Our latest Alpha Tracker Mobile update has hit the app stores (Google and Apple).

The biggest change will benefit Alpha Tracker water hygiene (Legionella) technicians. We've improved the logic which powers our data integrity checks, and this should reduce the number of alerts that the technicians see, especially at the start of the day.
A larger update is on its way, featuring a new sync method that makes it faster and easier for site staff to send in their data and photos

Another Alpha Tracker asbestos consultancy is live. This time it is Lancashire County Scientific Services!
 |
| Kim has spent the day training the asbestos surveyors and administrators |
Lancashire County Scientific Services will be using asbestos software Alpha Tracker to survey buildings across the county for asbestos, analysing samples and producing asbestos reports for their internal and external customers.
Using a variety of handheld devices, asbestos surveyors will be capturing site data, taking photos and updating plans electronically, and then sending this over mobile data or WiFi - all with one click! Once asbestos samples are analysed, reports will be produced automatically to match the current Lancashire County formats. All asbestos reports in Alpha Tracker are created from custom templates to ensure that the output is perfect.
Can we help your asbestos consultancy to improve efficiency and the service you provide to your clients? Get in touch! We have demo slots available in May, and software trials are also available. If you are switching from competitor systems, we can also offer healthy discounts during 2024.

In the course of a couple of days this week we reached two milestones here at Start Software.
 |
We've raised our 9,000th job, and our 70,000th customer support ticket. Feels like it too, we've been especially busy all year.
Our 9,000th piece of work is pretty typical for us. It's for a client we've been working for since 2006 - most of our customers become partners over time. We work hard to build long-standing relationships with our clients.
The job itself is just a small software change to the business management system that we created for them more than 16 years ago. It has grown as they have grown. When we implemented it, they were a two-person company. They now have more than 200 staff!
Support ticket #70,000 was a bug that one of our users found in one of our apps, Alpha Tracker Mobile. Did you know that we want our users to report bugs and that we even send a thank you present to everyone that does? Get in touch if you think you've found one!
Thank you to all of our clients, old and new - we appreciate you, your business and your trust in us.
