What changed.

General

• Improved
  Faster home and planners: the production calendar, the technician sheet planner and the vehicle planner make a single request to the server per navigation instead of one per production status; the benefit grows with the number of configured statuses.
• Improved
  The session is renewed automatically when you return to the application after hours of inactivity, for example reopening the laptop in the morning: as long as renewal is possible you are no longer sent back to the login page, and requests that failed because of an expired token are retried on their own.
• Improved
  Opening an item that no longer exists, for example from an old link or after a deletion, shows an explicit message instead of an empty sheet.
• Fixed
  Improved application stability on iPhone after updates.

Warehouse

• Improved
  Adding a unit to a composite product container is much faster: the history of the affected sheets is updated once instead of once per unit already present.
• Fixed
  Fixed saving of some historical product sheets.

Demo environment, synthetic data.

General

• Improved
  A renewed interface with an overall redesign of the application.
• Improved
  Renewed, configurable home widgets that can be shown or hidden.
• Improved
  Business unit support in production statistics, the general sheet and external quotes.
• Improved
  A period can be used as the decimal separator.
• Improved
  Real-time chat with user presence, typing indicators, read receipts and unread-message badges.
• New
  Desktop notifications for new chat messages.
• New
  Company notification center with a bell in the top bar and an unread-notification count.
• New
  Clone a user group and copy permissions from one group to another.
• Improved
  Navigation with contextual breadcrumbs and quick production switching from the sidebar.
• Improved
  Italian and English interface translations completed.
• Improved
  Improved text readability throughout the application in both light and dark themes: colored financial amounts (profit, shares, balance) and captions on financial cards now meet AA contrast, and step titles in wizards (import from production, add technician) are no longer faded.
• New
  When choosing colors for production statuses, tags, note categories and invoice statuses, a traffic-light indicator shows in real time whether the contrast between text and background is poor, medium or good according to the WCAG accessibility standard.
• Improved
  More compact and orderly sheet side menus: closer-set entries and uniform-width icons with aligned labels, across all sheets with side navigation (production, binder, venue, load plans, company vehicle, product sheet, technician, address book, invoice).
• Improved
  Action bars collapse into the "Actions" menu only when space actually runs out.
• Improved
  Removed the legacy AI assistant from chat.
• Improved
  Improved overall stability and reliability throughout the application.
• Improved
  Faster first load of the application.
• Improved
  Tooltips on icon-only buttons: add and delete row in the units table, and the week arrows in the load plan planner.

Warehouse

• New
  Load plans and virtual products.
• New
  New warehouse section (in beta) for consumables, with purchased and recovered lots organized into categories with dedicated prices; bookable from the production Equipment sheet (next to the extra budget), with the same markup percentage as equipment, and costs and margins visible in the financial details.
• New
  Quickly create a brand and category while adding a product sheet, without leaving the page.
• New
  Choose the reference container used to calculate the rate for composite products.
• Improved
  Product-type filter in warehouse product search.
• Improved
  Planner filters are preset in product sheets.
• Improved
  Lighter, faster PDF inventory export.
• Fixed
  Fixed a missing notification during scanning.
• Improved
  Warehouse product search is now tolerant of spaces: the text you type is split into keywords, all searched together across brand, model and short description. This way “Smart Batt G2” also finds the product whose model is “SmartBat PlusG2”.
• Improved
  In equipment booking from a production, sheets no longer in the catalog stay searchable and bookable — they are needed to review and duplicate past jobs — and are now recognizable: a tag with a history icon explains that the sheet appears because it was valid during that job's period.

