The Future of Abtrac – August 2026 Roadmap Update

Exciting Changes Are Coming to Abtrac

We’re making some of the biggest visual improvements to Abtrac in years.

Over the next 6–12 months, you’ll see a refreshed interface, smarter navigation, and powerful new tools designed to simplify the way you work.

But don’t worry, these changes won’t appear all at once. We’ll introduce them gradually, with plenty of notice and regular product updates to keep you informed every step of the way.

This video highlights the latest features already available and gives you a first look at what’s coming next.

Coming Soon

Refreshed User Interface

A cleaner, more modern look with improved page layouts, clearer validation messages and a more consistent user experience.

New Navigation (August 2026)

A collapsible left-hand menu and Quick Actions toolbar that provide more screen space while making commonly used functions easier to access.

Simplified Administration (September – October 2026)

Administration pages are being consolidated so related settings—such as employee details, permissions, responsibilities and login information can all be managed from a single screen.

Enhanced Employee Information (December 2026)

New employee metrics, including details such as last login and record activity, giving administrators additional visibility at a glance.

Next-Generation Work Scheduling (December 2026 – January 2027)

A completely redesigned scheduling experience that allows you to:

  • Schedule jobs, tasks and work items
  • Allocate work using drag-and-drop
  • View schedules by employee or project
  • Identify overallocated resources
  • Balance workloads across your team
  • Filter by office, team or job manager
  • View schedules by week, fortnight or month

What isn’t changing

Friendly, in-house support

When you need help, you’ll still speak to our experienced in-house team by phone or email – real people who know Abtrac inside and out.

Developed with your feedback

Your feedback continues to shape Abtrac. We actively listen to client suggestions and use them to guide future improvements and new features.

Regular, Incremental Updates

Rather than one major release, new features and interface improvements will continue to be introduced gradually, making it easier to learn and adopt each change.

Product Updates, including Videos

We’ll continue to let you know what’s coming with product updates within Abtrac, and on our general updates page via videos like this one, giving you an early look at new features before they’re released.

These temporary release notes were last updated 30/07/2026
