Platform Updates

What's New

Recent improvements to the way you set up, manage and complete work in Curcle. See what has changed, what it helps with and how to use it.

Certificate branding

The right accreditation logo, without another upload

Set up your company's registration once and let Curcle select the matching standard artwork. Supported NICEIC, Gas Safe and NAPIT Electrical marks no longer need a separate logo upload.

  • The exact scheme. Choose NICEIC Approved Contractor, Domestic Installer or both. Curcle does not guess your NICEIC scheme from a registration number.
  • The relevant documents. Electrical marks stay with supported electrical certificates and electrical-tagged service sheets; Gas Safe stays with supported gas safety and commercial catering certificates and gas-tagged sheets.
  • Your control. Turn logo display off if required. Marks with a recorded expiry date stop appearing after that date. Existing issued documents stay unchanged.

Registrations are company-declared, not independently verified. Your company remains responsible for its entitlement to use the mark and the scope of its work. The logo does not make a Curcle document an official scheme-issued certificate or imply endorsement of Curcle. Other schemes are not automatically covered.

See certificate branding and the membership boundary.

Early access

Following findings through to a reviewed correction

This note describes newer capabilities entering Early access. The date is when we wrote it, not when they reached every account. Evidence visibility is available with company setup; additional blocking, recommendations and QS follow-through still need practical pilot validation. See the capability register for each feature's current status.

  • QS corrections. A reviewer assigns a finding to the engineer on the job, the engineer corrects the report evidence, and the reviewer checks it in a separate acceptance step. Acceptance does not approve, sign or release the certificate.
  • Eligibility evidence. Administrators can record the qualifications, training, authorisations, site clearances, instruments and working hours their company requires. Results explain what matched; only requirements marked required act as a gate, and none guarantee competence.
  • Operations worklist. Open corrections and waiting QS reviews show owner, age and a direct link, with 30-day counts from recorded events and their limits. These are not proven savings.

Photo extraction on an EICR remains an AI draft the competent person reviews; checks are rules-based and decisions stay with people. How follow-through works.

Product update

Richer imports, clearer parts pricing and urgent dispatch

This update makes it quicker to set up a company with the details you already hold, gives the office a clearer view of what parts really cost, and helps you reach the right engineer when a job cannot wait.

Bring more of your records across in one go

The importer now accepts customer and supplier websites, supplier postcodes and site telephone and mobile numbers. Save a column mapping to reuse next time, follow batch progress on larger files, and use the trial run to review what would be created, which conflicting rows would be held and what the receipt will show before you approve. Where a business website or email domain is available, Curcle can try to find the company logo; this is best effort, and a logo you upload always takes priority. How imports fit into getting started.

Parts pricing you can explain

Record a supplier's trade price before discount and your cost after discount, so margin is based on what you actually pay. Set a company default markup with per-customer overrides, add optional fitting-time estimates, and build reusable general or customer-specific parts catalogues and kits. Category suggestions are made from the part description and can be edited.

Issued work is not silently repriced. These are recorded prices, not live supplier price or stock feeds, and estimates do not log in to supplier accounts or place purchases automatically. See commercial controls.

Staff access that matches the job they do

Authorised company administrators can create security groups and choose staff capabilities within existing role and company access boundaries. Groups never grant access to another company or platform-level powers. Company information is reused across supported screens and documents, and enabled modules and trades shape which screens are relevant. Supported records can be archived and restored with their history kept. Security and data controls.

Urgent dispatch with a clear answer

The office chooses an engineer for an urgent job. An acknowledgement confirms receipt; accepting with an ETA takes ownership. Engineers can also decline, send a message or ask for a call in a private thread linked to the job. Opening a notification does not count as acknowledgement. Unanswered requests can escalate to the office, while reassignment remains a human decision. See urgent call-out controls.

Optional browser alerts with quiet hours

Staff can opt in to browser push notifications, set quiet hours and manage their devices. A supported browser and operating system and notification permission are needed; on iPhone, Curcle may need to be added to the home screen first.

Timely unattended escalation depends on server availability, and hosting may pause when idle, so alerts are not a guaranteed instant, around-the-clock or SLA-backed service. Curcle does not send SMS or make automated WhatsApp messages or calls.

Product update

Safer imports, easier recovery and clearer everyday work

This update focuses on bringing your existing information into Curcle with less effort, checking it before it becomes a live record, and making everyday administration clearer.

Bring site contacts with your spreadsheet

Site imports support contact telephone and mobile numbers alongside the site information. Common spreadsheet headings can be matched using import presets, and you can save a column mapping for your company to reuse on the next upload.

Larger site lists are processed in batches with progress and a saved result. Save an import draft to return to your review later, and use the receipt to see which records were created, already existed, were held for review or were left out. Conflicting site details are held for a decision rather than silently overwritten.

Check an import before you commit

The new trial run shows what would be created, which contacts would be added and which rows would be held, excluded or ignored as blank. It does not import business records. Your private draft can still save while you review it.

Changing the reviewed data or exclusions marks the forecast as out of date. Run the check again to refresh it, then approve the real import separately. Curcle checks the data again at approval, because existing records may have changed since your preview.

Fix held rows without repeating the good ones

From a saved, completed import, download an Excel workbook containing only the held or failed rows that still need attention. Correct their values and upload the workbook from the original receipt for a fresh preview and approval.

The workbook preserves phone numbers as text, including leading zeros. Successful rows are not included, and recovered rows cannot be imported twice through the correction flow. The original receipt stays unchanged, with a separate count of rows recovered. Correction files are private to the original uploader and available while the saved source is retained.

Archive users while keeping their history

Archive a user to remove them from the main user list and disable their login without losing their work history. Select the Archived view when you need to find or restore them.

Edit service-sheet details before publishing

Draft service-sheet templates let you update their name, trade, asset family and description before publishing. Published templates keep their controlled editing boundary, protecting the forms already in use by engineers.

General Availability

Operations Room & Clarity Advancements

This update expands the intelligence capabilities within Curcle, focusing on surfacing operational truth rather than requiring managers to build complex reports.

Clarity Enhancements

Clarity now explicitly surfaces the reasoning behind stalled or flagged jobs directly within the active workspace. If an EICR requires a specific part for remedial work that is currently out of stock, Clarity identifies this specific dependency and presents it as the reason for the delay, linking directly to the required purchase order.

Ask Curcle (Beta)

We have introduced Ask Curcle into a formal Beta program. Authorised users can now ask natural questions about a Site's history, such as "When was the last time the main distribution board was inspected, and were there any C2 observations?"

Critically, every claim returned by Ask Curcle is backed by a visible record count and links to the source jobs, strictly enforcing existing user permission boundaries.

Release Governance

Approval Owner: L. Herridge, Product

Availability: Clarity enhancements are available to all Professional tier users immediately. Ask Curcle remains in Beta and requires configuration during implementation for new environments.

Previous Updates

Structured Evidence & CP12 Native Workflows

Our previous major release formalised the native Gas Safety (CP12) module, bringing the same strict competent-person review boundary previously established for EICRs into our heating and plumbing capabilities.
