We've added 10 new certificates, including industry-first renewable certs; images in projects have had a significant update, and we've added a new Engineer / Diary mode you will find helpful as well as over 300 other changes.

In the latest release of Powered Now you can switch your start screen between the dashboard, your jobs or your teams jobs. This is really useful for your Engineers if you want to keep them focused on the job at hand.  Better Photos in Projects One of our biggest wishlist requests was to improve the way photos work on documents such as Invoices, Quotes and Worksheets. We've made a huge improvement to this in the latest release. 1. Change the size of images on your documents - Photos can now be attached to documents in four different sizes, including a full page. Perfect if you want to upload plans. 2. Better resolution & pinch to zoom - We have also significantly improved the resolution and introduced pinch to zoom, so you can get into the details of complex photos or plans. 3.

Unlimited Notes on Forms & Certificates We have introduced a new Notes section in Powered Now's certificates. This update addresses the need for a space with no character limits, allowing users to add unlimited notes to any certificate. The Notes section provides the option to explain details more thoroughly. Bugs Squished, Faster Performance v9.0.3 also brings a significant speed improvement to mobile and tablet users, especially on the first log-in, something those of you with large accounts will no doubt appreciate. We have also squashed a bunch of reported bugs, thank you for taking the time to let us know if you encounter a problem!
