Long jobs that survive a restart

- Automatic column mapping, remembered between uploads
- Review and resolve conflicts before saving

Tags you can manage, not just apply
Tags became managed records: merge duplicates, archive the ones you stopped using, act on them in bulk, and set synonyms so different words find the same things.
New
- Merge, archive and bulk-manage tags
- Tag synonyms so different words find the same things

Send someone the exact list you're looking at

Charts that repair their own gaps
Metric history can now spot gaps and backfill them, so a chart missing a slice of time no longer just quietly shows a smaller number.
Fixed
- Gaps in metric history are detected and backfilled
- Charts no longer under-report on incomplete history

Cost reports stop being rebuilt every time you look
Costing moved to a materialised model, so reports and dashboards load from something already assembled rather than being recalculated per query.
Improved
- Cost reports load from materialised data

Permissions, enforced in one place
Every access check moved behind a single permission set, so what you can do is decided consistently everywhere rather than screen by screen.
Improved

Seasonality, and venues that stay in their lane
Products carry seasonal availability so costing decisions account for what is actually in season. Venues can also be locked to their own products rather than the organisation's.
New
- Seasonal availability on products
- Controlled venues limited to their own products

Count stock on the tablet
Stocktake came to the kitchen screen, so counting happens where the stock is rather than on a laptop somewhere else.
