This release focuses on two modules that drive daily operations: Manufacturing and Freight. Both receive updates that improve real-time visibility and reduce the friction of common workflows.
Manufacturing Stock Adjustments
Production environments need to track stock as it moves through the manufacturing process. Previously, adjusting quantities required navigating to the Inventory module separately. Now, operators can edit stock directly within a manufacturing task.
When a batch completes or materials are consumed, the adjustment happens inline:
- Select the item to adjust
- Enter the quantity change
- Stock levels update immediately in both the task and inventory records
This keeps production moving without context-switching. Supervisors can also use this to correct discrepancies discovered during quality checks, maintaining accurate stock-on-hand figures throughout the production cycle.
Freight Notes Timeline
Freight jobs often span multiple days and involve different team members—dispatchers booking the job, drivers picking up, warehouse staff loading, and customers receiving. The new notes timeline captures this entire journey with timestamped entries.
Each note shows:
- What happened
- Who recorded it
- When it occurred
This creates a complete audit trail that’s invaluable when resolving delivery disputes or investigating delays. Team members can add notes at any stage, building a collaborative record that persists with the job.
Job Status Indicators
The freight list view now displays prominent status badges on each job. These visual indicators use consistent colours across the application:
- Blue for jobs in transit
- Green for delivered
- Amber for jobs requiring attention
- Red for exceptions or failed deliveries
Dispatchers can scan a list of dozens of jobs and immediately identify which ones need action, rather than clicking into each job to check status.
Mobile Manufacturing UX
Shop floor operators rarely sit at desks. They work from tablets mounted on machines or phones in their pockets. This release refines the manufacturing UI for touch:
- Larger tap targets for buttons and controls
- Streamlined layouts that work on narrow screens
- Reduced scrolling for common operations
The result is a manufacturing interface that feels native on mobile devices, matching how production teams actually work.
Settings Hub Refactor
Behind the scenes, we’ve reorganised the Settings area into a hub-and-spoke model. The main settings screen now acts as a navigation hub, with individual sub-screens for each settings category. This makes it easier to find specific settings and reduces the cognitive load of a single overwhelming settings page.
