November 2014 Workshop Software Update
What’s included
Here at Workshop Software we are always improving the product and streamlining our processes. We always want to continue to offer you greater value, and further streamline your mechanical workshop. We’ve been getting some feedback over the past while and we attempt to implement the best ideas and improvements suggested by our users.
This update includes a cool new text formatting feature when adding notes to an invoice. you’re now able to format the text, make headings, bullets, bold, alignment etc. This will help you to provide better looking invoices for your customers, and make you look even more professional.
We also had a small glitch in the system which made typing appear slow in some instances. The system was a little too excited to find what you were looking for, that it was firing off some processes a little too eagerly. We’ve improved this along with making the searching just as fast (if not faster).
We’ve been asked for better Xero integration and more options, and we’ve delivered on this. We’ve fixed some issues with syncing, and we’ve added some options to better break down your transactions in Xero and added an extra option for Tax Types which were causing some issues depending on how you had your Xero system configured.

What’s coming next
We have some REALLY cool things in the pipeline. One in particular will be rolled out to some test sites in the next week or so and is a major change to how Automotive Mechanical Workshops will do business in Australia and New Zealand. We are looking to roll this feature out to the general user base early January, stay tuned for details.
