We’ve been busy building new features and enhancements to make WorkflowMax by BlueRock even better for your business. From smarter scheduling and custom notifications to a game-changing SuiteFiles integration, these updates are designed to help you work smarter, get paid faster, and stay on top of every job. 

Let’s dive in 💚

📌 New ‘Dashboard Widget’ - Stay on top of key milestones 

No more missed deadlines! Our new Milestone Widget displays upcoming and overdue job milestones front and center on your dashboard, so your team always knows what’s next. More widgets - like a calendar view- are on their way, giving you even more visibility into your work. 

 

📋 Smarter ‘Invoicing & Permissions’ - Thanks to your feedback! 

✔️ More control over invoices – Users who create invoices can now cancel them when needed. 

✔️ Bulk delete draft invoices – Back by popular demand! Quickly clean up and manage invoices without the hassle. 

These updates help keep your invoicing efficient, accurate, and frustration-free. 

 

📂 Attach ‘Documents to Purchase Orders’ 

Keep everything in one place! You can now save supporting documents (like supplier invoices) directly to purchase orders, making it easier to track and reference essential files. 

 

 

🗂️ ‘Dynamic Filtering

We've added a new feature to Custom Reports to make filtering even easier. Now, you'll see a Filter button in the top right corner when viewing a report. Clicking it will slide out a panel showing the filters applied in step three.

📆 Plus, if you have the right permissions, you can adjust them on the spot. Need to tweak the date range or add a new filter, like job status? Just update the criteria, click Apply, and see the changes instantly, no need to jump back into the Report Builder.


 

📊 New ‘Standard Reports’ for deeper job and time insights 

We’ve added three new standard reports to give you more clarity on your jobs and costs: 

Job Cost Report – Easily compare actual costs vs. budgeted costs. 

Hours Analysis Report – See exactly how productive your team’s time is. 

Lost Earnings Report – Track the recovery of your billable time. 

These reports help you make informed decisions, improve efficiency, and maximise profitability. 

 

🔔 New ‘Custom Notifications’ - Never miss a critical update again 

Stay ahead of deadlines and billable hours with custom notifications tailored to your workflow! 

✔️ Job & task-based alerts – Get notified before or when a job or task is due. 

✔️ Time tracking alerts – Receive an alert when a % of a job or task’s estimated hours have been used, so you can avoid overruns and get paid for every hour worked. 

✔️ Email & team notifications – Keep your team in the loop with alerts sent to individuals or entire teams. 

These notifications help you manage work proactively, deliver on schedule and to budget.
