Week of August 17, 2026

Project rows in Planning now carry real numbers: progress, hours logged against hours planned, how far ahead or behind schedule, and a bar drawing the actual against the plan so a slip reads as a shape rather than only a figure. That is the piece that makes it possible to look at one large order and decide whether to break it up. It is being enabled per organisation, so ask if you want it on.

Two fixes worth a look if they sound familiar. Clocking a crew out now stamps each session's end at the clock-out time, matching the attendance record beside it. And the date filter in Timesheets → Sessions applies when you set it.

Also: a team can name more than one lead, editing a route inline in Planning offers that row's own department, QR scans from the wrong department explain themselves, the support chat is being replaced one organisation at a time, and a couple of layout fixes tidied up drawers and the form page.

Project rows show progress, hours, and plan against actual

New · Planning

Grouping Planning by project now puts numbers on the project row: a progress bar, the percentage done, and hours logged against hours planned, with a tick showing where the schedule says you should be today. Hovering it opens the detail, how far ahead or behind schedule the project is in man hours and how many hours are left. It covers the whole project, including rows your current filters are hiding.

The chart beside it draws the same thing as a shape. A planned window with the actual against it, so a project that is slipping overruns its planned box rather than only reading as a number. A project still running keeps an open-ended bar rather than looking finished.

Working out where a project stood used to mean opening its orders one at a time and adding them up. This is what makes it possible to look at one large order and decide whether to break it into smaller ones.

It is being enabled per organisation, so ask if you want it turned on.

A session ends when the worker clocked out

Maintenance · Timesheets · Attendance

Clocking a crew out stamps each work session's end at the clock-out time, matching the attendance record beside it.

The Sessions date filter applies when you set it

Maintenance · Timesheets

Setting a date range in Timesheets → Sessions narrows the list to that range, so you can read and export across weeks in one go.

Before this the range could revert to the pay cycle as the filter drawer closed. Both the current and the previous Sessions view are fixed.

Route picker offers your department's routes

Maintenance · Planning · Routes

Editing a route inline in the Planning table offers routes from that row's own department, matching what the drawer has always done.

Before this the list included other departments' routes, and picking one moved the work out of your team's view. Rows that belong to no single department, like an order spanning several, still show everything.

A team can have more than one lead

New · Settings

A team can name several leads instead of one, so a crew answering to more than one foreman can be set up as it actually works.

The workaround before this was a second team holding the same workers, which does not hold: a worker belongs to one team, so moving them into the second takes them out of the first. The practical cost was leads scrolling the whole worker list to assign anything, because the shortcut to their own crew only worked for whoever held the single lead slot.

Every existing lead is carried over, so nothing needs setting up again.

A QR scan from the wrong department says so

Maintenance · Build · Mobile

Every rejected QR scan on Build now explains itself: not recognised, archived, or belonging to another department. Work from another department is refused rather than partly accepted.

Before this, a cross-department scan gave no message. An order that spans departments stays scannable everywhere. The scanner also fits the screen properly on desktop and on a phone.

A new support chat

Improved · Settings

The help button now opens a new support chat, with the bubble in the same corner you are used to.

You are recognised when it opens, so you do not have to introduce yourself or say which shop you are from before asking anything. Your history moves with you, and past conversations are where you left them.

This is arriving one organisation at a time rather than all at once.
