Alpha Tracker Release 29 - nearly 200 improvements

We're pleased to announce that the Summer/Autumn 2018 update to asbestos software Alpha Tracker is now available.

With nearly 200 updates since Release 28 was made available in late Spring, there is something in Release 29 for everyone.  Performance improvements, bug fixes and new features appear throughout the system helping admin staff, asbestos surveyors and company management help do their job even more efficiently.

Kim is busy finalising the release notes (watch out for them here on our website), but in the meantime take a look at this video which introduces a handful of the new features:

Good feedback from Alpha Tracker training

We've been analysing the responses we get from our asbestos software Alpha Tracker training sessions (the training we deliver in person as part of all new installations).

(1) The results are pretty good.  9/10 people say "Yes", they understand the training delivered:
