What's new in Offorte

View the most recent updates to the proposal application. Product development is done based on valuable feedback from our customers and of course also based on our vision. We started Offorte in 2010, since then we brought numerous updates.

Update

A new update has been implemented that, in addition to various technical optimizations behind the scenes, has also made some new improvements.

 

Below is an overview of the most important items:

  • Editor: If you have not yet made any unsaved changes in the editor, you will first receive a notification when you leave the editor, so that you can save if desired.
  • Proposal: The proposal name and proposal number are now shown on the approval screen and on the signature page. This is only visible for new proposals, existing proposals remain unchanged.
  • Presentation: the scroll display has been improved and smoother.
  • Sending: the structure of proposal links has been made more robust and therefore more resistant to spam filter operations.

New Recycle Bin

Recently we have implemented various small improvements and optimisations. A new feature has also become available today: a Recycle Bin for your proposals and contacts.

That is how it works
When you delete a proposal and/or contact, they will be moved to the recycle bin. Only after 14 days is the bin permanently emptied. If you have accidentally deleted something, you can undo it via Settings > Trash. The trash function currently only works for proposals and contacts, but not yet for other things such as favourites, templates, etc. These are on the roadmap to be added.

Extended user profiles

This update includes minor updates & optimizations. As mentioned earlier, almost all the time currently goes to the development of the new editor. Nevertheless, a new functionality has also been added to Offorte today.

Maintenance Update

Just now we pushed a new update. Its a maintenance release with no big changes.

  • Added email link support in editor
  • Correction of link in email when customer first views proposal
  • Formatting pricing table rules via API optimized
  • Several infrastructure optimizations

Work on new proposal editor started
Behind the scenes, a completely new proposal editor is being worked on. This creates a foundation for many future extensions and allows you to create multiple types of layouts yourself. The new editor is rebuilt from scratch, which takes a lot of time to do this right, hence other updates are limited to the minimum until the editor is ready. All feedback we received from users about the editor, of course, are included in the new editor.

Multiple signers

The main role in this update is the ability to make one or more signers mandatory before your proposal is accepted. For example, you can now assign multiple people as needed to sign, and you can configure contacts so they can only see the proposal, but not sign it. Further, small optimizations and improvements have been made:

  • With favorite proposals you can now better set the default design and text templates used, these are also used when creating a new proposal
  • In the favorites pages and paragraphs you can now also set the design and text templates
  • There is now the opportunity to copy a design template
  • The proposal in the API shows the price table ID
  • Several small improvements
