CarVue Update - 10th Feb 2016

Release v1.2.24

We may still be in the middle of a wet and wild winter here at CarVue HQ in Reading, but the sun is shining for our users with our latest release bringing in some neat layout and process changes in Sales, and our developers cranking up the speed of the application for everyone.

It's good news if you're a car dealer as we've put in some great enhancements to the stock management process in our Sales module (take a look at the enhancements in detail below).

We've also listened to some of our users noticing slow system speed in places. Our developers put CarVue up on the ramp for a few weeks to look at the inner workings, and have started work on a major overhaul to the engine to speed it up further. We want to know how it's performing for you, so please take a few seconds to let us know if it's faster for you by chatting to our support team in the app.

Of course, an update wouldn't be an update without fixing those pesky bugs you keep finding. We were pretty sure there weren't any, but you do keep finding ways of breaking it (but thanks for doing it!!). Anyway, we've gone and fixed a whole heap of the ones you reported to us.

Thanks again to all of you for your feedback, bug finding and feature ideas. Working together we're making CarVue better for everyone.
