Updates

Coming Soon

Between July 1st 24 and August 19th, Speckel will be releasing the following key features, with a primary focus on improving user experience and education.

Project Management

Our new Project Management feature is focused on streamlining project deliverables, including the ability to set project and stage specific goals and milestones against members of your Team. This feature will also provide a new system of documentation management, enabling the platform to be used to manage all project applicable data in one place. Our goal is to enhance the overall management of your Team to provide better visibility, so you can deliver your goals faster..

Enhanced Security

We understand the importance of security. Our new single sign-on (SSO) feature enhances the safety of your data management by providing a more streamlined and secure login process. With SSO, you can access multiple applications with a single set of credentials, reducing the risk of password fatigue and increasing your overall security. This integration simplifies user authentication, improves productivity, and ensures your data remains protected against unauthorised access.

Interoperability

Import geometry directly into the platform, allowing for seamless integration and enhanced workflow efficiency. Interoperability can be challenging due to differences in data formats, compatibility issues, and the need for manual data entry, which can lead to errors and inefficiencies. Our new feature addresses these challenges by ensuring smooth data transfer between various software systems, reducing the risk of inconsistencies and saving you valuable time.

On-demand Training

Enhance your professional skills with our on-demand training. Complete comprehensive courses, take exams to test your knowledge, and earn a certification from Speckel to showcase your expertise. Our training programs are designed to fit your schedule and help you stay ahead in your field.
