We have improved the information capture about your organisations you deal with to enable you to better manage them. Whether it's reflecting their status in your onboarding flow or being able to get precise geo-location data for CBAM calculations, you now have more capability in your hands.

We built the site in dark mode because it's cool (well, because it's easier on the eyes and saves a bit of energy) but we regularly discuss adding a light mode. Now we did it! This is part of an a progressive overhaul of our app's screens to make things as easy to use as possible so watch this space.

Company details, materials, types, stock locations, order statuses, tags and rules used to live on nine separate pages, spread across a long sidebar list. Finding the right screen meant hunting.

They're now one workspace: Customise GoSmarter, reached from a single dashboard card and sidebar entry. Switch between tabs instead of pages — everything's still exactly where it was, just no longer scattered.

Organisations keeps its own dedicated page, since that's where you manage your actual customers and suppliers day-to-day, rather than one-off setup.

Old bookmarks and links still work so they'll drop you straight into the right tab.

When you're dealing with hundreds of mill certificates / material test reports every month, a single table of uploads can be overwhelming.

You can now archive certificates you don't want to see normally, either one at a time or by bulk select, and we'll provide a prompt to regularly archive certificates that are more than a month old and don't have an any active stock.

Additionally, if you upload something in error or no longer need it, you can delete them. Don't worry they're still recoverable if you accidentally delete them! You can view deleted items in the Bulk Action options.

Your customers expect you to meet detailed specifications, we're starting to make that as simple as possible from the data-side of things.

The first version of this is having metal and standard specific type fields you can fill in by selecting a metal family, a standard, and optionally a grade.

We will be expanding this heavily over coming months based on your feedback so get testing and being opnionated!

As well as being able to provide your own branded certificates to customers, we wanted to make it easy for you to provide customers with the upstream certificates.

Now you can also download a supplier pack for your orders. Like the own-branded certificate pack it uses your branding to produce the bill of materials and cover pages per item but the pages of associated material test report / mill certificate will be attached instead. We overlay the order info, item, and review status as a watermark and you can also upload your own stamp and have custom text to go with it to show that you reviewed the materials before dispatch.

You can now review order line items before they ship, giving you the QA audit trail to support your traceability.

From either the dropdown on the main order view or within an order's detail page you can select Quality Review. This allows you approve and flag problems with goods so you can do Goods Out with more quality gates in place.

The date and user who did the quality review is also included the system for audit trails.

We’ve shipped an upgrade to mill certificate ↔ inventory matching by adding Product Reference as an alternate key alongside heat codes. This matters for people who receive certificates for individual plates etc. that could be from the same heat code as many other items.

What’s new

• Inventory and mill-certificate heats now support Product Reference.

• Matching logic is heat-first: Heat-code matches always take precedence when it is completed for an inventory item. Product Reference is used when no heat match is available. This means no unexpected changes for existing data.
• Tag rules can include product-reference matches (without double-counting when both keys match the same heat).

• Product Reference is now incorporated into imports and exports of inventory, used for matching certificates, and is included where present in certificate packs.

Just a quick update to say that now you can export all your mill certificate / material test report data as CSV with ease. This is available as a bulk action on the mill cert summary page. Your data is always yours - you should be able to download it easily.

You can now subscribe to Rule Packs, which are curated, ready-to-use compliance checks for common metals standards, with no manual rule setup required.

Head to Company core data → Rule Packs to browse 15 packs across 5 categories:

• Rebar (BS 4449, ASTM A615, CARES traceability)

• Stainless Steel (EN 10088)

• Non-Ferrous Metals

• Structural & Alloy Steel

• Nickel Alloys

Subscribe to a pack and it automatically flags non-conforming inventory, mill certificates, and orders, no configuration needed. Matches show up as colour-coded tags right where you already work:

• 🔴 Block: critical non-conformance

• 🟠 Flag: needs review

• 🔵 Audit: informational

Every pack shows exactly which standards and grades it covers, and you can expand any pack to see its full rule list before subscribing.

A few things to know:

• Pack rules are read-only and managed by GoSmarter, so they stay consistent but you're always in control: unsubscribe anytime, or delete individual rules if one doesn't apply to you.

• Use the new System Tags filter on your Inventory, Orders, and Mill Certs pages to see pack-driven findings separately from your own custom tags.

• This is a first release of our rule content so we're continuing to refine the rules against exact standard clause text, so treat matches as a helpful first pass rather than a final compliance determination for now.
• These currently depend on our IDs for grades and material types - we're working on making them more flexible.

Give it a try and let us know what other standards or grades you'd like to see covered next.
