We’re excited to announce the release of our design refresh for the app. We’ve made it even easier to find the products you need.

Quotes Integration
We’ve sped up the time it takes for a won quote to be visible under Jobs so you can order the products you need even earlier, by integrating your simple quotes directly into our system as soon as you have marked the quote as won in the Trade Portal or the Trade App. No need to wait for one of the team to enter the details.
