We are pleased to announce that we have extended our Microsoft, Facebook and Google logins to directly support Organisational accounts.  

By default Microsoft, Facebook and Google logins create personal accounts, but users are now given the opportunity to create an organisation. Both the personal account and the organisation account are then linked to the login. Users can switch between the personal account and organisational account.

This is part of our move to more open and flexible account management and a frictionless registration process.

Our Halloween release is here and it's a bit of a shocker! 

As administration systems head towards self-service, we have listened to our users, who have said, "this is not what our vets want!".  

Many vets don't have the time to deal with logins and typing information into computer systems. They just want to scrawl the information on a paper form, give it to the crematorium and be done with it. While this doesn't fit with the ideal of a paperless process, sometimes you have to go with the flow...

With this in mind we are pleased to announce the release of our AI powered form capture facility. With this facility you can:

•	Take a photograph of a manually filled application form, or upload a scanned image.

•	Initiate form capture in a single click

•	Review captured information and merge in with any existing data

•	Use captured customer details to search for existing customers or create a new customer as required.

Form capture uses OCR to extract form information in any language. It then uses AI to marry up the captured data with our data model and your lookups to create a near perfect record in about 30 - 40 seconds.

Our pre-Halloween release brings lots of exciting advancements to our finance processing facilities, including:

•	New invoicing and debt chasing facilities. 

Allow chasing letters to be sent and tracked and long standing debt to be referred to debt collectors.

•	Pay an invoice by an email link

Allow invoices to be paid by a convenient link in the email. You can customise the contents of the email in the built-in word processor.

•	Reversal processing

Easily reverse invoices charges by picking and clicking. A new reversal is created and perfectly allocated to the original charges and original payment allowing the original payment to be completely or partially refunded over the counter or by your payment provider.

•	Automatic reverse for common events, like cancellation of orders

The system will automatically generate reverse charges for orders and events when cancellation occurs, allowing you to generate a credit invoice and refund associated payments.

•	Auto generation of cancellation fees

Set up cancellation products and automate them. Add conditions based on event type, how many hours in advance the cancellation has occurred and many other parameters. 

•	A new Payments received report

Report on payments received, unallocated payments, allocated payments, receipted and unreceipted payments. 

•	A new Product sales analysis report with gross margin / markup figures

Analyse product sales over a period of time and see quantities, net/tax/gross values, margin and markup. 

Other improvements to the system include:

•	Queued cremation processing for pet cremations. 

Cremation events can be added to a processing queue, rather than being booked to occur at a specific time. This is a better match to the way pet crematoria work in practice.

•	Send the form to the applicant alone or applicant and funeral director for completion and signing
•	Use automation to send out the preliminary automatically form when a new booking is made
•	Use automation to scrape data captured on the form into the database
•	Use automation to complete corresponding checklist items

Today we are pleased to announce the release of eWitness support for our document signing module. This advancement means that our Contract Enquiries and Transfers module can handle deed style transfer documents.

eWitness support allows each document signatory to nominate a witness. The witness is sent a link, which takes them to the same document on their device. Through a hand shaking protocol the system ensures that the witness and signatory are together and that there is a clear line of sight between them.

Witnesses are required to provide the legally required information including; their name, address, occupation and signature. Document templates can have merge fields or input fields defined for each of these allowing you to produce professional looking documents close in likeness to your original paper based forms.

The details of each witness are added to the signed document and the document audit log.
