Amazed at year-end at how easy it was, I had to do very little as Finance Officer- my job was essentially redundant!

What's New: Enhanced Financial Reporting, Streamlined Booking Management, and Advanced Mapping Capabilities

by 
John Fagan
· Updated
Mar 26, 2024

This is our first update this year. We’re thrilled to announce a comprehensive update across our Scribe products, designed to make managing your council's needs even smoother and more efficient.

We have made over 200 small changes and fixes, but in this blog I will share some of my favourites.

Let’s dive into the highlights of what’s new!

New Mapping for Allotments and Cemetery

‍We’re excited to introduce new mapping capabilities, including the use of Mapbox to draw areas, rectangles, and circles, label them, and assign them to specific plot records. This feature not only enhances the visual management of your spaces but also provides more accurate and accessible record-keeping.

Very easy to use.....

You can add rectangles, areas and circles and label or assign them to records.

Enhanced Waiting List (Scribe Allotments):

Our updated interface now displays the position within the waiting list, offering clearer communication and expectations to prospective allotment holders.

‍

Enhanced Financial Management

Trial Balance Report (Scribe Accounts): We’ve added a Trial Balance report under the Year-End section. This enhancement makes it easier to review your income and expenses at a glance, streamlining your year-end reporting process.

Bulk Downloading Invoices for Printing (Scribe Accounts): Say goodbye to the hassle of downloading invoices one by one. Our latest update allows you to download multiple invoices simultaneously, saving you time and making batch printing a breeze.

‍Confidential Cashbook (Scribe Accounts): Enhance your financial security with our new Confidential Cashbook feature, allowing for restricted access to sensitive financial transactions.

‍

Booking and Venue Management Made Easy

Customisable Booking Inquiries (Scribe Bookings):

‍Elevate your booking process with the power to ask exactly what you need to know. Our latest feature introduces customisable questions directly into the booking flow, enabling you to gather specific details about each reservation. Whether it's confirming if a bouncy castle will be part of a village hall birthday bash, or understanding unique needs for different venues, this update empowers you to capture all the critical information upfront.

Say goodbye to back-and-forth emails and hello to streamlined, informed event planning. This enhancement not only saves valuable time but also ensures that every booking aligns perfectly with both your requirements and those of your customers, making every event a seamless success.

Bulk Update Existing Bookings with New Fees (Scribe Bookings):

Adjusting your pricing? No problem. Quickly update existing bookings to reflect new fees, ensuring consistency and transparency with your clients.

‍

These updates are a reflection of our commitment to providing world-class support and user-friendly solutions for parish and town councils across England and Wales. With a shared CRM across all products, advanced record filtering, full data encryption, and unlimited users, training, and support, we’re here to ensure your council's management is as seamless and effective as possible.

Explore these new features and discover how they can transform your council's operations. As always, our team is here to support you every step of the way. Here’s to making your Scribe experience better than ever!
