Some of the upcoming changes are:

1. User-Propagation in Salesperson's and Technician's app: Currently, the salesperson's and technician's application shows a default user name and not of the one who has actually logged in. The upcoming version will have user - propagation implemented, and the user who is logged in will see their details.

3. Customization of Mobile Cards: The Mobile Cards application will be customized to give it a look and feel of Mahlwerk's application.
4. Listing job details in Technician's app: In the Technician's application, to resolve any task, the feature to list the jobs, steps and tools required by the technician will be added.
