Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of 5D Version 2, the most comprehensive update to our digital compliance and safety software in three years. This major milestone, rolled out today to all our customers across the UK, is the result of months of development work driven by direct feedback from the people who use it every day.
The V2 update is focused on three key areas: improving the user experience with a visual refresh, increasing platform speed, and adding new functionality designed to save time and streamline workflows.
Mark Haase, CEO, says: "The launch of V2 is a proud moment for us. It’s really a story about our partnership with our customers. They told us they needed a faster, updated platform and smarter ways to handle things like contractor compliance. We’ve listened and delivered an update that makes a tangible difference to daily operations."
What's New in Version 2?
A Refreshed, Modern Interface The first thing users will notice is the refreshed look. We've given the software a cleaner, more modern interface while ensuring the core navigation and menus remain in the same place, meaning there is zero re-training required for existing users.
New Functionality to Streamline Your Work Based on specific customer requests, we’ve introduced two major new features:
A Faster, More Responsive Experience We've upgraded the underlying technology that powers 5D, resulting in a noticeably faster and more responsive platform. From signing in to running reports, day-to-day tasks now feel quicker and smoother.
Dan Tooth, Head of Technology, adds: "From a technical perspective, V2 is about building a rock-solid foundation for the future. We’re excited about the entire package of updates in V2; the performance upgrades and new functionality all solve real-world problems our customers face. This update allows us to be more agile and continue delivering the features our users need."
A Platform That's Always Improving
The V2 launch is also a chance to highlight the dozens of enhancements we've been adding over the last 18 months, including MIS integrations for our education customers, bulk contractor uploads, and quicker sign-in and evacuation processes.
Our work doesn’t stop here. The development team is already working on the next set of features, including an enhanced fire register and new reporting tools. Our commitment is to the continuous improvement of the 5D platform to meet the evolving safety and compliance challenges of our customers.
