Since the last update
May has been another month of bug bashing as we try to perfect the big new features that we want to push to prod Agency and the new website. It is always difficult to get these things out the door (there is always a way to make something better) but we feel way can draw a line now and give release dates.
- Agency feature Thursday 8th July
- New website layout Thursday 15th June
- This video (8:45) shows you how to check your site on beta, and tells your designers where to start.If you need a graphic designer here’s a list that have experience working on Circle sites.
We are keen to get you to test these features ahead of a roll out to prod. Look at the help video walkthroughs, have a go and email support@circlesoft.net with any issues you strike.
New Features
- Supplier integration
- We now deliver P&A data into stores for Distributors that use Circle for their website. (Video)
