A restructured navigation, rebuilt wizards, and one workflow for payments

  • Hub-based navigation — Modules are grouped into hubs on a left rail, with the views inside each hub as tabs across the top of the page, so related screens sit together instead of in one long list.
  • Favourites — Favourite any page from its header and it pins to the top of the nav drawer.
  • Shortcuts — The nav drawer carries a shortcuts section for the places you reach for often, including Settings destinations, so you land on the right tab rather than the Settings landing page.
  • Faster switching between modules — Moving between modules keeps the shell in place and loads only the content area, with a progress sweep and skeletons that match the page you are opening.
  • A refreshed sign-in and loading experience — Login and loading states across the app now follow the Utilified brand.

Scenarios

  • New scenario launcher — Start a scenario from one place, with a history tab showing what you have run before.
  • Rebuilt scenario wizards — Scenario creation runs through consistent step-by-step wizards with searchable pickers for Sites, Connections and Retail Accounts, and you can add subjects manually where the data is not on the platform yet.
  • Opportunity summary and branded PDF — Each scenario ends with an opportunity summary you can export as a branded PDF report to share with the customer.

Payments

  • One payments workflow — Payment batches, the ledger and Invoice triage now sit in a single workflow under Invoices, so you approve a batch and see the resulting ledger movements without changing screens.
  • One record of what is instructed, paid and captured — Payment status is now derived from a single source, so the batch, the ledger and the Invoice agree on what has actually been paid.

Utilities & submetering

  • Submetering hierarchies — Build a parent/child hierarchy of Connections, view consumption charts across the hierarchy, and manage the data feeds behind it.
  • Inverter data feeds — Sub-connections accept inverter data feeds alongside metered data.

Invoices & validation

  • Email-receipt reports — Report on the Invoices received into an account inbox, including what arrived and what was processed.
  • Inbox actions that respond immediately — Actions on the Inbox apply straight away and the tab counts stay accurate as you work.
  • Invoices scoped by account inbox — Invoices and their charge records now resolve against the account inbox as well as the Retail Account, so mail-in Invoices appear against the right account.
  • Fewer duplicate Retail Accounts on import — Imports match existing Retail Accounts across a supplier’s related entities instead of creating a second account.
  • Large inboxes load quickly — The Inbox list is faster on accounts with a long history.

Setup & forms

  • Rebuilt setup wizards — Seven setup flows — including Sites, Connections and Tariffs — now run on one wizard framework, with the same step, validation and review behaviour throughout.
  • Simpler single-step forms — Flows that never needed multiple steps are now a form with a live preview beside it, and two-factor setup is consolidated into one screen.
  • Look up related records inline — Autocomplete fields open a searchable lookup dialog when you need to find a record by more than its name.
  • See what a site deactivation affects — The site deactivation dialog previews what will change before you confirm.

Joule

  • Plan approval — Joule sets out a plan for what it intends to change and waits for your approval before acting.
  • Joule in the nav drawer — The Joule launcher now sits in the nav drawer rather than floating over the page.

Settings & users

  • Rebuilt user management — The user list is now a full data grid with the same filtering, sorting and column controls as the rest of the app.
  • Accurate user status — A user’s account state (invited, active, deactivated) is tracked separately from their recent engagement, so the status column reflects the account rather than last activity.
  • Portal users stay in the Portal — Portal accounts can no longer sign in to UMS, and are told where to go instead.

Reports

  • Bulk Consumption Export per connection — The export runs in batches per Connection and streams its output, so large exports complete rather than timing out.
  • Clearer report history — Per-connection exports are labelled as ZIP in report history so you know what you are downloading.
  • Chart exports on white-labelled reports — Chart exports render correctly on branded reports, and analyse series draw continuously across the period.

Home

  • Complete-month spend and growth — The spend hero reports on complete months only, with growth statistics and a notifications module alongside it.

Other improvements

  • Agreement statistics span the full width — The Agreements module’s statistics row now matches the other modules.
  • Security updates — Dependency advisories across the platform and the Portal have been patched.
