February 2026 System Updates
In March Extended Bookie’s powers to movers, got PubNet EDI partly up and running, rolled out many improvements to movers, and the website. We also started on a Mob POS v2 using a different technology that is specialised for mobile. On top of this there was plenty of housing keeping to keep the system current and fast.
