This release adds support for showing engineers/operatives their annual holiday allocation. The mobile holiday request module is an optional feature introduced earlier in the year, and was originally intended to be a simple “request absence” process. It has since grown and in this release also shows engineers how much holiday they have requested in a year, and how much is left. Before next month’s release we will also back port some additional changes that didn’t quite make it into this release to limit holiday requests to whatever your financial period is to simplify keeping track of holiday allocation in a year.
The other new feature in this release is a supplier communication module. All customers now have access to a process that allows you to send reminders to your suppliers. This builds on similar client facing capabilities to send emails of outstanding invoices and jobs, and allows you to send lists of under delivered orders or un-invoiced orders to suppliers. This will help you chase sub-contractors who can often be slow sending through their invoices. You can create as many supplier communication templates as you want, and we’d be happy to have a chat to talk you through the process if you’ve not looked at communications before.
