TEAM NEWS

Congratulations to Charlotte, Taylor, Angelique and Lauren who have all passed their probationary period with flying colours. We had no doubts, and we are delighted to have them, and their skills, experience and knowledge in Team CPL.

DEVELOPMENT UPDATES

At the end of February, Blockworx 1.2 went live and it came with one significant improvement…

OCR , otherwise known as Optical Character Recognition, is a bit of functionality that reads documents automatically, so you don’t have to.

This feature will read the details of your pdf invoices and automatically populate the details of the development, invoice number, dates and value.

You can do this for one invoice or for multiple invoices, all in one go.

We’ve been asked for OCR by a number of Blockworx users and it has been high on our list of development priorities for some time, so we’re delighted to be rolling this fantastic time-saving benefit to you!

CPL 3.0 Update

We’re still working on the initial framework but that’s really coming along now. We’re very close to almost having it completed. As we’ve mentioned in the previous updates, our new product is going to be web-based. It’s going to be Cloud hosted, and we’re working on the framework to allow for any users to access their data securely from anywhere, as long as they have an Internet connection.

So there’s been a lot of technical considerations we’ve had to make because of the way the previous software worked, we now need to allow that to come into the new age to access that remotely. It’s been a long project that we’ve been working on for quite a few months and it is now coming to the end.

We’re polishing off the last few bits, making sure our regression tests are all passing and catching any little things we need to change at this point. And then once we’ve signed that off, we’re then looking to write in the new features and the new bits of functionality that users can actually get to use and interact with CPL in a whole new way.

It’s all very exciting and I’m just looking forward to letting our customers see it really and seeing what they think because I think they’re going to be really impressed.

BLOCKTALK PODCAST

The new season of the Blocktalk podcast has started – have you listened yet?

You can listen to the latest Clientcast which went live on Wednesday 14th March, which is an update from the CPL team.

We’re now in the second season of the Blocktalk podcast which we launched on the 15th February with two guests – Malcolm Perryman, from The Property Institute, and Zoe Southwell, from Block Recruit.

There are many challenges facing the industry around recruitment, and this first episode of the new season was insightful and informative.

You can listen to the new season, and past episode of Blocktalk on Spotify, iTunes and Google.

Not a fan of those platforms? No problem, we’ve uploaded Blocktalk episodes to our YouTube channel.
