The stand is up (thanks to Judy's husband & kids - they did the hard work while Judy watched on, we believe!!).  That was step 1 - Judy and the stand from Adelaide to Queenstown to arrive at the  FAMANZ  2025 asbestos conference. The Alpha Tracker stand is up - courtesy of Judy's family! Kim has also arrived in Queenstown from the UK, with husband Tim in tow.  That's quite a journey - they look remarkably refreshed!  Step 2, complete. If you're attending FAMANZ this year, make a bee-line for Judy & Kim, they will be delighted to talk to you and show you the latest  Alpha Tracker Release .

More software updates on the way including a new Exchange Calendar Sync and hyperlinks to photos in asbestos reports

Jack & Adam are working on some more updates to asbestos software Alpha Tracker.

Product Manager Jack and developer Adam

There is a new version of Exchange Calendar Sync which fixes a couple of bugs.  One of the fixes relates to the situation where an appointment is swapped from one member of staff to another, and then quickly moved to another date or time.  One of our asbestos consultancy clients had spotted that appointments in this situation were not always being synced correctly.

Adam has been working on a new feature for PDF asbestos reports.  He's enabling an option so we can including hyperlinks to photos in PDF reports enabling a larger, higher quality photo to be displayed if the hyperlink is clicked on by the report recipient.  This is pretty clever stuff - also helping you to make the most of Alpha Tracker's Client Portal with your clients.

New Australian National Guide for Asbestos Surveys has been published by the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency

Our Australian Alpha Tracker asbestos consultancies will be aware of the recent consultation to develop a national guide and standard for asbestos surveying.  This has now been published by the Asbestos and Silica Safety and Eradication Agency (ASSEA) in consultation with asbestos professionals, industry associations, regulatory authorities and worker representatives.

The guide can be downloaded as a PDF

Jack and his team are updating asbestos software Alpha Tracker now to reflect the new regime.

Contact Judy in our Adelaide office to discuss how Alpha Tracker will be modified, and how it will affect your asbestos consultancy.