Productions

• New
  Binder list in the production binder.
• New
  Public notes are now visible to viewer users too.
• New
  Quote-versus-final-statement variance statistics in the production sheet.
• New
  Quickly create a client and venue while adding a production, without leaving the page.
• New
  Manage external quote types and categories independently from production settings, with per-type configurable warehouse category sync and exclusion from the summary.
• New
  In the production sheet menu, a colored dot marks sections that contain at least one item (equipment, stage set blocks, load plans, transport documents, company vehicles, technicians, teams, external quotes): you can see at a glance where something is without opening every section. Notes and attachments show their count in a badge aligned to the right instead of in parentheses in the label.
• New
  New default template for printing quotes and final statements.
• New
  “Fair-style” binders: a non-billable production can be linked, from its financial details, to the billable productions in the same binder with an incidence percentage for each (adding up to 100%). The costs of the non-billable production are split accordingly: linked productions show the share received and profit with the breakdown in a dedicated read-only panel, while in quote statistics and final-statement variance the non-billable productions no longer appear as standalone rows and their shares adjust the margin of the linked productions (in a new dedicated column). Automatic checks prevent invalid links, chains or cycles, and creating the binder's final statement preserves links and billability status.
• Improved
  Product type shown in the load plan.
• Improved
  Bulk scanning with custom quantities in load plans.
• Improved
  Open the venue page directly from the production general sheet.
• Improved
  Production shown in the transport document search table.
• Improved
  Transport document and call times can be set in 30-minute increments or typed from the keyboard.
• Improved
  Venue attachments are also shown in the production attachments tab.
• Improved
  Each external quote type can have its own icon, chosen from the available list and shown in the production and binder side menus.
• Improved
  In the production sheet, other productions in the binder are now selected from a dropdown instead of a second list, leaving more room for sections; horizontal scrolling on the page was also fixed.
• Improved
  The production sheet side menu groups sections by area (sheet, equipment, logistics, staff, external quotes, sales), with a wider column: names are no longer truncated and note and attachment counters only appear when there's something to count.
• Improved
  In client quote statistics, the CSV export is now two-part and complete: “Export Productions CSV” includes every column in the results table (including the optional ones: client, binder, status, dates, days, sections, markup/discount percentage and the calculated-quote indicator), while the new “Export Totals CSV” exports the totals table with details for each section (nominal, markup, commission, total).
• New
  Company vehicle unavailability: recorded from the vehicle sheet planner with a note, shown in the global vehicle planner, and booking a vehicle on an unavailable day shows a warning.
• New
  When duplicating a production, a new option also copies the financial conditions and quotation: sales conditions, the set final price, and markups/discounts.
• Fixed
  Handled transport documents without an associated load plan or binder.
• Fixed
  Fixed note and attachment counters updating in venues.
• Improved
  Binder search by quote number as well: with the reference the client mentions you can find the binder, whether the quote is linked to the binder or to one of its productions. The field is now labelled “Name, code or quote no.”.
• Improved
  The Skill column is now filled in the production summary by date.

Technicians

• New
  Absence presets.
• New
  Meal preferences field in the technician sheet, included in the production summary export.
• Improved
  Filters by active employee rate and technician type in the technician planner.
• Improved
  Production code in technician reports.
• New
  In the technician list the availability signal now also comes from invitation-based team compositions, not just individual requests: you see the status, when the answer arrived (date and time), the declared period and any note, with a warning when the declared period does not cover the day.
• New
  In team composition, when searching for a technician you can see whether they have already been requested for another job in the same period: an “Already requested” tag for everyone and, for those with the dedicated permission, the details with production, customer, requested period, outcome and when the answer arrived.
• Improved
  Technician planner: a command to show or hide unavailable technicians.
• Fixed
  Availability request from the technician list: when no booking has the selected skill, the flow now closes with a clear warning.

Company administration

• New
  Link outgoing invoices to productions.
• New
  Manage non-billable productions with dedicated technician compensation.
• New
  Each invoice category can be marked “Preselected in exports” from settings: marked categories now appear already selected in the filters of export screens (expenses, collections, SDI invoices, extra-SDI and foreign invoices), replacing the previous fixed presets.
• New
  In export filters, a new “Without category” entry finds invoices and payment schedule entries with no category assigned, on its own or combined with other categories.
• New
  Two new invoice-category options in settings: “Accounting only” hides the category (e.g., self-billed invoices and integrations) from the payment schedule, collections and invoice lists; “Estimates category” identifies the one shown in the Estimates view (at most one, the choice moves automatically). Previously these were fixed, non-editable rules.
• New
  An "Exported for accountant" flag on payment schedule entries too, matching invoices: a dedicated search filter, automatic marking on ZIP export, and manual editing from the entry details.
• New
  Business unit breakdown in the Summary: bars comparing the selected and reference years based on production budgets, honouring the selected quarter.
• Improved
  More precise invoice-list sorting.
• Improved
  More precise invoice search in payment-status filters.

Address book

• New
  Preferred contacts: for each person you can mark one preferred entry per type (one phone, one email, …) from the contact dialog; the technician sheet shows a new "Preferred contacts" section with quick phone and email links.
• New
  In the address book, “All records” tab, a new Commercial profiles column with Customer and Supplier tags on each row.

  Defined employee technician rates, for which a daily cost can be entered.

For example, an internal employee technician with a daily employee cost of 100 euros and a client rate of 250 will be counted as 100 euros of cost and 150 euros of profit per day, while an external technician or an employee without a daily employee cost set will be counted as 250 euros of cost.
