New features
We are thrilled to announce the latest update to our software, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing optimisation project. Our dedicated team has been working to enhance the overall system performance, with a keen focus on improving loading times.
Key updates:
-
Dashboard Loading Times: Users will now experience a faster loading time for the default Dashboard in the new design. We've optimised our backend processes and data handling, ensuring that the information you need is available quicker than ever before.
-
Enhanced System Performance: Beyond the Dashboard, this update brings overall improvements to system performance. As well as improving our backend processes, we've also significantly optimised reporting areas to reduce blocking wait times, and enhanced our data handling capabilities to ensure a smoother, more efficient experience across the board.
Whether you're navigating through various screens or processing large data sets, you can expect a noticeable improvement in speed and responsiveness.
Our optimisation project will be continuing throughout March, and we're excited to give you further updates in the March product update.
