can cause a staffing issue with making products live so it would be a really useful tool.

This would be very useful for us as we have product launches that occur worldwide simultaneously.... The issue we are up against is that most of these occur at 9am Tokyo time which is 1am UK time. I'm fed up of staying up till then to make it live :)

I agree, this would be helpful to allow us to be able to plan further ahead.
