Release Notes
Release: 2025.27.1
Date: 1st July 2025
📑 Summary
This release makes it easier to create and understand comparisons, overlays store context on Spend trends, and fixes key issues slowing users down.
⭐️ Key Updates
1. Overlay POIs on map to contextualise Spend trends
See exactly where stores sit on the map alongside Spend trends—making it easier to spot what’s driving performance.
2. Improved comparison menu
The comparison menu got a much-needed overhaul. Previously cluttered and confusing, it’s now streamlined so users can find, create, and edit comparisons with confidence.
Saved comparison details: Saved Comparisons now show when each was created and last used, with sorting by last used date by default—making it easier to prioritise what matters most.
Center comparisons: The “Center” comparison now appears by default and is tailored to each store, making benchmarks more relevant.
Note: With this change, Center comparisons can no longer be created. If they do not appear in the Saved Comparisons, it’s because it’s not applicable in the area you’re in (toggle off ‘Show only applicable’ to see it displayed).
Comparison editing experience: Users editing a saved comparison now have clearer indicators they’re modifying an existing configuration, not starting from scratch.
3. Improved clarity of data freshness
Freshness is now front and center – no more guessing how up-to-date your data is.
🛠️ Improvements and Bug Fixes
- Links now working: Shared URL links that were not working have now been fixed.
- Empty state added for Benchmarking Dashboard: Users now see a helpful message with instructions when comparisons are removed in the Benchmarking Dashboard.
- Optimised custom groups query in Chains: Backend query performance is improved when loading Custom Groups, reducing delays and timeouts.
- Spend data calculation fixes: In the time series graph, Spend values were being aggregated rather than averaged. This has now been fixed, in line with the rest of the platform.
- Incorrect ‘visits’ label in Spend legend fixed: Removed a confusing ‘visits’ suffix from Spend legend labels to make metric names clearer and more accurate.
- Map now resets correctly after adding a comparison and switching Places: Map interaction has been improved to reset and focus properly after comparisons are added or switched.
- Recently Viewed in Places now updating: Recently viewed items in Places now update correctly.
- Removed Edit button from Dashboards: This button was causing an issue and, as everything is now editable from the Dashboard screen, has been removed.
