Keeping your Dr Smash Management Software up to date is essential for maintaining efficiency, compliance, and competitiveness in your business operations.
Below, we outline the importance of upgrades and provide relevant examples to illustrate their impact.
Access to New Features
Upgrades may introduce new functionalities that improve productivity, streamline workflows, and enhance user experience. From Version 11.10 to our latest Version 11.11 (released 01 April 2025) there are 38 new features available! For a comprehensive list of these features, we recommend having a read through our What’s New page.
Enhanced Automation
Upgrades allow for workflow enhancements by converting manual tasks to automated processes. This leads to increased productivity, reduced costs, and allows businesses to provide a superior customer experience while maintaining compliance and operational efficiency.
A great example would be the automation of the Costing Sheet. Dr Smash proactively highlights missing elements from both the new and old versions of the job, such as parts, labour, or external contracts, ensuring that any discrepancies are brought to your attention immediately. This results in the costing process becoming 99% automated when utilizing Dr Smash to its full capacity, only requiring manual input for exceptions to your predefined rules.
Regulatory Compliance
Staying updated ensures that your software aligns with the latest industry regulations and legal requirements. New Insurance spreadsheets, updated Tax Compliance, updated Income Tax Tables, continuous enhancements to our Wages module, SARS 201/501, and UIF/UI19 compliance.
